      Fungi, nematodes and oomycetes belong to the most prominent eukaryotic plant pathogenic organisms. Unicellular organisms from other eukaryotic lineages, commonly addressed as protists, also infect plants. This review provides an introduction to plant pathogenic protists, including algae infecting oomycetes, and their current state of research.

      Abstract : "This paper deals with the numerical modelling of non-destructive testing of composite parts using active thermography. This method has emerged as a new approach for performing non-destructive testing (NDT) on continuous carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CCFRTP) components, particularly in view of detecting porosity or delamination. In this context, our numerical model has ...
    • Oilseed Rape Cultivars Show Diversity of Root Morphologies with the Potential for Better Capture of NitrogenPeer reviewedOpen access

      Article scientifique
      The worldwide demand for vegetable oils is rising. Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) diversifies cereal dominated crop rotations but requires important nitrogen input. Yet, the root organ is offering an untapped opportunity to improve the nitrogen capture in soil. This study evaluates three culture systems in controlled environment, to observe root morphology and to identify root attributes for superior ...
    • Pedigree Validation and Reconstruction Applied in the Cultivated Potato Using 35 Microsatellites MarkersPeer reviewedClosed access

      Article scientifique
      Abstract ; "Knowledge of the parental origin of crop species is a prerequisite for formulating efective strategies for genetic conservation, management, and utilisation of genotypes in breeding programmes and genetic studies. In the case of the potato, although pedigree information is well documented, the possible lack of accurate pedigree data for certain cultivars constitutes a loss of opportunity ...

      Abstract : "Laser beam machining of Y-TZP engineering ceramic material is carried out in green stage to increase the material removal rate. The generation of hot spots may cause local sintering of the ceramic material leading to a decrease of the mechanical properties of the final sintered component. This paper presents the implementation of alternative laser beam paths to reduce the hot spots ...
    • Que nous apprend cette 1ère mesure de l’activité biologique des sols ?Closed access

      Publication d'intérêt général/presse
      "Évaluer la fertilité des sols n'est pas trivial. Très souvent, on résume cela à une série de mesures physico-chimiques telles que le pH, la granulométrie (texture), la richesse en éléments nutritifs (P, K, etc.) ou le statut organique (teneur en carbone total). Cette approche a ses avantages car elle se base sur des procédures éprouvées et bien souvent standardisées, relativement rapides et stables ...
    • Systemic resistance induced by Bacillus lipopeptides in Beta vulgaris reduces infection by the rhizomania disease vector Polymyxa betaePeer reviewedOpen access

      Article scientifique
      The control of rhizomania, one of the most important diseases of sugar beet caused by the Beet necrotic yellow vein virus, remains limited to varietal resistance. In this study, we investigated the putative action of Bacillus amylolequifaciens lipopeptides in achieving rhizomania biocontrol through the control of the virus vector Polymyxa betae. Some lipopeptides that are produced by bacteria, ...
    • Use of self-organizing map to analyze images of fungi colonies grown from Triticum aestivum seeds disinfected by ozone treatmentPeer reviewedOpen access 

      16 octobre 2012, MARIQUE, Thierry; ALLARD, Olivier; SPANOGHE, Martin, HE CondorcetCARAH
      Article scientifique
      We submitted to ozone treatment Triticum aestivum (common wheat) seeds severely contaminated by fungi. Fungi colonies developed when seeds were placed over malt agar medium in Petri dishes; Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. were identified. However, conventional colonies counting did not allow a clear assessment of the effect of ozone disinfection. We thus used self-organizing maps (SOMs) to perform ...

      Article scientifique
      The processing of sugar beet in the sugar production industry releases huge amounts of sugar beet pulp as waste which can be considered a valuable by-product as a source of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. Valorization of sugar beet pulp into value added products occurs through acid hydrolysis, hydrothermal techniques, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Biochemical conversion of beet pulp into simple ...
