Qualité et performance de plants de Douglas soumis à différentes contraintes hydriques
1999
An experiment was carried out on 12 Douglas fir seedlings lots that were 3 years old and had all originated from the same seed lot. Treatments consisted in combining stock type with three different height to diameter ratios, storage duration and method (long at 2°C or short in various conditions), and protection from desiccation (by bagging or not). Seedling lots were assessed at planting by root electrolyte leakage (REL), root moisture content (RMC) and predawn shoot water potential (Ywp). They were planted simultaneously in well-watered or water-stressed conditions. Performance level was based on survival and height growth at the end of the growing season. Slender seedlings not bagged had…
Correlating stress and somatic embryogenesis for NBT: myth or reality?
2018
Global warming and growing demography have increased demand for agronomic resources, leading to increasing lack of land suitable for agriculture and provoking several abiotic stresses which, added to biotic ones, result in physiological and metabolic disorders that impact on crop yield when most needed. Reducing this impact is a major scientific and agronomic challenge and biotechnology would be an efficient alternative. However, to reduce risks of somaclonal variation among regenerants it is better to produce them by somatic embryogenesis directly from explants or gametes, or indirectly from callus or cell suspensions. Thus, globular embryos regenerate and develop through to the heart, tor…
Developing fall-sown pea cultivars as an answer to the challenges of climatic changes
2012
Chapitre 4; International audience; Pea is considered rather well adapted to wide temperature ranges, with seedlings able to survive even -20 °C. From a physiological viewpoint, pea becomes tolerant to frost if first exposed to low non-freezing temperatures, causing the so-called cold acclimation. Delayed floral initiation helps some forage pea genotypes to escape the main winter freezing periods, as susceptibility to frost increases during the transition to the reproductive state. The oldest winter pea cultivars carry the dominant allele, Hr, although some bear hr. They are generally characterized by prominent winter hardiness and a long growing season, from sowing in early October until e…
Comment le mode de nutrition azotée influence-t-il le prélèvement, le stockage et la remobilisation des nutriments en conditions hydriques fluctuante…
2019
National audience; Pea seeds have interesting nutritional properties through their protein, vitamin and mineral contents. However, environmental conditions such as soil water availability during plant growth influence both final yield and seed quality in pea. Soil water conditions not only modulates pea nitrogen acquisition whatever the mode of nitrogen nutrition: mineral nitrogen acquisition by roots and atmospheric di-nitrogen fixation by nodules in interaction with rhizobia, but also the overall plant mineral nutrition. The aim of this study is to get a better understanding of soil water deficit impact on nutrient acquisition, storage and distribution inside the plant according to the mo…
Challenges and opportunities for innovative research on legume nutrition and stress adaptation: an ecophysiologist’s and phenotyping point of view
2019
International audience; Agroecology needs to reconcile agronomy and ecology, preserving and valorizing plant and microbe biodiversity. Legumes have merits for agroecology considering their ecological services. They constitute a protein source and their production relocation give merits for feed and food. However, they are still under represented due to both biotic and abiotic constraints. Research need to increase their profitability through higher and more stable yield and protein content, and new uses in a fluctuating environment [2]. Mechanisms which control nutrient use efficiency have to be highlighted i) considering nutrient acquisition, storage, remobilization [3] ii) under various c…
Pois protéagineux : cheminement de la recherche génétique pour la sélection des paramètres à prendre en compte pour l’amélioration de la stabilité du…
2013
Field Pea: development of genetic research for the selection of parameters to take into account to improve yield stability. Legumes were essential in rotations in the past, but they fell off during the 20th century. Maybe they will come back into favour in the 21st century thanks to its economy, agri-environment and food assets. Field Pea is the main crop of this family in France, but it remains underdeveloped because its unstable yield does not enable the farmers to ensure their income security. Therefore researchers should focus on yield stability. Modelling Pea remains difficult because of its indeterminate development. Parameters to take into account are many and their significance must…
Studying the interplay between sulfur nutrition and water stress tolerance in pea by proteomics : a focus on seed development and composition
2019
International audience; Water stress and sulfur-deficiency are two constraints increasingly faced by crops due to climatechange and low-input practices. To investigate their interplay in the grain legume pea (Pisum sativumL.), sulfate was depleted at mid-vegetative stage and a moderate 9-day water stress period was imposedduring the early reproductive phase. The combined stress accelerated seed production, lowering yield,one-seed weight and seed number per plant, but rebalanced seed protein composition. In fact, themoderate water stress mitigated the negative effect of sulfur-deficiency on the accumulation of sulfurrichproteins in seeds, probably due to a lower seed sink strength for nitrog…

Changes in the pea seed proteome in response to drought combined with sulfur deficiency
2017
EABAPGEAPSI DOCT INRA; Pea (Pisum sativum L.) produces seeds rich in proteins, but seed yield and quality remain unstable across years due to abiotic stresses occurring during the reproductive period. Drought and sulfur deficiency are two abiotic stresses that interact in the current context of climate change and lowinput practices, and recent studies suggest a role of sulfate transport and metabolism in the plant response to drought (Ernst et al., 2010; Chan et al., 2013; Gallardo et al., 2014; Ahmad et al., 2016). In this study, we investigated the impact of sulfur deficiency combined with drought on the pea seed proteome. Pea plants were subjected to sulfur-deficiency two weeks after sow…
Le réchauffement climatique diminue-t-il le risque de dégâts par le gel pour les cultures de climat tempéré ?
2014
Does global warming reduce the freezing injury risk to temperate climate crops? Winter crop response to a temperature increase is complex. Recent works point out, for cold climate vegetation, a paradoxical increase in freezing injury in a warming climate. Complementary works are needed to support these results for winter crops in temperate areas. To achieve this goal, five climatic records spanning a fifty years-long period for both daily minimum and maximum temperatures were analyzed with a model predicting frost hardiness and freezing damage for the winter pea crop. The methodological approach was based on three main steps: 1) the climate warming analysis of the 1987/1988 temperature shif…
