Direct seeding mulch-based cropping increases both the activity and the abundance of denitrifier communities in a tropical soil
2009
International audience; This study evaluated the impact of direct seeding mulch-based cropping (DMC), as an alternative to conventional tilling (CT), on a functional community involved in N cycling and emission of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). The study was carried out for annual soybean/rice crop rotation in the Highlands of Madagascar. The differences between the two soil management strategies (direct seeding with mulched crop residues versus tillage without incorporation of crop residues) were studied along a fertilization gradient (no fertilizer, organic fertilizer, organic plus mineral fertilizers). The activity and size of the denitrifier community were determined by denitrifica…
Genotypic characterization of Bradyrhizobium strains nodulating small Senegalese legumes by 16S-23S rRNA intergenic gene spacers and amplified fragme…
2000
ABSTRACT We examined the genotypic diversity of 64 Bradyrhizobium strains isolated from nodules from 27 native leguminous plant species in Senegal (West Africa) belonging to the genera Abrus , Alysicarpus , Bryaspis , Chamaecrista , Cassia , Crotalaria , Desmodium , Eriosema , Indigofera , Moghania , Rhynchosia , Sesbania , Tephrosia , and Zornia , which play an ecological role and have agronomic potential in arid regions. The strains were characterized by intergenic spacer (between 16S and 23S rRNA genes) PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (IGS PCR-RFLP) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting analyses. Fifty-three reference strains of the different B…
Grain legume seed filling in relation to nitrogen acquisition: A review and prospects with particular reference to pea
2001
International audience; Seed filling depends not only on the instantaneous supply of C and N, but also on their remobilisation from vegetative organs. C supply during seed filling depends mostly on current photosynthesis, but N assimilation and N$_2$ fixation decline during seed filling, with newly acquired N generally insufficient for the high seed demand. As seeds are strong sinks for mobilised nutrients, seed growth becomes metabolically closely associated with N remobilisation. N remobilisation from vegetative tissues to filling seeds interacts with photosynthesis since it induces senescence, which reduces the seed filling period. Hence improved grain legume seed filling requires either…
Effect of inoculation with selected Bradyrhizobium spp. on the survival and growth of Acacia mangium saplings after 20 months in the field
1999
This work was designed to test the long-term effect of the inoculation of #Acacia mangium# seedlings with 10 selected strains of #Bradyrhizobium spp.#. The percentage of survival of seedlings inoculated with any of the #Bradyrhizobium# strains was increased by 10% as compared to the control plants. However, out of the 10 #Bradyrhizobium# strains tested, only 3 strains, Aust l3c, Lu 4 and Tel 8, belonging to the phylogenelic group 1, significandy enhanced the growth of #A. mangium# after 20 months in the field. For the first time, inoculation with indigenous Malaysian strains #Bradyrhizobium# such as Tel 8 and Lu 4 at the seedling stage is reported to produce enhanced and sustained growth an…
Etude du rôle du monoxyde d’azote (NO) dans la réponse du transcriptome d’Arabidopsis thaliana aux oligogalacturonides, un éliciteur des réactions de…
2012
SPEIPM; International audience; Le monoxyde d’azote (NO) est capable de réguler chez les plantes de nombreux processus physiologiques dont les réponses des plantes aux pathogènes. Peu d’informations sont disponibles aujourd’hui sur les mécanismes expliquant le rôle du NO endogène dans ce contexte physiologique. Grâce à une étude transcriptomique, nous avons caractérisé chez Arabidopsis thaliana, des gènes cibles du NO produit en réponse à un éliciteur des réactions de défense, les oligogalacturonides (OG). L’analyse a permis d’identifier parmi ces gènes cibles, un nombre important de gènes impliqués dans les réponses aux stress biotiques tels que des facteurs de transcription ou des protéin…
Analysing and modelling the effect of nitrogen competition in weed regulation.
2020
Reducing the use of herbicide and mineral fertilizers is crucial to develop sustainable cropping systems. Such changes might result in an increased weed flora as well as intensify competition for resources, particularly nitrogen, between crops and weeds. The aim of this thesis was to analyze and model (via the mechanistic crop model FLORSYS) the key processes underlying nitrogen competition, in order to determine if changes in nitrogen fertilization techniques and cultivar choice could promote biological weed regulation.At the beginning of the thesis, the FLORSYS model (which simulates the effects of cropping systems in interaction with pedoclimate on weed dynamics) only included light comp…
Cyclodextrines confinantes : synthèse, propriétés complexantes et utilisation en catalyse asymétrique
2014
This manuscript is concerned with the design of novel catalytic systems derived from metallocyclodextrins. The first part describes new ways of functionalising the cyclodextrin primary face regioselectively for accessing inherently chiral P,P’ chelators. These heterodentate ligands gavequantitatively cis-chelate complexes with various d8 cations. Their rhodium(I) complexes were assessed in the asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation of prochiral olefins. Thecoordination and catalytic properties of two phosphines derived from a- and b-cyclodextrin are also reported. With their phosphorus lone pair pointing toward the CD core, these confining ligands force the coordinated metal centre t…
Effect of nitrogen nutrition on Medicago truncatula resistance against Aphanomyces euteiches
2016
Nitrogen (N) is a major limiting factor for plant growth. N availability can also impact plant resistance to pathogens by regulating plant immunity. To better understand the links between N nutrition and plant defense, we analyzed the impact of N availability of plant on Medicago truncatula resistance to the root pathogen, Aphanomyces euteiches, taking into account plant genetic variability. This oomycete is considered as the most limiting factor for legume production. Two conditions of N nutrition, non-limiting or deprived in N, and ten plant genotypes were tested in vitro. The results showed that the resistance is modulated by nutritional conditions, depending on plant genotype. Analysis …

Importance de la variabilité génétique bactérienne sur le fonctionnement de la symbiose Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae avec le pois (Pisum sat…
2008
Les irrégularités de rendement et de teneur en protéine des graines que présente la culture du pois sont, en partie, liées à des problèmes de nutrition azotée. En tant que légumineuse, la nutrition azotée du pois repose à la fois sur la fixation symbiotique de l’azote atmosphérique et sur l’absorption racinaire des nitrates du sol. Notre principal objectif a été de déterminer si le partenaire bactérien, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv), peut être un facteur limitant de la nutrition azotée et du rendement du pois. La variabilité génétique des Rlv et les facteurs influençant la structure des populations de Rlv à l'état libre et symbiotiques ont été étudiés. La signification de la d…
