Confrontation of cryptic diversity and mate discrimination within Gammarus pulex and Gammarus fossarum species complexes.
2014
16 pages; International audience; Freshwater amphipods Gammarus fossarum and Gammarus pulex are widespread in Europe, with some evidence of cryptic diversity in the former. We used DNA barcoding to assess genetic diversity within and among amphipod populations and examined mate discrimination and pre-copulatory pair formation between genetically divergent individuals. Eight distinct G. fossarum and four distinct G. pulex molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) were detected. Among the 33 amphipod populations sampled, 11 contained a single MOTU, 11 had two and 11 were composed of three sympatric MOTUs. Genetic divergences between sympatric MOTUs (G. fossarum and G. pulex MOTUs combined…

La gestion des betteraves adventices résistantes à un herbicide: une approche par simulation
2007
National audience; Les variétés de betteraves sucrières génétiquement modifiées (GM) résistantes à un herbicide sont, a priori, intéressantes dans des champs fortement infestés par la betterave adventice. Cependant, la montée à fleurs de ces betteraves GM peut entraîner l’apparition d’individus résistants, via la dispersion de pollen. Nous avons développé et utilisé le modèle GENESYS-Betterave pour simuler, à l’échelle d’une petite région agricole, l’impact des pratiques culturales sur la dispersion du transgène. Il permet d'identifier des stratégies pour contrôler les adventices et limiter l'apparition de populations résistantes en zone de production de betterave sucrière. L’utilisation de…
Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae genotypes interact with pea plants in developmental responses of nodules roots and shoots
2007
International audience; The variability of the developmental responses of two contrasting cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum) was studied in relation to the genetic diversity of their nitrogen-fixing symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae. A sample of 42 strains of pea rhizobia was chosen to represent 17 genotypes predominating in indigenous rhizobial populations, the genotypes being defined by the combination of haplotypes characterized with rDNA intergenic spacer and nodD gene regions as markers. We found contrasting effects of the bacterial genotype, especially the nod gene type, on the development of nodules, roots and shoots. A bacterial nod gene type was identified that induced very…
Inactivation of PadR, the repressor of the phenolic acid stress response, by molecular interaction with Usp1, a universal stress protein from Lactoba…
2009
ABSTRACT The phenolic acid decarboxylase gene padA is involved in the phenolic acid stress response (PASR) in gram-positive bacteria. In Lactobacillus plantarum , the padR gene encodes the negative transcriptional regulator of padA and is cotranscribed with a downstream gene, usp1 , which encodes a putative universal stress protein (USP), Usp1, of unknown function. The usp1 gene is overexpressed during the PASR. However, the role and the mechanism of action of the USPs are unknown in gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, to gain insights into the role of USPs in the PASR; (i) a usp1 deletion mutant was constructed; (ii) the two genes padR and usp1 were coexpressed with padA under its own promo…
Impact of deoxynivalenol on soil microflora and fauna
2012
F. graminearum is an important pathogen that causes head blight of cereal crops as wheat and maize. It also produces the mycotoxins (as Deoxynivalenol=DON) which are toxic to the human and animals. During the off season the pathogen survives in the soil, on weeds and in crop residues. A 24 weeks study was conducted in controlled conditions (microcosms of natural soil, 17 °C, 80% WHC) to test whether the presence of DON in the wheat crop residues gives competitive advantage to F. graminearum over the other soil microflora and fauna to survive and develop a primary inoculum during the decomposition process. This study was carried out in the presence of the whole soil biota (i.e. fungi, bacter…
Étude du développement saprophyte de [i]F. graminearum[/i] champignon pathogène du blé et producteur de mycotoxines
2009
SPE affiche, résumé; Troisième plante cultivée au monde derrière le maïs et le riz, première en ce qui concerne les échanges commerciaux, le blé est l’un des aliments prépondérants en production animale et les produits issus de sa transformation sont à la base de l’alimentation humaine. La fusariose est l’une des principales pathologies fongiques touchant les cultures de blé : elle provoque notamment un dessèchement des épis touchés. Un « pool » de champignons appartenant aux genres Fusarium et Microdochium est responsable de cette maladie. Celle-ci est connue depuis longtemps puisque F. graminearum, l’agent principal de la pathologie, a été décrit en 1839 (Schwabe, Flora Anhaltina 2). Outr…

Acalculous cholecystitis in a patient with plasmodium falciparum malaria and cytomegalovirus infection
2017
Acalculous cholecystitis is a syndrome of gallbladder inflammation without gallstones, recognized within the setting of critically ill patients. Acalculous cholecystitis associated with infectious agents is reported in the literature to be rare. Herein we describe a case of acalculous cholecystitis in a patient with malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and apparent cytomegalovirus infection, and discuss the possible role of CMV in the pathogenesis of acalculous cholecystitis in patients with malaria.
