Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cyclaminis: Identification of specific molecular markers for improved disease prevention

2014

Fusarium oxysporum is a well-known soil-borne and ubiquitous fungus. The species includes a high diversity of saprophytic and pathogenic populations. The phytopathogenic ones are subdivided into formae speciales according to their host specificity. The forma specialis cyclaminis (FoCy) is causing Fusarium wilt only on cyclamen. It causes damages during the entire production line and can raise more than 50 % losses. FoCy is considered as the more destructive pathogen on cyclamen. To achieve a better understanding of the disease and a more efficient and eco-friendly way of control, we aim at finding a specific molecular marker allowing for early detection and quantification of the pathogen an…

Population genetics on Ambrosia genus: past, present and future

2014

National audience; A new Task Force within the COST-SMARTER has recently been created. This group is composed of population genetics experts from five European countries in charge of focusing on “Genetics on Ambrosia” (Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden). Their mission was to review molecular methods used in published genetics studies on common ragweed and to discuss about future projects. Two different types of molecular markers are generally used in the literature to investigate the genetic structure within and between introduced and/or native populations of common ragweed: microsatellite markers and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). These methods permit the researcher…

Genetic diversity of Tuber aestivum / uncinatum

2012

SPE IPM CT2 (vu VM)SPEIPMCT2 (vu VM); Tuber aestivum and Tuber uncinatum share a complicated common history from a taxonomic point of view. Indeed, different previous studies have shown contradictory conclusions. For some authors, Tuber aestivum and Tuber uncinatum are a single species and for others, they are two different species. In another study, we used 9 molecular markers: ITS1, ITS2, nuSSU, nuLSU, mtLSU, mtSSU, EF1α, β-tubulin and RPB2. The results show some genetic differences between samples for some of the analyzed sequences. However, no genetic differentiation that would support the separation of two different species was observed. We have concluded that Tuber aestivum and Tuber …

Identification of functional markers of mycorrhiza efficiency in vineyard

2021

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form a mutualistic symbiotic association with more than 80% ofland plants, including vines. Advantages of this mutualistic symbiosis are countless. Rootcolonisation by mycorrhizal fungi is mainly evaluated through staining and microscopicobservation. However those technics do not allow to differentiate different mycorrhizal fungi.In order to overcome those limits other tools, like antibodies, isoenzymes and molecular biologytechnics, can be used. Nevertheless, all of these methods “only” allow detection of the presenceof mycorrhizal fungi, whereas no information is provided on the proper mycorrhizal symbiosisfunctioning, and therefore on the benefits provided to…

Identification and diagnosis of patients with familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS): Expert panel recommendations and proposal of an "FCS score".

2018

Familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare, inherited disorder characterised by impaired clearance of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins from plasma, leading to severe hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) and a markedly increased risk of acute pancreatitis. It is due to the lack of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) function, resulting from recessive loss of function mutations in the genes coding LPL or its modulators. A large overlap in the phenotype between FCS and multifactorial chylomicronaemia syndrome (MCS) contributes to the inconsistency in how patients are diagnosed and managed worldwide, whereas the incidence of acute hypertriglyceridaemic pancreatitis is more frequent in FCS. A panel of Eu…

Terres et pierres pour matières de cultures : l'apparition et la diffusion de nouveaux modes et matériaux de construction dans le Nord-Est de la Gaul…

2017

Roman building materials often arose a growing interest through their presence in early contexts, sometimes way before Gallic Wars. Made from natural resources, their final shape corresponds to anthropogenic and cultural constraints. However, even if building materials are not neglected during archaeological excavations, so far they have been considered as playing a minor part in understanding ancient sites. Economical, technical and architectural aspects are regularly mentioned, creating the picture of an exploited « landscape » around the studied areas, but the question of materials as cultural markers witnessing intercultural relations between Rome and Gallic tribes has never really been…

A conversational, morpho-syntactic and intonation analysis of discourse markers in political discourse : A case study of presidential debates and tel…

2020

This thesis proposes a morphosyntactic, prosodic and conversational analysis of discourse markers in presidential debates and televised political talkshows in the United States of America. The main object of the study is the role of discourse markers in the sequential structuring and in the enunciative organisation of presidential debates in the United States of America. Discourse markers, in correlation with gestures and intonation, contribute significantly to the construction of the verbal exchange between the various participants in mediated political discourse. To achieve its goals, this thesis draws on several theoretical frameworks dealing with spontaneous speech (Benveniste and Berre…

Adipokines as Biomarkers of Atopic Dermatitis in Adults

2020

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by chronic, relapsing, pruritic skin inflammation and does not have a well-understood pathogenesis. In this study, we addressed the contribution of adipokines to AD eczema based on the assessment of blood levels of adiponectin, resistin, leptin, lipocalin-2, and vaspin in adult non-obese patients suffering from chronic extrinsic childhood-onset AD. We investigated 49 AD patients with a median age of 37 years. The control group consisted of 30 age-matched healthy subjects. Adipokines were assessed in the serum by ELISA assays and the severity of AD with the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index. We found that adiponectin and resistin decreased and l…
