The spring wheat cultivar CDC Primepurple is considered a good source of anthocyanin pigments The pigments are more stable in the bran matrix compared to a solubilized form when subjected to heat treatments at various pH values The purple wheat pigments are more stable at a pH of 1 At a high…Read More
Prototyping an online radio frequency (RF) disinfestation unit: a step towards industrial applications
This project was to see whether radio frequency (RF) energy, at the industrial scale, could be used to kill insect pests in stored wheat grains and canola seeds without damaging their product qualities We found out this project was much more challenging than we thought in terms of amount of work,…Read More

Read MoreA reverse-introgression and genomics strategy to develop and characterize chickpea germplasm for yield and climate-resilience traits
Chickpea is well known to have narrow genetic base, consequently, limits our ability to expand the cultivation of the crop into new environments such as western Canada, and limits our breeding effort to improve stress tolerance as well as other economically important traits Wild species of chickpea…Read More
