By sequencing gene expression
products produced by both the plant and pathogen early in the infection process we will catalogue processes implicated in the infection
process.

The Todd lab will be working directly with the NRC in establishing and standardizing protocols for Botrytis cineria infection of Cannabis
sativa.

Consumer electronics has broadened access to education and information and contributed to improve our quality
of life. Unfortunately, the pervasive expansion of electronics is generating an unsustainable growth of waste
electrical and electronic equipment that contains toxic substances imposing great pressure on the environment and
causing major health concerns. To alleviate the environmental footprint of electronics and to extend their capabilities
in emerging areas focusing on low human- and eco-toxicity, in this project we will design & develop devices based
on benign organic electronic materials and we will investigate the devices for their biodegradability with expected important outcomes in the Manufacturing, Information & Telecommunication Technology, Green Technology and Biomedical sectors.

L'évaluation de la performance environnementale d'un processus de transformation de matières résiduelles biosourcées repose sur un
ensemble de critères. Ces derniers doivent inclure non seulement les aspects spécifiquement reliés au procédé (consommation de
produits et d'énergie ainsi que les émissions) mais également les indicateurs associés à la diminution des impacts par la valorisation
des matières résiduelles (évitement de rejets et substitution de ressources). Dans ce contexte, les travaux prévus s'inscrivent dans
l'évaluation comparative des essais de traitement qui seront réalisés au CNRC sur une unité pilote de laboratoire. Il s’agira dans un
premier temps, de formaliser un modèle cohérent des processus unitaires et des flux matières/énergie mis en jeu par le système de
traitement facilitant la structuration des données associées aux différents essais. Dans un deuxième temps, il s’agira d’analyser les
relations entre les paramètres d’opération de l’unité pilote et les caractéristiques des produits et rejets générés lors des essais dans
une optique d’aide à la décision.

In support of this project, the Univ. of Saskatchewan laboratory will develop molecular tools to define seed quality, use a digital imaging-based system established by the NRC laboratory to phenotype seed germination and seedling growth, and provide assistance to the NRC lab on transcriptome analysis. This work will help to identify key factors for strong seed vigor and seedling establishment.

Composting technology is one of the environmental strategies of choice for the management of solid organic waste in cities: C40 City Zero Waste. When discarded, food, with its eco-packaging and new “green” electronic labels, is a particularly critical problem. Questions: are they compostable and can they all be thrown in our “brown bins”? An O2-CO2 respirometer will be used to answer these “fundamental” questions from a microbiological point of view and their eco-design.
