Phylogeography and Molecular Evolution of Potato virus Y
2012
Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important plant pathogen, whose host range includes economically important crops such as potato, tobacco, tomato, and pepper. PVY presents three main strains (PVYO, PVYN and PVYC) and several recombinant forms. PVY has a worldwide distribution, yet the mechanisms that promote and maintain its population structure and genetic diversity are still unclear. In this study, we used a pool of 77 complete PVY genomes from isolates collected worldwide. After removing the effect of recombination in our data set, we used Bayesian techniques to study the influence of geography and host species in both PVY population structure and dynamics. We have also performed selection and…
Impact of konjac glucomannan on interactions aroma compound - potato starch in a hydrated gel
2016
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the presence of konjac glucomannan (KGM) in a potato starch matrix enhances its physical stability without inhibiting the molecular encapsulation of aroma compounds by amylose. For that purpose, the two selected polysaccharides are from plant tubers, abundant in nature.Starch is known to interact with volatile compounds either by trapping in amorphous phase or by forming inclusion complexes. This phenomenon is called molecular encapsulation. However, at high water content, these starchy matrices exhibit syneresis that can be harmful to the stability of the aroma compounds trapping over time. KGM has the ability to form highly viscous soluti…
A model species for agricultural pest genomics: the genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
2018
AbstractThe Colorado potato beetle is one of the most challenging agricultural pests to manage. It has shown a spectacular ability to adapt to a variety of solanaceaeous plants and variable climates during its global invasion, and, notably, to rapidly evolve insecticide resistance. To examine evidence of rapid evolutionary change, and to understand the genetic basis of herbivory and insecticide resistance, we tested for structural and functional genomic changes relative to other arthropod species using genome sequencing, transcriptomics, and community annotation. Two factors that might facilitate rapid evolutionary change include transposable elements, which comprise at least 17% of the gen…
Origins of the blemishes of potato tubers : from the soil microbiology to the pedoclimatic environment
2010
The visual quality of fresh potatoes, Solanum tuberosum, became a dominant criterion and a significative economical issue in potato market. According the vegetative reproduction of this species, requirements for visual quality are also needed for potato seed tubers. As an organ for reserve and propagation, the tuber grows underground and is in contact with soil-borne microorganisms, making it potentially exposed to blemishes, for the majority of which the origin is still unclear. The objective of this work is to make an inventory of those tuber blemishes, to characterize them and determine their causes. After the establishment of consensual nomenclature and classification of the blemishes, …
Impact de l’inoculation au champ par Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 (AGTIV ®, Premier Tech, Canada) sur le rendement et la nutrition de 4 variét…
2022
Différents services écosystémiques rendus par les champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (CMA) ont été mis en évidence dans des expériences menées sur différentes plantes, que ce soit en conditions contrôlées ou au champ. Les CMAs permettent par exemple, dans des conditions adéquates, d’améliorer la production de biomasse ainsi que le rendement, la qualité et les propriétés organoleptiques de nombreux produits d’intérêt pour l’industrie agro-alimentaire. Cependant, peu d’études se sont intéressées à l’impact de l’inoculation d’un CMA possédant une Autorisation de Mise sur le Marché au champ sur le rendement et la qualité des produits agricoles. Nous avons étudié l’impact de l’inoculation par…

Services provided by soil microorganisms to improve plant phosphate nutrition
2022
Since the first Green Revolution, agricultural practices have been based on the massive use of synthetic fertilisers and plant protection products. Since then, global consumption of phosphate fertilisers has more than tripled, reaching 47 million tonnes in 2019. Current projections estimate that phosphate rock stocks (natural phosphorus resources for fertiliser production) could be depleted within the next century, leading us to change our agricultural practices. In soils, P is mainly present in complexed forms that are not easily accessible to plants. To reduce the use of phosphate fertilisers, it is necessary to make this complexed phosphate accessible to plants. This can be done by benef…
L'origine de toutes les altérations superficielles du tubercule de pomme de terre est-elle vraiment infectieuse?
2009
SPE communication orale, résumé; Deux essais en sol stérile testant le pouvoir pathogène des souches le plus fréquemment isolées et inoculées seules, et un essai en hydroponie testant l'effet de co-inoculations de 2 souches sur l'apparition des altérations ont été mis en place.
