Les impacts du campagnol terrestre sur les systèmes fourragers : le cas de l’élevage bovin allaitant en Bourgogne
2014
EAAgroSupECOLDUR; Do vole outbreaks have the same effects on suckler beef farms in Burgundy as they do on daily farms in Auvergne and Franche-Comte? Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 19 farmers from Burgundy who had been affected by a water vole outbreak in 2011. The results indicate that, just like farmers in Auvergne and Franche-Comte, farmers in Burgundy witnessed a decrease in forage quantity and quality. Farmers used diverse measures to deal with the outbreak (e.g., avoidance strategies or the use of bromadiolone). Farmers that described water voles as pests were more likely to have used bromadiolone, while those who described water voles in morphological terms or in ter…
Networks of Seed Storage Protein Regulation in Cereals and Legumes at the Dawn of the Omics Era
2012
BAP GEAPSI CT2 (BAP); International audience; Finely regulated and orchestrated events occur during seed development and germination in different cell organelles (mitochondria, peroxisomes, plastids, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, oil bodies and nuclei). Therefore, some of the ongoing investigations pass through sub-cellular organelle purifications for a deeper comprehension of these complex developmental processes. In seed biology, recent ambitious efforts in proteomics have been directed toward organelle isolation from seeds and high-throughput protein separation and identification by mass spectrometry at defined developmental stages. The construction of reference maps allowed identifyi…
Changes in properties of palm sugar syrup produced by an open pan and a vacuum evaporator during storage
2013
International audience; The aim of this study was to monitor the changes in the properties of palm sugar syrup produced by an open pan and a vacuum evaporator at 70°C and 80°C during storage under 4°C and room temperature (30°C) for 12 months at monthly intervals. During storage, Maillard reaction took place in samples stored under 4°C lower than those stored under 30°C. This was shown by lower a* values, intermediate browning products (IBP), browning intensity (BI) and HMF content, and higher L* values, fructose, glucose and free amino group contents during storage for 12 months. HMF, a possible mutagen formed by nonenzymatic browning during the heating and storage of sugar based products,…
Application of seaweeds to develop new food products with enhanced shelf-life, quality and health-related beneficial properties
2017
International audience; Edible seaweeds are a good source of antioxidants, dietary fibers, essential amino acids, vitamins, phytochemicals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and minerals. Many studies have evaluated the gelling, thickening and therapeutic properties of seaweeds when they are used individually. This review gives an overview on the nutritional, textural, sensorial, and health-related properties of food products enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts. The effect of seaweed incorporation on properties of meat, fish, bakery, and other food products were highlighted in depth. Moreover, the positive effects of foods enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts on different lifestyl…
Effects of biomass, age and functional traits on regrowth of arable weeds after cutting
2008
Conference: 24th German Conference on Weed Biology and Weed ControlLocation: Stuttgart Hohenheim, GERMANYDate: MAR 04-06, 2008; International audience; In sown field margin stripes or pluriannual forage crops, arable weeds are exposed to high competition and regular mowing or hay cutting, to which they may react very differently. A greenhouse experiment permitted to understand some key factors shaping the ability of common arable weeds and forage crops to grow after such cuttings. Even without competition, cutting shoots at 5cm height reduced biomass production of all 10 species studied, but 6 annual broadleaf weeds were much more affected than 2 perennial forage crops (Dactylis, Medicago) …
Gestion du pâturage au printemps en système bovin allaitant : diversité des pratiques en Saône-et-Loire
2009
National audience; Grazed grass is the cheapest forage for making meat'. In order to incite farmers to make their forage systems more self-sufficient and thrifty, the 'Chambre d'Agriculture de Saone-et-Loire' (a professional agricultural organization for that departement) has been monitoring for five years the management of spring grazing on 23 farms. The analysis of farmers' practices lead to considerations as to put to the best use the grazed grass, according to the pedo-climatic conditions and the constraints of the farms. With the aim of optimizing the pasture resources in order to limit the purchase of concentrates and to cope with the climatic hazards, the study of the management of s…
New approach to quantify in situ storage protein bodies in M. truncatula immature seeds
2013
Grain legumes play a worldwide role as a source of plant proteins for feed and food. During seed mid-maturation (16-20 DAP), a semi-quantitative analysis of vicilin (globulin7S) accumulation was assessed in the model legume M.truncatula. The populations of vicilincontaining protein bodies are distinguished by their number and size which allowed proposing a model of their biogenesis. Two distributions were detected, enabling a separation of their processing at early and mid maturation stages. The largest protein bodies corresponding to mature vicilin aggregations which have probably reached their final size were shown to be formed by the fusion of the small bodies. This approach using a comb…
Légumineuses et prairies temporaires : des fournitures d'azote pour les rotations
2015
Intervention présentée aux Journées de l'AFPF, "La fertilité des sols dans les systèmes fourragers", les 8 et 9 avril 2015; Les atouts des légumineuses (fixation symbiotique, diversité fonctionnelle...) leur permettent de contribuer à la fertilité des sols, à l'amélioration de la durabilité de l'agriculture et de l'autonomie protéique des systèmes alimentaires. Il convient donc de mieux connaître leurs rôles, directs et indirects, dans les flux d'azote des rotations.Les légumineuses fourragères (en culture pure ou dans des couverts multispécifiques) représentent une grande part des apports azotés symbiotiques. Il existe une grande diversité d'implication des légumineuses dans les rotations.…
Protein storage accumulation at mid-embryogenesis in Medicago truncatula and Pisum sativum

Déterminisme génétique de la plasticité de la composition protéique des graines de légumineuses vis-à-vis de l'environnement : rôle du métabolisme du…
2021
The renewed interest in plant proteins has stimulated research aimed at developing markers to aid in the selection of legume varieties better adapted to nutritional needs. Among the traits to be improved and stabilized is the amino acid balance of seeds, the essential amino acids methionine and tryptophan being particularly under-represented in legume seeds. This thesis focuses on seed protein composition, which is a major determinant of the seed amino acid balance. The objective was to explore the genetic and environmental variability in this trait and to identify genes potentially involved in its plasticity when subjected to environmental stresses. In the first part of the thesis, the pro…
