La pectine et la cellulose pourraient jouer un r么le dans le m茅canisme mol茅culaire r茅gissant la morphologie des cellules v茅g茅tales
En d茅couvrant la m茅canique et le m茅canisme mol茅culaire qui dictent la forme des cellules v茅g茅tales, une 茅quipe de chercheurs de l鈥橴niversit茅 69热视频 a partiellement lev茅 le voile sur les processus fondamentaux qui r茅gissent la formation des tissus dans les organismes multicellulaires.
New study suggests pectin and cellulose involved in molecular mechanism defining plant cell morphology
The discovery of the mechanics and molecular mechanism that dictate cell shape formation in plants by a team of 69热视频 researchers offers new clues about the fundamental processes governing tissue formation in multicellular organisms.
Plants are made of cells that come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, each of which is closely related and essential to the function of a specific tissue.
St茅phanie B茅langer-Naud est devenue la meilleure b没cheronne au Canada, le 27 juillet dernier, en remportant le championnat canadien Stihl Timbersport 脿 Mississauga, en Ontario.
Le championnat comporte trois 茅preuves qui consistent 脿 couper de larges billots de bois avec des scies diff茅rentes ou 脿 la hache, et ce, le plus rapidement possible. Le pointage cumul茅 脿 la fin de la comp茅tition d茅terminait la grande gagnante parmi les six b没cheronnes participantes.

Congratulations to Dr. Pierre Lacasse, an Adjunct Professor in Animal Science, who has been made a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS) in a recent annual meeting in Austin, Texas. The fellowship is awarded to CSAS members for truly outstanding contributions in any field of animal agriculture. Dr. Lacasse is a research scientist in Sherbrooke Research and Development Centre, AAFC.
Hanadi Sleiman and Jaswinder Singh have each received $1.65 million in research grants, to be distributed over six years.
Congratulations to NRS professor Joann Whalen who has been made a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Soil Science (CSSS). The Award is for members with a distinguished record of accomplishment in soil science & service to the CSSS.

Boil-water advisory remains in effect at Macdonald Campus
As we mentioned in an earlier message, a boil-water advisory is in effect across Macdonald and John Abbott Campus. It will remain in effect for at least another 48 hours.
The advisory does not apply to the staff residences located on Maple St., Macdonald High School nor the rest of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, as these locations obtain their water from a different source.
Congratulations to Bioresource professor Chandra Madramootoo, who was recently made a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.

Congratulations to NRS professor Joann Whalen, who was recently awarded the Auguste Scott prize given by the Association quebecoise de specialistes en science du sol (AQSSS). Other professors who won it previously were Dr. Gus Mackenzie and Dr. Guy Mehuys. The prize is awarded for outstanding contributions to the field of soil science.
Today [June 20], Iain Stewart, President of the National Research Council, Canada's largest federal research and development organization, announced the results of the inaugural round of the NRC鈥檚 New Beginnings Initiative. The New Beginnings Initiative is part of the NRC鈥檚 Ideation Fund, which was announced in Budget 2018 to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by NRC researchers working with external collaborators.
... The projects with 69热视频 collaborators and associated funding amounts include:
If you've been out in the Laurentians or the Eastern Townships lately, you may have noticed there've been a lot of flies - notably bigger varieties known as flesh flies. 聽
They have been seen invading those communities to the point where some restaurants had to shut down their terrasses and residents can't enjoy their backyards.
"Flesh fly - the name is a little bit scary," said Stephanie Boucher, curator of the Lyman Entomological Museum and Research Laboratory at 69热视频.
On June 14 in Victoria, British Columbia, the Honourable , Minister of Science and Sport, announced an investment of over $275 million for 346 new and renewed Canada Research Chairs at 52 institutions across Canada. The also made an important investment towards these Chairs in providing more than $5.2 million in new funding for research infrastructure, supporting 30 Chairs at 18 institutions.
Concerns they might be contaminated with norovirus, a highly contagious virus that continues that causes gastroenteritis.
Quebec recalled frozen raspberries imported from Chile this week over concerns they might be contaminated with norovirus.
The norovirus is a highly contagious virus that continues to thrive when frozen and causes gastroenteritis, which manifests itself with diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. The symptoms develop between 12 and 24 hours after exposure.
