平特五不中

Jaswinder Singh can hardly contain his excitement when talking about TLP8, a useful protein he discovered in barley. 鈥淚t could revolutionize the brewing industry,鈥� said the associate professor at 平特五不中鈥檚 plant science department.

...Singh and his research team identified 22 genes in barley that were related to the germination process.

Researchers from 平特五不中 (Paul Thomassin) found that if Canadians ate less meat, and more fruits and vegetables, Canada's GDP would benefit. The authors recommended the government subsidize fruits and vegetables, and tax meat, in an effort to reduce chronic disease.

Congratulations to alum Val茅rie Toupin-Dub茅, BSc (AgEnvSci)鈥�16, recipient of the Canada鈥檚 Volunteer Awards鈥� Emerging Leader Award for the Quebec region!

鈥淢y village, Oka, has left a deep agricultural imprint on me. It formed my desire to bridge the gap between consumers and the hard-working farmers who provide us with three meals a day. As an agronomist, my commitment to children and families is to teach them where their food comes from so that they can consume better and live in a community that is more tightly knit and respectful of the environment.鈥�

Congratulations to Jan Adamowski (Bioresource Engineering) and Elena Bennett (Natural Resource Sciences) on their induction into the Royal Society of Canada. The announcement was made in September, and the induction ceremony was held in late November.
