Texto completoThe gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea has a devastating impact on various economically important crops, including grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), with annual economic losses exceeding10 to 100 billion dollars worldwide. Currently, pesticides remain the main method used to reduce the incidence of this phytopathogenic fungus. However, in addition to emergence of multidrug resistance, chemicals must be increasingly restricted in order to limit their impact on the environment and human health. Thus, in recent years, biological protection is gaining renewed interest. Therefore, the aim of our project is the development of new biotechnologies allowing the grapevine to better resist pathogenic pressures, through the use of beneficial microorganisms. The rhizosphere is a rich source of microorganisms with strong abilities in the biocontrol of plant diseases. In the present study, isolation of plant beneficial microorganisms was carried out on healthy plants. A total of 42 micro-organisms were isolated from different rhizospheric semi-arid soils collected in vineyards of Meknes in Morocco (Latitude 33.75989, Longitude -5.43909). The in vitro antagonism test of the various isolates towards B. cinerea evealed that among all the isolates tested the strains S3, S4, S5 and S6 showed a positive result. These isolates inhibit the growth of B. cinerea. The four strains were identified by the study of biochemical characters and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The results of the analyzes showed that the bacterial strains retained were related to the following species, of the Bacillus genus: S3: B. velezensis; S4: B. velezensis; and S5: B. halotollerans. Isolate S6 was classified in the genus Enterobacter and identified as E. cloacae. The antagonism test carried out in planta on vine vitroplants indicates that the four rhizobacteria reduce significantly (59%, 39%, 55%, and 17%, respectively), the symptoms of the disease and reduce damage to photosynthetic activity (PSII) due to attack by B. cinerea. This study revealed that strains of the genus Bacillus and Enterobacter isolated from the rhizosphere of the vine could be used as biological control agents in the protection of the vine

Texto completoThe research investigates the application of biomimetic calcium phosphate as innovative delivery system for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) protection purposes. This smart material was successfully studied in the biomedical field, from the functionalization of biomimetic calcium phosphate with anti-cancer molecules for localized releases, to the development of an innovative toothpaste for oral hygiene. Preliminary assays to implement the control of the grapevine fungal diseases, have revealed promising results. In this framework, the biomimetic inorganic hydroxyapatite was investigated as potential delivery system of bioactive substances allowed in organic agriculture for plant protection.Through a multidisciplinary approach, the study was aimed to evaluate the efficiency of hydroxyapatite in enhancing the biological activity of copper(II) compounds, on the control of relevant common diseases, like downy mildew, and complex fungal diseases, such as the grapevine trunk diseases. This aim is related to further ambitious goals: the significant reduction of the fungicides amounts applied in plant protection and the optimization of the distribution and persistence of the bioactive substances in the plant tissues, including the vascular ones, where harmful pathogens can develop. Overall, the experimental activities allowed: (i) to understand the interaction between delivery system, functional substance and grapevine tissues; (ii) to demonstrate the mechanism on which the higher efficacy of the functional substance is based; (iii) to collect new information on the mechanisms involved in the symptoms expression by studying the plant defense reactions induced by the treatments

Texto completoRecombinant antibodies isolated from non-human primates represent very promising medical countermeasures against bioweapons. The advantages and methodological aspects of this approach have been described. An scFv, neutralizing the lethal toxin of Bacillus anthracis (2LF: KD= 1. 02 nM) and directed against the “lethal factor” subunit was isolated from a phage-displayed immune library, and characterised. Another scFv, 43RCA, neutralizing ricin, was obtained with the same methodology and tested (in particular: KD= 40 pM). This approach may also be used beyond bioweapons, as an scFv directed toward Aspergillus fumigatus was also isolated (MS130i-IIIC3: KD= 0,96 nM). On-line sequence analysis with IMGT tools allowed to show the high degree of similarity between these scFvs and their human counterparts. Antibody fragments were engineered, including an in vitro affinity maturation (KD initial = 3. 4 nM; KD final = 0. 18 nM). Utilizing IMGT standardisation and on-line tools, a “germline humanization” - utilizing FR derived from IgM, encountered by every Human, as opposed to IgG FR - was realized in order to ensure an optimal tolerance for one of our scFvs. A primatized IgG was tested in vivo and showed therapeutic and prophylactic capacities

Texto completoCold storage is used to obtain large quantities of natural enemies in biological control programs for inundative releases. The objective of this thesis is to compare different storage treatments, considered as thermal stresses, to evaluate the fitness of the survivors, using as a biological model the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. We evaluated the effects of each tretament on different life history traits such as longevity, fecundity at emergence, lifetime fecundity, mating capacity, sex ratio of offspring, but also on physiological parameters such as the amount of lipids. The main results showed that fluctuating temperature regimes significantly improve survival rates (mainly after four weeks of storage) compared to constant regimes, but parasitoids consume larger amounts of lipids during storage. During long storage (4 weeks), we highlighted for the first time that a combination of fluctuating regime with low temperature at 0°C produced the best emergence rates associated with higher fitness. When mortality rate is negligible after storage, longevity was the first parameter affected. Fecundity did not decreased significantly, whereas the sex ratio of the progeny was male biased. When mortality rate is high, the individuals succeeding to emerge, showed performances as high as the control. These individuals, however, were small in size compared to control. After cold storage, larger individuals were more affected by stress than smaller ones. Furthermore, smaller individuals had a higher egg load at emergence, which was observed for the first time. In parasitoids, it is well known that larger individuals have better fitness, and this may thereby affect the success of biological control

Texto completoTo combat pests of crops (herbivores and pathogens) new pathways have been explored, in particular biological control. Used the nature and its organisms to regulate the populations of pathogens, that is the goal of the biological fight also called biocontrol. Among the organisms commonly found in biocontrol are micro-organisms, be they fungi or bacteria. These microorganisms have very interesting capabilities for farmers and agronomists. Indeed, studies have shown that they are able to interact with plants to allow a better growth and health of it.Then, in this thesis, we were interested in bacteria to find alternative methods of struggle with Fusarium graminearum, a pathogen of cereals responsible for high yield losses, especially thanks to the production of mycotoxins that will make the seeds unfit for human and animal consumption.Through an original approach of keeping noninhibitory strains in vitro for in planta tests, we have been able to show the limitations of in vitro selection. Thanks to the metabolic exploration of a particularly efficient strain, we have also been able to highlight potential new antifungal molecules. Through a model strain, we explored the mechanisms of the establishment of systemic resistance in wheat induced by bacteria. And finally, we have explored the potential of bacterial combinations in wheat protection that seems to represent a real future in the world of biocontrol.The work done is in line with the needs of new resources to limit the use of pesticides, but also in a need to better understand the tripartite interactions between wheat, pathogen and beneficial bacteria

Texto completoInbreeding and hybridization are two genetic processes that may have antagonistic effects in biological control agents (BCAs) rearing. Hybridization can minimize the risk of inbreeding depression (decrease in fitness of inbred individuals), and favor the emergence of advantageous phenotypes. Although the mechanisms of inbreeding depression and the consequences of hybridization are well known, very few studies have been carried out in the context of biological control. The actual effects of inbreeding and hybridization on the fitness of BCAs should be assessed to guide the practices of the biocontrol industry. In a public-private collaboration, data were generated on the effects of inbreeding in the four BCAs Allotropa burrelli, Chrysoperla near comanche, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and Macrolophus pygmaeus. Inbreeding resulted in a 30% decrease in reproductive success in M. pygmaeus. A thorough study of the consequences of intra-specific hybridization was then carried out using four populations of M. pygmaeus. Three genetic groups separated by strong reproductive isolation were identified. Nevertheless, a fitness advantage for individuals from crosses between genetically distant parents has been highlighted within each genetic group. This work brings data usable in the short term by the partner companies. It also helps to create a corpus of data to better evaluate the real importance of genetic effects in BCAs rearing

Texto completoThe bacterium Bacillus subtilis is considered as a promising alternative to conventional pesticides for plant disease management. The mechanisms underlying the biocontrol properties of this bacterium are multiple and are closely related to the production of lipopeptides. Currently, little is known about the influence of plant pathogenic fungi/oomycetes on B. subtilis physiology and biocontrol mechanisms. The objective of this doctoral research project was to study the influence of fungi/oomycetes on B. subtilis biocontrol mechanisms, especially on the production of lipopeptides. In the first instance, the lipopeptides produced by B. subtilis PTB185 were characterised by mass spectrometry and a method allowing the relative quantification of these compounds was developed using MALDI-TOF instrumentation. This first step displayed the capacity of strain PTB185 to produce surfactin, iturin, and fengycin. Confrontation assays conducted on agar showed that B. subtilis antagonistic activity and production of lipopeptides vary significantly (P ≤ 0.05) according to the pathogen tested. However, no correlation between lipopeptides production and B. subtilis antimicrobial activity was observed. Autoclaved mycelia of plant pathogens were also shown to significantly influence the quantities of lipopeptides produced by B. subtilis in liquid culture. Fengycin and/or iturin were produced in significantly higher amounts in presence of mycelium of Botrytis cinerea, Mucor sp., Pythium ultimum, or Rhizoctonia solani, while addition of mycelium in the medium did not significantly affect surfactin production as compared to the control. Bacteria grown in liquid medium amended with Mucor sp. mycelium caused a significantly higher reduction of mycelial growth of B. cinerea, R. solani, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as compared to the bacteria grown with no mycelium. These results show for the first time the influence of autoclaved plant pathogen mycelium on B. subtilis antagonistic ability and production of fengycin/iturin. The influence of autoclaved mycelia and extracellular compounds of plant pathogenic fungi/oomycetes on B. subtilis was further investigated by proteomics. Autoclaved mycelium of all tested pathogens strongly inhibited the proteins associated with B. subtilis thiamine metabolism and biosynthesis. Autoclaved mycelium of Mucor sp. strongly increased proteins associated with the phage-like element PBSX and strongly decreased those related to biotin metabolism and biosynthesis. Extracellular compounds of P. ultimum reduced proteins associated with flagellar assembly and stimulated those related to the production of subtilosin. Autoclaved mycelium and extracellular compounds of R. solani strongly increased proteins associated with the production of siderophores. Extracellular compounds of S. sclerotiorum barely affected the proteome of the bacterium. The results of this study, besides providing additional evidence of the influence of biotic interactions on lipopeptides production, give further information on the influence of the latter on B. subtilis physiology and biocontrol mechanisms. Finally, this study provides new insights into the optimisation of the culture medium to grow B. subtilis for biotechnological applications.

Texto completoHedgerows host a great of invertebrate species and play a great role as reservoirs of beneficial arthropods, which is not to be demonstrated any more. In the current context of a systemic agriculture based on the durability of the systems of production, their use in integrated protection management enters within the scope of the methods called "conservation biological control". The objective of this work is to estimate the hedge functionality in the control of the psylla Cacopsylla pyri (L. ) (Hemiptera, Psyllidae, key pest of the pear orchards, Pyrus communis (L. ). Our results, obtained in an experimental orchard during three consecutive years, show that the hedge influences the distribution of predators in the field during C. Pyri proliferation. This effect is not simply a border effect as movements of beneficials are observed between the hedge and the orchard in connection with prey density. In an applied context, the impact of chemical treatment is major on the composition of arthropods populating orchards and decreases the functional role of hedgerows observed in our experimental orchard

Texto completoAmillaria exerts a powerful, pathogenic action against the maritime pine. Among control methods sudied, biological control seems to be appropriate for use in the forest massif of Gascony. This is the subject of the author's study. The antagonistic action of isolates of T. Harzianum on Amillaria were evaluated. The isolates demonstrating a certain efficaciousness in vitro and in situ provide only temporary protection of young pines in the contex of controlled inoculation in the nursery. The search for fungi of the order Basidiomycetes being wood-degrading and antogonistic was understaken on a forest-wide scale. Intensive collection allowed for obtaining diverse isolates. Among these the white not fungi which demonstrated considerable wood-degrading action were singled out. A method for quantifying antagonistic action in vitro was perfected then applied to the group of isolates previously selected. For the most efficacious among these, a study of their individual antagonistic action in semi-natural conditions was carried out. Four basidiomycetes Bjerkandera adusta, Gymnopilus spectabilis, Hygropsis aurantiaca and Hypholoma fasciculare are able to colonize wood rapidly under non sterile conditions. Additionally, they are capable of eliminating the amillaria inoculum present in the root. The various phenomena present in antagonistic and wood-degrading action were identified. The production of enzymes and of toxins was revealed when amillaria and the different basidiomycetes were paired in a liquid medium. The mycoparasitic action of certain isolates on the root not fungus was demonstrated. The study of enzymatic action inherent in the degradation of the wood was carried out. For B. Adusta ; G. Spectabilis, H. Fasciculare and H. Aurantiaca the lignolytic systems are lire efficacious than these of amillaria. The root bot fungus is characterized by a greater pectinase action than that of the other fungi

Texto completoBiological control using entomopathogenic fungi is one of the alternatives to chemical insecticides. The thesis studies the specificity, persistence and dispersion of Beauveria strains and the potential of an innovative use strategy. Using pathogenicity tests, a first chapter describes the host range of three commercial strains of B. bassiana and B. hoplocheli. These studies reveal significant differences between strains. Nevertheless, they all have a broad host range, which allows considering extending their use against fruit flies. The second chapter explores the potential of a biocontrol strategy specifically targeting females of the melon fruit fly, based on the auto-dissemination of entomopathogenic fungi using males as spore vectors. Using an original experimental design, we demonstrate that spore transmission from male to female during mating significantly increases female mortality. In Reunion, for 30 years, a biocontrol program for a sugarcane white grub has been based on the use of B. hoplocheli. The third chapter investigates the genetic diversity of B. hoplocheli strains using microsatellite markers in a three years survey in sugarcane fields. We reveal a very low genetic diversity and identify genotypes of strains introduced in the 1980s. These results suggest that the strains introduced at the beginning of the biological control persisted and spread in the Reunion agro-ecosystem

Texto completoNatural populations are commonly exposed to fluctuations of temperature and poikilothermic organisms such as insects are particularly sensitive to such variations which can represent potential stresses, ultimately affecting their life history traits and their overall fitness. The present study focused on the solitary endoparasitoid Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae Aphidiidae), an efficient biological control agent commercially used against aphids such as the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thomas (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae). We here evaluated the effects of mild heat stresses (at 25°C or 28°C, applied for either 1h or 48h) on young adults of A. Ervi and on the fitness of their first generation (F1) progeny. Only heat stresses of 48h had a strong impact on the wasps’ mortality while all treatments reduced the male longevity. Heat-stresses applied to A. Ervi parents also had consequences on their F1 progeny whose developmental time, rate of mummification and success of parasitism were negatively affected. Surprisingly, the fecundity of the F1 female progeny was increased when their mother had been submitted to a mild heat stress of 25°C. The increased fecundity of the F1 female progeny is suggested to result from a homeostatic, hormesis-like effect implying trans-generational phenotypic plasticity, thus illustrating the complexity of insect responses, and underlying mechanisms, to fluctuating conditions of their natural environment. Such phenomenon is believed to be adaptive as organisms with the induced phenotype are expected to experience a greater fitness

Texto completoSustainable agriculture is based on the use of less chemical inputs and promotes the use of biological products such as biochar. Many studies clearly indicate that some biochars can stimulate biological nitrogen fixation in legumes. Our project aims to study the effect of a biochar (Pines, 700ºC) on the tripartite symbiosis Ensifer meliloti-Rhizophagus irregularis-Medicago sativa L., on the production of bacterial inocula and on the fight against pathogens. A culture of alfalfa inoculated with two strains of E. meliloti A2 or S14, in the presence of Rhizophagus irregularis and in a soil amended with 0, 15 or 30% of biochar (vol:vol) was conducted. A significant stimulation of mycorrhization was observed in the presence of 15% biochar and A2 or S14. However, inoculation of alfalfa with A2 or S14 had no significant effect on yields, indicating the presence in soil of effective strains of E. meliloti. A study on survival of rhizobia and Bacillus subtilis MBI 600 at 4°C and 25°C was conducted for 120 days. It showed that biochar (15%, vol:vol) promotes significantly the survival of rhizobial cells but for Bacillus subtilis it is the Pro-mix without biochar which supports better cell survival. Thus, the biochar effect on survival of microorganisms depends on the dose of biochar used. The effect of biochar amendments on P. ultimum and FORL colonization and infection was also evaluated. The study of the effect of three doses of biochar (0, 15, 30%; vol:vol) on pathogens showed that high doses may offer a good environment for pathogens development. Our study was performed using a single type of biochar with three doses. Therefore, it is very important to test other types and doses of biochar to be able to make recommendations.

Texto completoThe increasing antibiotic resistance among pathogens and the emergence of biological weapons have highlighted the urgent need of new antimicrobial agents. In this context, the design of peptidomimetics as urea-based foldamers, capable of mimicking the amphiphilic character and conformation of natural antimicrobial peptides, key effector molecules of innate immunity, offers new prospects. It has been previously established that amphipathic oligourea 2.5-helices have a strong bactericidal activity against Bacillus anthracis, bacteria considered as a potential biological warfare agent. Based on these results and with the aim of optimizing the potency and selectivity in vitro of the first generation of compounds, a structure-activity relationship study was carried out by performing series of modifications on a lead compound (i.e. side-chain replacement, size and backbone modifications). Among them, new series oligomers incorporating isosteric substitutions such as thiourea and guanidine moieties were prepared in solution then on solid support. Interestingly, the conformational studies revealed that only the insertion of thiourea linkage near the negative end of the helix dipole was well-tolerated by the 2.5-helix. Concurrently, in vivo studies highlighted a strong stability of the lead oligourea with a selective accumulation in the kidneys as well as a partial protection of the mice after systemic infection by Bacillus anthracis. Finally, biophysical interaction studies of selected oligoureas with model membranes confirmed their capacity to disturb membranes and showed different mechanisms of action depending on the lipid composition

"Stratégies de réussite parasitaire du parasitoïde larvaire Therophilus javanus et de ses potentialités d’utilisation en lutte biologique contre Maruca vitrata le lépidoptère foreur de gousse de niébé Vigna unguiculata en Afrique de l’Ouest". Thesis, Montpellier, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018MONTG057/document.
Texto completoMaruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is one of the most important insect pests in West Africa causing severe damage to cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. (Fabales: Fabaceae)). The pest alone can cause up to 80 % yield losses. Damage is done by caterpillars on flower buds, flowers and developing pods. To develop the biological control of M. vitrata in West Africa, a collaboration has been established between WorldVeg and IITA that resulted in the identification of one promising parasitoid species namely Therophilus javanus (Bhat & Gupta, 1977) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Because of a dearth of data concerning T. javanus biology, the present work was initiated to assess the suitability of T. javanus as a classical biological control agent against M. vitrata in West Africa.In order to help for decision making regarding the use of T. javanus as a biological control agent against the pod borer, my thesis focused on some biological parameters as egg production capacity in females, immature development, the impact of host stage on the adult life cycle and the ability of adult female to localize M. vitrata on infested host plant organs based on olfactory stimuli. I’ve also investigated the morphology, ultrastructural organization and the transcriptome of the venom gland in females, and designed a PCR method for detection of M. vitrata caterpillars parasitized by T. javanus.Our study has demonstrated that T. javanus is a synovigenic species that mature eggs gradually after emergence and that egg production in progeny is influenced by the size or instar of the caterpillar host at parasitism. T. javanus is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that has three larval instars: the first and the second instars are completed inside the host whereas the third instar is achieved outside the host. Development time and fecundity were influenced by the size or instar of the caterpillar at the moment of parasitism whereas mother longevity and progeny sex ratio were not influenced. The females explored different parts of the cowpea plant but invested more time for searching on the buds. Female attraction by M. vitrata-damaged host plants odors was impacted by the plants species. Odors released from M. vitrata-infested host plant parts were discriminated from non-infested parts in selected plants, cowpea and Tephrosia platycarpa Guill & Perr (Fabales: Fabaceae), respectively. Finally we have shown that the venom gland produces proteins with similarities with venom proteins from other hymenoptera, in particular with the endoparasitoid Microplitis demolitor Wilkinson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). However, the highly transcribed sequences were related to venom proteins in the ectoparasitoid Ampulex compressa (Fabr.) (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae). Primers designed based on the sequence of the most expressed venom protein in T. javanus allowed to discriminate adult T. javanus from other adult hymenoptera parasitoids. Similarly, parasitized M. vitrata caterpillar could be distinguished from non parasitized M. vitrata caterpillar.These findings are discussed in the frame of improving mass rearing of the parasitoid in laboratory, and optimizing release strategies, but also of developing an approach for investigation of the parasitoid establishment. This thesis represents the first documentation devoted to the physiology and bioecology of T. javanus. However, some questions still remain to be addressed in order to decide on the possibility of using T. javanus as biological control agent against M. vitrata in West Africa

Texto completoIt is now crucial to develop new control tools to replace the use of pesticides. Biological control is one of this tool and we thus studied the possible roles of spiders as generalist predators in apple orchards. Three studies were carried out: the first one to determine which local factors (protection management and characteristics of the surroundings) govern spider communities (abundance, diversity) in apple orchards; the second to determine which spiders remain active in winter to control resting stages of some pests; and the last to assess the feasibility of a transfer and release of some spider species into an orchard. We first showed that organic and IPM orchards hosted very different spider community and that, in contrast, local characteristics (hedges and percentage of orchards in the vicinity) had only minor effects. We further demonstrated that some spiders were active winter-long in apple orchards in South-east of France with high abundances for some genus like Philodromus, Trachelas and Clubiona. Lastly we showed that transferring and releasing some spider species of interest (C. mildei and C. leucapsis) is possible and greatly increased the abundance of the released species for one year in the target orchard. We moreover observed a significantly negative relationship between C. mildei and codling moth abundance at the tree scale. These results proved that spider populations can be managed to increase their role in the biological control of important pests in pomefruit orchards

Texto completoSeporia musiva (Mycosphaerella populorum) is an Ascomycota which causes canker and leafspot on hybrid poplar. S. populicola (M. populicola) only causes leafspot. The aim of my project was to transform these two fungi with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium which causes Crown gall, and is commonly used to transform plant and fungi in laboratory. In a first experiment, transformation using plasmid pPT1 were successful for S. musiva, but not for S. populicola. However, no transformants were obtained from either S. musiva and S. populicola in subsequent experiments in which plasmid pPL1 was used and different parameters were tested. A possible explanation for the inhability to obtain transformants from S. populicola is the low number of conidia available for transformation experiments. In the case of S. musiva, low number of bacterial cells and non optimal protocols might explain negative results observed.

Texto completoChoisya ternata is an ornamental plant that suffers from root rot disease due to Phytophthora. This disease can lead to severe production losses (up to 80 %), which require intensive use of phytosanitary products. A better understanding of plants defenses in required in order to reduce the use of these products. Therefore, the objectives of this thesis are I) identifying Phytophthora spp. pathogens of C. ternata, II) studying roots defense actors and III) developing an alternative control approach. Phytophthora spp. identification by ITS region amplification and sequencing highlighted the presence of Phytophthora parasitica on Choisya. Furthermore, Phytophthora tropicalis was identified for the first time in France and on Choisya culture. Two C. ternata cultivars were used to study the plants root defense actors against P. parasitica, Aztec pearl (less susceptible to root rot) and Goldfinger (more susceptible to root rot). Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are glycomolecules of the cell wall which constitutes a physical barrier to pathogens. Studies showed the role of AGPs in the plant-pathogen interaction and more specifically in the case of oomycetes. However, Choisya root AGPs role in the interaction with P. parasitica is not studied. Our results showed biochemical differences in the monosaccharide composition of Aztec pearl root AGPs and the other AGPs fractions (Aztec pearl leaves and Goldfinger roots and leaves). Contrary to other fractions Aztec pearl root AGPs did not increase P. parasitica mycelium growth. These results suggest that oomycete was not able to degrade this fraction and use it as energy source. When P. parasitica infects the plant, these AGPs may be able to slow the infection and reduce disease severity. Plants have also developed chemical molecules known as secondary metabolites (SM) capable of protecting them against attackers. Studies showed that C. ternata leaves are rich with SM as alkaloids that have many pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, roots alkaloids composition and role in plant protection are not studied. Our results showed that roots of the two cultivars are riche with furoquinoline alkaloids. Some these alkaloids were more concentrated in Aztec pearl. But after inoculation with P. parasitica zoospores, the difference was not detectable anymore. Moreover, the total alkaloids extract of Aztec pearl inhibited P. parasitica mycelium growth, unlike the extract of Goldfinger. Another strategy of plants protection is the use of beneficial soil microorganisms that limits pathogens development and stimulate plant defenses. These microorganisms are known as biological control agents (BCA) and are sometimes used in horticulture as an alternative control strategy. In our study, treatments of C. ternata by different BCA were evaluated by a developed real time PCR (qPCR) targeting ypt1 and by symptoms annotation. This evaluation showed that combined treatments by Glomus intraradices with Gliocladium catenulatum and G. intraradices with Trichoderma atroviridae (respectively mycorrhizal fungi and filamentous fungi) offer a better protection against P. parasitica

Texto completoArbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi (AM) are ubiquitous microorganisms forming symbiotic relationships with the majority of terrestrial plant species. Their ecological functions in the productivity and stability of agroecosystems have been recognized for many years. Many studies have shown that these symbionts improved plant growth and plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite the proven potential of mycorrhizal symbiosis to sustainably improve the productivity of agroecosystems under low input agriculture, this biotechnology is still under exploited. This failure mainly results from technical difficulties to mass-produced fungal inoculum of high quality and a lack of knowledge about the biological factors regulating the soil receptivity of AM inoculation. The main objectives of our studies are to optimize the performance of an AM fungal inoculum. (1), by combining the AM fungus with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria, or Mycorrhizal Helper Bacteria. This strategy aims to promote the establishment and the functioning of the mycorrhizal symbiosis. Indeed, this plant beneficial bacteria may affect plant growth through two different pathways, directly by providing to the plant some beneficial compounds (i.e. phytohormones, etc), indirectly, by reducing or preventing the deleterious effects of phytopathogens or by improving the establishment of the mycorrhizal symbiosis. (2), by plant management with the association of cereal/leguminous in intercropping. Leguminous are often dependent of AM association and AM fungi may participate to promote N and P plant uptake. (3), by amendment of mineral or organic compounds. These amendments can be degraded slowly by bacteria and promote plant nutrition without increase P and N soil availability. (4), by development of complex inocula associating beneficial bacteria, AM fungi and amendment, based on the entrapment of these inocula in alginate gels

Texto completoIn the agricultural landscapes, non cropped habitats are an important source for the beneficial entomofauna of crops. It is therefore important to adapt the management of these habitats to best benefit of the services provided by the diversity of this beneficial entomfauna. The objective of this thesis is to understand how field margin management could improve the biological control service delivered by ground beetles. First, we examined by which mechanisms, changes in the functional diversity of ground beetles increases their capacity of pest suppression. Thus, efficiency of predation by ground beetle assemblages, which have different levels of body size diversity, on a prey population was compared in the laboratory. Also, through an experiment installed in cereal fields, we studied the effects of five field margin management on the vegetation structure of these non cropped habitats, and therefore on the structure of ground beetle communities. Our results revealed the absence of resource partitioning among the different-sized ground beetles. The amount and size of prey consumed increased with increasing ground beetle body size. Prey suppression was, therefore, strongly strengthened by the presence of large ground beetles in the assemblages. These results suggest that increasing ground beetles size diversity increases their predation efficiency through the sampling effect. We have showed a functional redundancy among species of ground beetles. This redundancy could reduce the spatial and temporal variability in pest suppression by ground beetles. Our study showed the importance of the field margins as a habitat for many ground beetle species that are important for biological control. Management influenced ground beetles only in the field margin. Plants functional diversity within these field margins has been identified as the main factor promoting the species richness of ground beetles. However, activity-density of ground beetles was promoted by less heterogeneous vegetation and high percentage of bare ground. The responses to the vegetation structure vary between ground beetles with different body sizes. This diversity in ground beetles responses to the vegetation structure appears to be also related to variation in other life history traits (i.e. diet). The knowledge and results produced as part of this thesis will be used in the development of indicators measuring the impact of management on biological control delivered by ground beetles

Texto completoIdentifying landscape context and farming systems that enhance natural pest control while maintaining biodiversity is crucial to design functional agricultural landscapes. Using a meta-analysis and an empiric study based on 42 vineyards in Nouvelle Aquitaine (France), we investigated the effect of the deployment of organic farming at a landscape scale on 1) natural enemy communities, 2) natural pest control and 3) pest infestation levels. Here, we showed that the proportion of organic farming structured more natural enemy communities than the proportion of semi-natural habitats. On the opposite, pest and pathogen infestations were never influenced by the proportion of organic farming while they were negatively influenced by the proportion of semi-natural habitats. Furthermore, at a global scale and for every crop types, organic farming, per se, enhances natural pest control. In viticulture, it is less dependent of synthetic agrochemicals than conventional farming. Moreover, local factors such as the treatment frequency index, the field age and the crop productivity had important effects on natural enemy communities and natural pest control. Finally, we yielded knowledge on processes that impact natural enemy assembly and natural pest control in agrosystems. For vineyards-dominated landscapes, our work suggests some tracks for landscape planning that support biodiversity conservation and natural pest control

Texto completoBiological control through habitat conservation is a way to reduce the reliance on and the impact of insecticide treatments that are numerous and toxic. It is particularly suitable for citrus orchards which include large areas often uncultivated. The natural enemies present in greater number in a vegetal cover are then more easily mobilized during massive attacks of pests on trees. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of different weed management methods (mowing, milling, tillage and herbicide) on plant communities and natural enemies populations within the orchard, focusing on two communities that evolve at two distinct spatial scales: the Phytoseiidae and the Coccinellidae. Our results showed a functional differentiation of vegetal communities managed with different weed management methods over time. Phytoseiidae are present in comparable abundances in all these plant communities but are influenced by the abundance of plant species with densities of moderate trichomes and domaties in the vegetal cover. Similarly, the abundances of Coccinellidae are positively correlated with the abundance of Poaceae species on the plot whereas the weed management modalities have no significant impact. This knowledge has been mobilized and articulated for the development of a decision-making tool prototype contributing to the design of agro-ecological orchards. It allows ex ante evaluation of scenarios of weed management practices in order to optimize biological control by conservation in citrus orchards. We have chosen a functional approach which will easily allow to generalize the tool to other crops by expanding the database with functional traits to non-informed plant species and a good knowledge of the affinities of natural enemies to promote

Texto completoThe use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could be an innovative alternative to chemicals against fungal plant diseases. Our work aimed at studying the possible protective effect of arbuscular mycorrhization in the bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) against Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), a biotrophic fungi responsible of wheat powdery mildew, a disease affecting the aerial plant organs. Wheat mycorrhizal inoculation by Funneliformis mosseae (Fm), under controlled and optimized conditions, allowed us to obtain concomitantly a micorrhizal rate of 38%, a significant increase of plant biomass and a protection level against Bgt estimated at 78%. These results suggest the induction of systemic wheat defense reactions resulting from mycorrhization (Mycorrhiza-Induced Resistance - MIR). This protection is linked to an accumulation of phenolic compounds and hydrogen peroxide at the Bgt penetration sites in epidermal leaf cells of mycorrhized wheat plants. Up-regulations of POX, PAL, NPR1 and CH11 genes encoding for defense markers were also pointed out in leaves of mycorrhizal wheat in the absence of Bgt infection. Moreover, our study highlighted the importance of taking into account various parameters to optimize the use of AMF as biocontrol agents. The highest protection against powdery mildew was obtained with a 5-fold reduced phosphorus input compared to that recommended in the field and with the mycorrhizal inoculum Fm, in both a moderately susceptible or a more resistant cultuva
