Comparative gene expression analysis of differentiated terminal and lateral haustoria of the obligate root parasitic plant Phelipanche ramosa (Orobanchaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 360-366, March 2025.
The parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa thrives on a broad spectrum of cash crops over the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, current management practices are inefficient in controlling its devastating impacts and spread. Here, valuable insights are provided on an understudied aspect of its biology, the formation of a feeding organ network on the ...

Crop age is the main driver affecting alfalfa mosaic virus: The predominant virus in the alfalfa virome

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 185, Issue 3, Page 371-382, November 2024.
For the first time, we assessed the incidence and annual increase of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) using a comprehensive approach that considers both local and landscape characteristics. Local context provided the most robust explanation for both the incidence and annual increase of AMV, with crop age being the main driver. Abstract The alfalfa virome has

Erythropoietin induces tumour progression and CD39 expression on immune cells in a preclinical model of triple‐negative breast cancer

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 173, Issue 2, Page 360-380, October 2024.
EPO promotes tumour growth in a TNBC preclinical model. EPO promotes an immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, by increasing CD39 expression on immune cells. EPO increases circulating CD39 CD4 T cells, CD39 Treg cells and CD39 myeloid cells. Abstract The adverse effects observed in some cancer patients treated with erythropoiesis‐stimulating agents

The right banker plant for the right application: Comparison of three candidates for aphid biocontrol, barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 7, Page 3293-3300, July 2024.
Finger millet, corn, and barley have different characteristics which predispose them to be used as banker plants in different specific biocontrol contexts. Abstract BACKGROUND In temperate regions, aphid biological control in greenhouses is mostly achieved by the regular release of biocontrol agents. Due to the rapid growth rate of the aphid population,

Lutte contre la maladie du jaunissement mortel au Ghana : research of resistant varieties among thirty coconut varieties (Cocos nucisfera L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Les maladies du jaunissement mortel qui dévastent les cocoteraies sont connues en Amérique Latine et en Afrique. Au Ghana, la maladie est apparue en 1932 dans la zone du Cap Saint Paul. Elle s'est étendue à la Western région qui représente près de 90% de

Foliar spectra accurately distinguish most temperate tree species and show strong phylogenetic signal

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Premise Spectroscopy is a powerful remote sensing tool for monitoring plant biodiversity over broad geographic areas. Increasing evidence suggests that foliar spectral reflectance can be used to identify trees at the species level. However, most studies have focused on only a limited number of species at a time, and few studies have explored ...

Opportunities for classical biological control of weeds in European overseas territories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
European overseas territories are home to biodiversity and endemism of worldwide importance, vastly superior to that of continental Europe as a whole. They are, however, much more threatened by invasive species, including hundreds of alien invasive plant

Larval development and voracity of Eupeodes americanus (Diptera: Syrphidae): comparison of the focal prey Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and the banker prey Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 575-586, April 2024.
The American hoverfly Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann) could be a good a biocontrol agent to control the melon aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover), which induces a lot of damage in cucumber crops. Preimaginal development time, survival rate, and occurrence of deformation are similar on both the focal prey, A. gossypii, and the banker prey, the bird cherry‐oat

Field optimization of pheromone traps for monitoring and controlling cocoa mirids, Sahlbergella singularis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In Cameroon, pheromone traps appear interesting to monitor or even control Sahlbergella singularis populations on cocoa farms. The efficiency of traps baited with pheromones relies on a good knowledge of both visual and olfactory stimuli that attract ...
