Grass Pea
2011
Grass pea (Lathyrus. sativus L.) is an annual legume crop with high protein content and remarkable resistance to extreme environmental conditions, including fl ooding, drought, salinity and low soil fertility, and a signifi cant degree of resistance to biotic stress agents. It is rightly considered one of the most promising sources of calories and protein for the vast and expanding populations of drought-prone and marginal areas of Asia and Africa and as an interesting alternative for cropping systems diversifi cation in marginal lands in Europe, Australia and America. It is a dual purpose crop with great agronomic potential as a grain and forage legume. Nevertheless, as a result of the lit…
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) application to the detection of mutations endowing herbicide resistance
2014
The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies offer tremendous possibilities for accurate detection of mutations endowing resistance. Yet, their use for this purpose has not emerged in crop protection. We aim at promoting NGS use for herbicide resistance diagnosis. In an exemplary study, we describe a simple procedure for this purpose, useable by virtually any scientist and implementing freely accessible programs for the analysis of NGS data. Three PCR amplicons encompassing seven codons of the ALS gene that are crucial for herbicide resistance were sequenced using non-quantified pools of crude DNA extracts from 40 plants in each of 28 field populations of two species of barnyard-grass:…

To resistance mechanisms and beyond: an evolutionary approach of herbicide resistance
2014
The diversity of herbicide resistance mechanisms observed today in weed populations is the result of a very rapid evolution in response to the selection pressure exerted by herbicide applications. Herbicide resistance is a dynamic process: weed populations are undoubtedly still continuing to evolve, so that the long-term outcome of herbicide selection is currently unpredictable. The vast majority of the studies addressing herbicide resistance published to date are focussed on the identification of mechanisms endowing resistance, with the applied aim to develop resistance diagnosis methods. Understanding resistance evolution is key to set up proactive weed management strategies that should i…

Les inhibiteurs de l’ALS en échec face à l’ambroisie à feuilles d’armoiseEn France, la résistance aux herbicides inhibiteurs de l’acétolactate-synthase (ALS) émerge chez l’ambroisie. Très utilisés car applicables sur la majorité des grandes cultures, ces produits phytosanitaires généralistes inhibent l’ALS, une enzyme clé des végétaux dans la synthèse d’acides aminés essentiels. Ils constituent la deuxième famille de désherbants la plus employée, et en paient le tribut : la résistance à cette classe d’herbicides a été identifiée dans plus de 160 espèces d’adventices, ou « mauvaises herbes ». Récemment rajoutée à cette liste, l’ambroisie à feuilles d’armoise (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) est une…

Choroidal thickness in glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects measured by spectral domain coherence optical tomography
2012
Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare retro-foveolar choroidal thickness (RFCT) of healthy subjects, individuals with intraocular hypertension, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).Methods: Sixty-five healthy eyes, 30 eyes with intraocular hypertension, 90 eyes with POAG, 30 eyes with NTG and 20 eyes with PACG were included in this cross-sectional study. RFCT, foveolar retinal thickness and average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) were measured by SD-OCT (Spectralis HRA-OCT, Heidelberg Engineer…
