Résistance aux inhibiteurs de l’ALS chez le séneçon commun (Senecio vulgaris) : la situation en vigne et en grandes cultures
2016
Resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) : situation in franch vineyards and major field crops. Common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) is a ubiquitous weed that is highly mobile and which seeds can germinate almost all year long. It also is the only weed species today in France that is officially acknowledged to have evolved a resistance to one same herbicide mode of action both in vineyards and major field crops. The purpose of this paper is to provide a picture of a few major aspects of this resistance: underlying mechanisms, detection, seed viability, spread and geographical extent of the resistance.
La résistance aux herbicides en viticulture
2017
SPEGESTADCT1 INRA; Le premier cas de résistance au glyphosate (groupe HRAC G) en France concerne l'ivraie raide (Lolium rigidum). Il a été découvert dans le Gard sur une parcelle de vigne et confirmé par des tests de laboratoire à l'INRA de Dijon en 2006. Depuis, cette résistance a été détectée dans 5 régions viticoles (Pays de Loire, Charente, Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrénées et Languedoc-Roussillon) et déclarée par la firme Mosanto. Dans le cadre de la gestion de cette résistance, un dispositif de surveillance a été mis en place. Il donne lieu à des prélèvements de graines sur le terrain dans des parcelles présentant des difficultés de désherbage du ray-grass. Les tests de résistance sont réalisé…
Les microalgues et cyanobactéries des sols : quels apports pour l’écotoxicologie terrestre
2016
Les microorganismes photosynthétiques (cyanobactéries et microalgues) des sols pourraient constituer des bioindicateurs pertinents à l’égard des pressions phytosanitaires, à l’instar des milieux aquatiques. Néanmoins, les connaissances disponibles sur leur écologie dans les sols et leurs réponses aux stress sont limitées. Des développements méthodologiques (biochimiques et moléculaires) ont été réalisés afin d’identifier des marqueurs biochimiques et moléculaires pertinents pour décrire les effets de phytosanitaires sur la biomasse et la diversité des communautés microalgales. Des études en microcosmes contrôlés au laboratoire, complétés par des suivis au champ (systèmes de culture Biologiq…
Robotics for weed control: I-Weed Robot for a specific spraying
2012
International audience; To preserve environment for a sustainable agriculture, we explore the development of a new autonomous robot, called I-Weed Robot (Intelligent Weed Robot), which aims at reducing herbicides in crop fields (maize, sunflower...). Using a high precision positioning signal (RTK) to locate the robot in the field, a Kaman filter and a proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) allow adjusting the orientation of the robot depending on a predefined trajectory. As for the spraying system, a camera in front of the mobile platform detects weed plants thanks to an image processing based on a crop/weed discrimination algorithm (Hough Transform). At the back a spr…
Evolution of herbicide resistance in mugwort (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.): search for genetic determinisms and application to molecular diagnosis
2022
Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), a particularly troublesome and allergenic weed, is mainly controlled in agricultural fields using ALS inhibitor herbicides. Recent cases of herbicide resistance have been reported in France and are jeopardising the efficacy of this mode of action. Both target site resistance (TSR, structural mutation in ALS gene) and non target site resistance (NTSR, regulatory and/or structural mutations in secondary metabolism) are involved. The fundamental aim of this work was to identify the genetic determinisms of resistance to ALS inhibitors that have evolved in common ragweed populations in France. As an applied objective, this work also aimed to prepare t…
Atrazine uptake, elimination, and bioconcentration by periphyton communities and Daphnia magna: effects of dissolved organic carbon.
2001
The bioconcentration and toxicokinetics of atrazine in three different periphyton communities and in laboratory reared Daphnia magna were studied in natural and artificial waters with different dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and qualities. The exposure concentrations were similar to those short-lived peak concentrations found in contaminated waters. Atrazine uptake and elimination were very fast, and the bioconcentration was low both in periphyton and D. magna. The bioconcentration factors in D. magna were approx. 16% of those in periphyton. The uptake and elimination rates were also higher in periphyton than in Daphnia. The periphyton properties affected the bioconcentration…
Indirect analysis of urea herbicides from environmental water using solid-phase microextraction.
2000
We described here a solid-phase microextraction procedure used to extract six urea pesticides-- chlorsulfuron, fluometuron, isoproturon, linuron, metobromuron and monuron--from environmental samples. Two polydimethylsiloxanes and a polyacrylate fiber (PA) are compared. The extraction time, pH control, addition of NaCl to the water and the influence of organic matter such as humic acid on extraction efficiency were examined to achieve a sensitive method. Determination was carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The proposed method requires the extraction of 2 ml of sample (pH 4, 14.3%, w/v, NaCl) for 60 min with the PA fiber. The limits of detection range from 0…
Mode of action of herbicidal derivatives of aminomethylenebisphosphonic acid. Part II. Reversal of herbicidal action by aromatic amino acids
1997
The herbicidal action of N-pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids is accompanied by an impairment of anthocyanin biosynthesis. This suggests that they might act as inhibitors of some steps in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. Herbicidal effects were reversed by aromatic amino acids using both bacterial and plant models, a finding that strongly supports this hypothesis. Structural features of these compounds suggest the sixth enzyme in the shikimate pathway 5-enol-pyruvoylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase as a possible target, since a strong structural similarity exists between aminomethylenebisphosphonic acid and an inhibitor of EPSP synthase, the herbicide glyphosate. This is, howeve…
DIAGSOL : Développement d’un outil microbien pour évaluer l’exposition des sols agricoles aux herbicides β-tricétones
2018
International audience; En 2011, en France, plus de 2 millions d’hectares de champs de maïs ont été traités avec desherbicides β-tricétones. Qualifiés de « respectueux de l’environnement » en raison d’une efficacité àfaible dose, de récentes études ont démontré un effet transitoire des β-tricétones sur la diversitébactérienne des sols (Romdhane et al., 2016). L’utilisation récurrente des β-tricétones pourrait, àterme, perturber la diversité bactérienne et les fonctions écosystémiques des sols qu’elle soutient.Il est essentiel d’évaluer l’exposition des microorganismes des sols aux β-tricétones.L’enzyme 4-hydroxyphénylpyruvate dioxygénase (4-HPPD), cible de ces herbicides chez les plantesadv…
Role of glutathione in Thiobencarb resistance in the European eel Anguilla anguilla.
2000
Glutathione-dependent defense against xenobiotic toxicity is a multifaceted phenomenon that has been well characterized in mammals. In the present study, eels of species Anguilla anguilla were exposed to 15 ppm of the herbicide thiobencarb (S-4-chlorobenzyl diethylthiocarbamate) for 96 h. Eels exposed to the pesticide were grouped in 24-h intervals according to their time of death, while surviving intoxicated eels constituted another group (live animals). Glutathione content (GSx, GSH, GSSG) was determined in liver and muscle tissues of the dead and live (intoxicated) animals and compared to control values (nonexposed eels). The fish that died before 96 h of exposure were considered suscept…
