In this review, after giving some figures on the economic impact of aphids on agricultural
production, we describe the different mechanisms leading to yield losses (direct damage due to …

Many agricultural landscapes are characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity and
fragmentation. Landscape ecology focuses on the influence of habitat heterogeneity in space …

Background In order to select for quantitative plant resistance to pathogens, high throughput
approaches that can precisely quantify disease severity are needed. Automation and use of …

Plant viruses are submitted to narrow population bottlenecks both during infection of their
hosts and during horizontal transmission between host individuals. The size of bottlenecks …

Owing to their evolutionary potential, plant pathogens are able to rapidly adapt to genetically
controlled plant resistance, often resulting in resistance breakdown and major epidemics in …

An understanding of the evolution of pathogen quantitative traits in response to host selective
pressures is essential for the development of durable management strategies for resistant …

A simulator (Wa-LiD) was developed to simulate the reflection of LiDAR waveforms from water
across visible wavelengths. The specific features of the simulator include 1) a geometrical …

The self-discharge mechanism of LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.6 O 4 , investigated by electrochemical
methods, is mostly attributed to oxidative electrolyte decomposition due to the high lithium (de-)…

The breakdown of plant virus resistance genes is a major issue in agriculture. We investigated
whether a set of resistance genes would last longer when stacked into a single plant …

The management of genes conferring resistance to plant–pathogens should make it possible
to control epidemics (epidemiological perspective) and preserve resistance durability (…
