Abstract:

ABSTRACT The consideration in Canada of risk analysis for microorganisms in food by the Health Protection Branch (HPB) is in its formative stage. These analyses have become necessary because of the need for better control of imported and domestically produced food. A working group has been established between Health Canada and Agriculture and Agrifood Canada to consider a joint approach to risk analysis for foodborne microbiological hazards. Within the Bureau of Microbial Hazards of the HPB four health-risk determinations have been initiated. Three of these are for broad categories of products: dairy, fish and shellfish, and meat and poultry. These are meant as background documents for more specific risk assessments. The fourth, on cracked eggs, is designed to give management options for the control of this commodity. These determinations are being developed as required and different approaches are being considered. The working group is in agreement that standard definitions of terms and methodologies need to be used, and that these should come from discussions with other national and international agencies and associations, such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Recommendations include the need both for risk analysis to provide a clear process for food control by government and industry, and for directed research and surveys to provide more information on the status of hazards at different stages of specific processes from preharvest to consumer handling.

Abstract:

Ukraine is located about at the latitude of France, the northern part of the United States and southern Canada and has similar to these countries natural conditions. Different in terms of soil and climate conditions, the regions of agriculture in Ukraine can be considered as analogues of similar natural conditions of agricultural areas in other parts of the world. Soils with a high carbon content are more productive and able to better filter and purify water. Water contained in the soil serves as a moisture source for 90% of world agricultural production. One of the main areas of research is the study of the ratios of main products and by-products of yield, as well as root and plant residues when having different soil fertility and using promising varieties and hybrids of crops. The use of optical express methods should be carried out according to the stages of organogenesis of field crops, which will enable to specify the relationships between them, to develop criteria and indicators for effective regulation of nitrogen and carbon cycle in the system "soil - plant - atmosphere", to develop models of formation and transformation of root and other plant residues taking into account changing agrometeorological factors, crop rotations, features of the branch structure of agricultural production, varieties and hybrids of field crops. In the future, this will enable to determine the areas in the selection aimed at accumulating root mass and achieving garanteed deficit-free balance of organic carbon in the soil. The research will enable to purposefully and effectively regulate the cycle of carbon and nitrogen, both at the level of individual agricultural production systems and on the scale of the same type of agricultural areas and regions, taking into account the whole set of variables, including features of the sectoral structure of production, climate change, etc.

Abstract:

A field isolate of Potato virus Y (PVY) was collected in New Brunswick, Canada in 2007 due to unusual symptoms observed on different potato cultivars. To unveil the PVY strain identity, tobacco and potato bioassays, PVYO and PVYN-specific antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based genotyping were carried out. All the assays demonstrated that the isolate, designated as PVYO-FL in this study, belonged to the PVYO strain group. Greenhouse tests with the potato cvs. FL 1533 and Jemseg confirmed the severe nature of infection by PVYO-FL. The complete genome sequences of PVYO-FL and PVYO-RB, the latter a mild PVYO isolate, were determined. BLAST analysis revealed that the two isolates shared 97 and 98% sequence identities at the nucleotide and polyprotein levels, respectively. Further BLAST analysis unveiled that PVYO-FL shared 99.7% nucleotide sequence identity with PVYO-Oz, an isolate reported in New York, United States, whereas the PVYO-RB isolate shared 99.2% sequence identity with PVYO-139, a PVYO isolate reported in New Brunswick, Canada. A phylogenetic tree of available, full-length sequences of PVY isolates demonstrated two subgroups within the PVYO branch, one clustered with PVYO-RB and the other with PVYO-FL. Group-specific sense primers for differentiation of the two subgroups were developed and evaluated. A limited survey of potato tubers collected from a field plot at the Potato Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, using the newly developed PCR primers, indicated that 65.3 and 2.4% of the PVYO-positive tubers were infected with PVYO isolates belonging to the PVYO-FL and PVYO-RB subgroups, respectively. Assessment of the pathogenicity of three representative isolates from each subgroup on the potato cv. Jemseg demonstrated that severe and mild symptoms were induced by the PVYO-FL-like and PVYO-RB-like isolates, respectively.

Abstract:

Without a doubt, roses have been and continue to be an important landscape and greenhouse plant. From the early records, dating back to Egyptian, Roman, and Greek times, roses have played an important societal role. Early attempts at growing roses in Prairie Canada were frequently unsuccessful. The extreme cold in winter, where temperatures of –30 to –40 °C are common, and droughts and heat in the summer greatly reduced the range of plant material, including roses that could be grown. As a result, the Morden Research Centre, part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Research Branch in southern Manitoba, initiated a series of projects on the development of hardy landscape plants including roses. Since1929, we have introduced over 130 new landscape plant cultivars to the nursery trade, including 18 cultivars of roses. One of the keys to the success of the program was the incorporation of cold tolerance originally obtained from Rosa arkansana, a prairie native. This has led to the development of the `Parkland' rose series. This group of plants flowers repeatedly, are hardy to USDA zone 3, root from softwood cuttings, and are available in a variety of colors. Highlights of these will be presented. More recently, emphasis has been placed on developing breeding strategies to improve disease resistance. Major diseases affecting roses include black spot (Diplocarpon rosea), powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca pannosa), and rust (Phragmidium sp.). Details of the current breeding protocols will be outlined as well as results from a series of trials established to elucidate the influence of environment and genotype on disease expression. Cooperative disease monitoring trials (Canada and Sweden) were established and results will be presented.

Abstract:

Prostrate growth habit (PGH) in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) lines derived from breeding material developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Beaverlodge, Alberta, was the subject of a quantitative inheritance study. Plants with PGH have an increased lateral branch angle, relative to upright plants, and crown-set fruit supported above the soil surface making hand harvest easier. Genetic parameters were estimated in two families (20G and 53G), each containing PGH and upright-habit parental lines, F1, F2, and backcrosses to each parent. Field-grown plants were subjectively rated twice during the growing season. Broad-sense heritability of PGH in family 20G was estimated to be 0.65 and 0.71 for ratings of plant growth habit 6 and 9 weeks after transplanting, respectively, and 0.71 and 0.68 for those of family 53G. Narrow-sense heritability was estimated to be 0.83 and 1.05 for the two ratings in the 20G family and 0.77 and 0.78 in the 53G family. F1 and F2 means were not different from mid-parent values. The genetic variance was entirely additive and expression was influenced by the environment. The data did not support the hypothesis that PGH was controlled by a single gene.

Abstract:

During February 2004, diseased double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) plants were received from a commercial grower in southern California. The upper surfaces of symptomatic leaves were pale yellow with no distinct lesions. Diseased leaves later wilted, and severely affected leaves abscised from the stem. At the nursery, only double impatiens plants in the Fiesta series were infected, and some cultivars were more heavily infected than others. Disease incidence in cv. Sparkler Hot pink was nearly 100%. The interior of infected leaves was colonized by coenocytic mycelium. A conspicuous white growth was observed only on the underside of leaves. Sporangiophores were hyaline, thin walled, emergent from stomata, and had slightly swollen bases. Sporangiophore branching was distinctly monopodial. Smaller sporangiophore branches were arranged at right angles to the supporting branches, and tips of branches measured 8 to 14 μm long. Sporangia were ovoid and hyaline with a single pore on the distal ends. Distal ends of sporangia were predominantly flat but occasionally had a slight papilla. Short pedicels were present on the attached ends. Sporangia measured 19.4 to 22.2 (-25.0) μm × 13.9 to 16.7 (-19.4) μm. Oospores were not observed in leaf tissue. On the basis of symptoms and morphology of the organism, the pathogen was identified as Plasmopara obducens J. Schröt. Pathogenicity tests were done on double type cvs. Fiesta, Tioga Red, and Tioga Cherry Red and on single type cvs. Cajun Watermelon and Accent Lilac. Plants were spray inoculated with sporangiospore suspensions (1 × 104 sporangiospores per milliliter), incubated for 24 h in a dew chamber (18 to 20°C), and then maintained in a greenhouse (22 to 24°C). Symptoms and signs of downy mildew developed after 12 days only on inoculated cv. Fiesta plants, and the pathogen morphology matched that of the originally observed pathogen. Nontreated control plants did not develop downy mildew. To our knowledge, this is the first report of downy mildew on impatiens in California. P. obducens is one of two causal agents of downy mildew of impatiens (2,4). The other pathogen, Bremiella sphaerosperma, has dichotomous sporangiophore branching and causes lesions with well-defined margins (2,4). In the United States, the disease has been recorded in the eastern and northeastern states and in Indiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, and Wisconsin (3). In Canada, the disease has been recorded in Manitoba and Quebec (1). References: (1) I. L. Conners.

Abstract:

One hundred ninety clonal accessions of Corylus, including species and various interspecific hybrids of C. avellana, C. americana, C. heterophylla, C. colurna, and C. fargesii, were assessed for their response to field exposure to the eastern filbert blight (EFB) pathogen, Anisogramma anomala, in New Jersey, where the fungus is native. Plants were obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service National Clonal Germplasm Repository and Oregon State University, the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and the National Arbor Day Foundation. Additional plant material was acquired from the Morris and Holden Arboreta and from private nurseries in Amherst, NY, and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. The accessions were chosen based on their resistance to EFB in Oregon, a region where A. anomala is not native, or anecdotal reports and grower observations of tolerance or resistance to the disease. Trees were planted in the field from 2002 through 2009 in New Jersey where they were exposed to EFB yearly through field inoculations and natural spread. In Jan. 2012, they were visually evaluated for the presence of EFB. The cankers were measured, and the proportion of diseased wood was calculated for susceptible trees. Nearly all accessions reported to be resistant to EFB in Oregon maintained at least a useful level of tolerance in New Jersey with a number remaining free of cankers. However, several accessions developed small to medium-sized cankers and showed branch dieback, including offspring of C. avellana ‘Gasaway’. Most C. americana and C. heterophylla accessions remained free of EFB, although variation in EFB response was found in hybrids of these species with C. avellana, ranging from no signs or symptoms to severe EFB. Nearly half of the C. colurna × C. avellana hybrids developed cankers, whereas each of the C. fargesii accessions and most grower selections developed in eastern North America remained free of EFB. The results document the existence of a wide diversity of Corylus germplasm that expresses resistance or a high level of tolerance to EFB in New Jersey and confirms previous reports that C. americana is highly resistant to the disease. Interestingly, most C. heterophylla and the C. fargesii were also found to be resistant despite originating in Asia where A. anomala has not been found. The various interspecific hybrids show the potential for incorporating EFB resistance from wild species through breeding. The results provide further evidence of differences in disease expression in Oregon and New Jersey, where isolates differ and disease pressure may be higher.

Abstract:

Gray mold caused by Botrytis spp. is one of the most economically important diseases of cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) worldwide. From April to June 2011, strawberries with symptoms resembling gray mold disease were collected from different locations (Chesnee, Florence, Lexington, McBee, Monetta, and North Augusta) in South Carolina. Fruit infections began as small, firm, light brown lesions that enlarged quickly, becoming covered with a gray, fuzzy mass of spores followed by a soft rot. To isolate the causal agent, spores from symptomatic fruit were suspended in 1% Tween 20, streaked onto the surface of potato dextrose agar plates, and incubated at 22°C. Fungal colonies from single spores were at first colorless and later became gray to brown when the conidiphores and conidia developed. Conidia were identified by their morphological characteristics: an average size of 14 × 9 μm, ellipsoid to rounded without internal structure, and with a scar on the point of union to the conidiophore (1). Sclerotia produced in culture were hard, dark, irregular shaped, and formed after 2 weeks. The pathogen was identified as Botrytis cinerea Pers.: on the basis of morphology and confirmed by a restriction digest with ApoI of the 413-kb PCR amplification product obtained with BA2f/BA1r primers (2). Koch's postulates were conducted by inoculating 10 surface-sterilized strawberries with a conidial suspension (105 spores/ml) of a randomly chosen B. cinerea isolate previously characterized; 10 control fruit received sterile water without conidia. The inoculated fruit were incubated for 3 days at room temperature in air-tight plastic bags. Inoculated fruit developed typical gray mold symptoms with gray sporulating lesions. The developing spores on inoculated fruit were confirmed to be B. cinerea. All control fruit remained healthy. For many Botrytis spp., the internal transcribed spacer region does not reveal nucleotide variations and thus is useless for species identification. We used additional, more appropriate genetic markers for molecular-based species identification and verified that strawberries in South Carolina are affected by gray mold disease caused by B. cinerea. To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of B. cinerea causing gray mold of strawberry in South Carolina. References: (1) W. R. Jarvis.

Abstract:

A case study of innovation in organic agriculture in Ontario, Canada, illustrates the merits of multiscaled analysis as a tool to identify relevant policy options for the European Union and North America. Policy recommendations that emerged from interviews included the need to: develop and reinforce local networks and associational capacity; address inequities that result from global subsidies; and develop national research funding and standards to support organics. These policy changes would provide production and marketing alternatives, making the sector more resilient. Theoretically, the research highlights the dynamic and interconnected facets of innovation and the need for multiscaled analysis to capture interscale linkages.

Full text

Abstract:

A marginal farm can be defined by three criteria : the amount of improved land, the amount of time spent by the operator off the farm, and the absolute and relative income derived from agriculture. Both human and physical factors explain the deficiencies of marginal agriculture in the study area. The settlers' lack of agricultural experience, improper agricultural specializations, and the small size of the parcels of improved land (and consequently of the cattle herds) are the important human factors. The main physical limitations are climatic (especially the cool summer temperatures and the short length of the frost-free period), and pedologic. More research is needed before political decisions can be made concerning the future of these areas of marginal agriculture. Surveys of the marginal farms and studies of the physical limitations to agriculture should be made not only by economists and pedologists, but also by geographers.

Abstract:

Abstract This special issue of the Water Pollution Research Journal of Canada highlights some of the recent work of the Water Quality Branch, Environment Canada. The Water Quality Branch operates out of regional offices located in Moncton, New Brunswick; Longueuil, Quebec; Burlington, Ontario; Regina, Saskatchewan, and Vancouver, British Columbia. Many of the issues and problems regarding water quality in Canada are not common to all regions, this is reflected in the diversity amongst the papers that are presented. Water Quality Branch activities range from broad and philosophical water quality considerations to studies of specific basins where water quality problems exist. This special issue consists of papers which touch on a number of these interests. The first two papers consider the design of water quality networks. Two papers consider water quality objectives as a management tool; developing guidelines for pesticides, and developing effective monitoring programs for objectives. Several papers consider problems associated with temporal variations: temporal patterns of acidification in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, trends in water quality of the St. Lawrence, phosphorus variability in the Flathead River, and changes over time in the St. Croix River. The remaining papers report specific pieces of work reflecting novel methods or procedures: large volume extractors, organic contaminants in suspended sediments, contaminants in water and suspended sediments, and contaminants in surficial sediments. On behalf of the Water Quality Branch, we would like to thank the authors for their contributions to this special issue of the Journal. We would also like to thank the many colleagues who joined with Water Quality Branch staff to review the papers. Special thanks are extended to external reviewers who contributed much to the quality of the papers presented.

This paper summarizes the population trends as well as research and management programs for woodland caribou {Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Yukon. Most herds are stable although not all are counted regularly and systematic monitoring of herds remains an essential need. Over the past decade the Southern Lakes, Aishihik, and Finlayson herds have been well studied and provide valuable models for guiding Yukon management programs. Over harvest and the spread of agriculture, forestry and mining are ongoing human activities are of concern to caribou managers.

Full text

Abstract:

Agriculture is practiced on 3–4 million acres of First Nations reserve lands in the Saskatchewan Prairies—predominantly by non-Indigenous farmers. A confluence of factors including an increase in agricultural land holdings on reserve and greater autonomy in land management have renewed conversations on how First Nations can realize the full economic benefits and exert greater control over agricultural activities that affect the reserve land base. We hosted a Forum on Indigenous Agriculture to share current knowledge on the contemporary status of Indigenous agriculture and to co-formulate research, capacity building, and policy priorities. First Nations’ roles in agriculture are diverse and were categorized in three broad contexts: as farmers, relying on traditional Indigenous or western practice, or a synergy of both; as landlords negotiating lease agreements; and as agribusiness entrepreneurs. Five themes emerged from the forum: centring Indigenous knowledge and traditional relationships to the land, capacity building, building respectful partnerships and relationships, financing farming and equitable economies, and translating research to policy and legislation. The forum provided foundational data to inform research and capacity building to meet community-defined goals in agriculture on reserve lands and by First Nations people.
