  • pseudomonas corrugata plant pathogen and or Biological Resource
    Molecular Plant Pathology, 2007
    Co-Authors: Vittoria Catara
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY Pseudomonas corrugata is the causal agent of tomato pith necrosis yet it is also used in the Biological control of plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Potentially it could be used in other fields, such as the production of commercial biomolecules with a wide range of application and including bioremediation. This review reports the multiple characteristics of the bacterium, highlights its known molecular features and speculates on the possible underlying mechanisms of action. Taxonomy:  Bacteria; Proteobacteria; γ subdivision; order Pseudomonadales; family Pseudomonadaceae; genus Pseudomonas. MicroBiological properties:  Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, non-spore forming rods; non-fluorescent on King's B medium; produces wrinkled and rarely smooth colonies on yeast peptone glucose agar or nutrient dextrose agar; yellow to brown diffusible pigments are frequently produced. Disease symptoms:  The typical symptom on tomato is necrosis and/or hollowing of the pith of the stem; the syndrome determines loss of turgidity of the plant, hydropic/necrotic areas and long conspicuous adventitious roots on the stem. Biological control agent:In vitro assessed against plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria, as well as the phytotoxin indicator microorganims Rhodotorula pilimanae and Bacillus megaterium; in vivo used against pre- and post-harvest plant pathogens.

  • BRC4Env, a network of Biological Resource Centres for research in environmental and agricultural sciences
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
    Co-Authors: Christian Mougin, Emmanuelle Artige, Frédéric Marchand, Samuel Mondy, Céline Ratié, Nadine Sellier, Philippe Castagnone-sereno, Armelle Cœur D’acier, Daniel Esmenjaud, Céline Faivre-primot
    Abstract:

    The Biological Resource Centre for the Environment BRC4Env is a network of Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) and collections whose leading objectives are to improve the visibility of genetic and Biological Resources maintained by its BRCs and collections and to facilitate their use by a large research community, from agriculture research to life sciences and environmental sciences. Its added value relies on sharing skills, harmonizing practices, triggering projects in comparative biology, and ultimately proposing a single-entry portal to facilitate access to documented samples, taking into account the partnership policies of research institutions as well as the legal frame which varies with the Biological nature of Resources. BRC4Env currently includes three BRCs: the Centre for Soil Genetic Resources of the platform GenoSol, in partnership with the European Conservatory of Soil Samples; the Egg Parasitoids Collection (EP-Coll); and the collection of ichthyological samples, Colisa. BRC4Env is also associated to several Biological collections: microbial consortia (entomopathogenic bacteria, freshwater microalgae…), terrestrial arthropods, nematodes (plant parasitic, entomopathogenic, animal parasitic...), and small mammals. The BRCs and collections of BRC4Env are involved in partnership with academic scientists, as well as private companies, in the fields of medicinal mining, biocontrol, sustainable agriculture, and additional sectors. Moreover, the staff of the BRCs is involved in many training courses for students from French licence degree to Ph.D, engineers, as well as ongoing training.

  • AgroBRC, the French national infrastructure «Agricultural Resources for research» - BRC4Env: The Biological Resource Centre for the Environment
    2016

  • Biological Resource Centre for the Environment (BRC4Env)
    2015
    Co-Authors: Christian Mougin, Sophie Formisano
    Abstract:

    The network of Biological Resource Centres and collections "Environmental Resources", BRC4Env, aims at storing and providing Biological Resources (Biological material and associated data), in a secure way and an optimal traceability. BRC4Env supports both fundamental and applied research based on agro-environmental bioResources. These Biological and/or genomic Resources are sampled from soils, sediments, waters, agricultural ecosystems, and preserved in organized collections. They include microbial communities, as well as vegetal and animal Resources, whose management or spreading do not directly depend from human intervention. BRC4Env provides these Resources available for researchers from academia, but also industry and forces of civil society (NGOs...).. BRC4Env is one of the pillars of the French national infrastructure "Agricultural Resources for Research" (AgroBRC).

  • The Tropical Plant Biological Resource Center of the French West Indies: serving agriculture and research throughout the Caribbean.
    HAL CCSD, 2019
    Co-Authors: Roux-cuvelier Michel, Paulo De La Réberdière, N., Toubi L., Faure Y., Pavis Claude
    Abstract:

    International audiencePlant genetic Resources are instrumental in the adaptation of agriculture to social and environmental change. They are the backbone of research and breeding programs aimed at the development and transfer of new crop varieties best suited to consumers’ needs and tastes and to new farming systems. To this aim, plant germplasm collections have been constituted worldwide. Securing such collections requires substantial human and financial investments that can prove difficult to maintain on the long run for small countries and territories such as most Caribbean countries. In Guadeloupe and Martinique, INRA and CIRAD have constituted large plant germplasm collections of tropical crops over several decades. They joined forces in 2010 to create the Tropical Plant Biological Resource Center of the French West Indies (CRB-PT), which is affiliated to both institutions. Five collections are included in the CRB-PT.The Banana collection includes 403 accessions representative of the world's banana diversity. It is maintained in the field and partly in vitro. Different kinds of banana are represented: plantain banana, cooking banana, dessert banana, ornamental banana and wild banana including Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana.The Yam collection contains 430 accessions which are maintained in the field with an in vitro duplicate backup. The main species represented are Dioscorea alata, D. trifida, D. cayenensis-rotundata, D. Bulbifera and D. esculenta. The Mango collection contains 96 accessions, mainly of Mangifera indicae specie. 70 % of the genotypes are originating from different African countries. It is maintained in the field. The Sugarcane collection includes 426 accessions from the CIRAD's breeding programmes and also commercial accessions from various countries. Seven species of Saccharum genus and one of Elianthus are preserved in the field. Some vulnerable accessions are also kept in vitro.Located in Martinique, the Pineapple collection includes 517 wild and cultivated accessions representative of the world's pineapple diversity

  • Expert systems in agriculture and Resource management
    Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 1993
    Co-Authors: Richard E. Plant
    Abstract:

    This paper gives a description of some representative examples of expert systems applied to problems in agriculture and Biological Resource management. The discussion of agricultural expert systems focuses on several decision support systems for crop management, describing the systems themselves and the implementation efforts surrounding them. The examples of the application of expert systems to Biological Resource management focus on the integration of expert systems with geographic information systems. A description of some of the more recent developments in agricultural expert systems, still in the prototype stage, is then given, followed by a summary discussion of possible environmental implications of the use of expert systems in agriculture and Resource management. © 1993.
