| I am simple guy (almost). I like to do a variety of activities in my free time including chillin with my friends, going to parties and driving around with people. I am a member of the Environmental Sustainability Committee in my school. I plan to get involved many school activities next year. I like to travel to Europe and Asia and backpack for months. I will do that probably in the summer. I do not play in any sport’s team but I am fairly good at basketball, football and cricket. I love people with a good sense of humor. I have really bad grammar and use words and tend to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I am not that religious but try to work according to my faith. I always want to be close to perfect and work hard for things I aim for. |

Analysis of PL reductase and level of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside in flax
| Division: | Biotechnology / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Manitoba Schools Science Symposium | | City: | Winnipeg, MB | | School: | Fort Richmond Collegiate | | Abstract: | The primary lignan in flax is Secoisolariciresinol and exists as a diglucoside compound (SDG), which is synthesized through pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductase enzyme. Two isoforms of this gene were isolated and sequenced. Five significant polymorphisms affect the functionality of the enzyme were identified in a flax world collection. SDG levels were measured in 10 flax accessions with different polymorphisms and significant changes in lignan content were observed. |
