French collective expertise on herbicide-tolerant varieties
2013
The primary objective in creating herbicide-tolerant varieties is to offer the farmers with an efficient tool to ensure weed control and solve weed problems, but their use could eventually have expected or unexpected consequences according to conditions of implementation. A few of those varieties, obtained either through classical breeding or through induced mutagenesis are now on the European market (especially oilseed rape and sunflower) while a majority, which was obtained through genetic engineering, is not allowed for cultivation in this area. The report describes how CNRS and INRA experts dealt with the scientific literature, extracts key elements, points out necessary watchfulness on…
Molecular tools to monitor a biocontrol agent and to assess its environmental impacts
2008
The use of non pathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum has been proposed to control Fusarium diseases responsible for severe damages in many crops of economical importance. In order to monitor the biocontrol strain Fo47 after application in greenhouse and field, we have developed a specific molecular tool based on a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR). Primers targeting a 210-bp fragment were designed to set up a real time PCR assay allowing the identification of the biocontrol strain and its quantification in environmental samples. The assay enabled specific detection of the strain in soils without cross detection of autochthonous populations of F. oxysporum. After its introduc…

Indicators for assessing the environmental impacts of land use changes across Europe
2008
International audience; Much progress has been made in understanding future trend development over the last years. Governments and international bodies are increasingly attempting to assess ex-ante the impact of their policy proposals. In the SENSOR project, environmental sustainability is assessed by answering a set of policy relevant questions likely to affect goods and services provided by land. The answer is complex and the assessment of future options is very sensitive to scale, how far ahead in time is being considered, and whether the assessment addresses local, regional or global concerns. The relationships between components of land use and the response of environmental indicators …
Molecular studies of diversity of populations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
2011
National audience; Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) which form a mutualistic symbiosis with most terrestrial plants are not only important for natural ecosystems, but also for agricultural production. The aim of this study is to characterize fungal populations at different geographic scales in order to better understand the processes influencing AMF taxonomic and functional diversity and to determine the environmental factors affecting AMF populations, especially in the context of agricultural management. The mitochondrial large subunit gene of ribosomal RNA will be used as molecular marker to resolve population structure of Rhizophagus irregularis (formerly known as Glomus intraradices). …

L'arôme du gin : identification des composés clés et rôle des matières premières
2012
Le texte intégral de cette thèse est confidentiel à durée indéfinie.; Afin d’identifier les composés responsables de l’arôme du gin, une procédure GC-O-MS se basant sur la fréquence de détection a été développée. Elle a permis de déterminer l’intensité odorante des composés volatils. Leur qualité d’odeur a pu être définie par le développement d’une roue des odeurs utilisée pour catégoriser les descripteurs obtenus. Cette approche nous a dans un premier temps permis d’identifier les composés potentiellement importants pour l’arôme du gin. L’origine de ces composés a ensuite été déterminée par l’étude de la fraction volatile de différents « botanicals » appartenant à la recette du gin. Cette …
Maize-based low-input cropping systems can provide effective weed control while ensuring crop productivity
2016
Conventional Maize Monoculture (MMConv) is now questioned for environmental reasons. During a five-year field experiment, yield and weed pressure of MMConv was compared to three low-input Cropping Systems (CS) : MMLI, a Low-Input Maize Monoculture; MMCT, a Conservation Tillage Maize Monoculture; Maize-MSW, Maize rotated with Soyabean and Wheat, all designed to reduce water pollution. In 2014 and 2015, weed-free zones were established on all CS. Weed biomass was higher in MMCT, especially for spring grasses and perennials. MMConv (11.3±1.1 T ha-1) and MMLI (10.6±2.3 T ha-1) had higher grain yields than MMCT (8.2±1.9 T ha-1). Finally, concerning yields observed in weed-free zones, MMCT yields…
