Ascochyta blights consistently affect large areas of grain legume production (pea, lentil, chickpea and faba bean) in all countries where they are cultivated. These diseases are capable of causing large yield losses. This book considers the state-of-the-art by taking a comparative approach of Ascochyta blight diseases of cool season food and feed legumes. Topics considered are pathogen diversity, legume genetics and breeding, and integrated disease management.
In analyzing the fisheries sector this book explores key issues relating to the EU polity as a whole, including the distribution of power, the representation of interests at national and transnational levels, the allocation of budgets and resources, and the EU's place as an actor on the global stage. In this way Lequesne uses the Common Fisheries Policy to provide a varied illustration of European policy in action. The scholarship is based on high quality primary research, carefully conducted and articulated. The result is a fascinating insight into the fisheries sector which reveals broader characteristics of the EU.
Cet ouvrage, clair et pédagogique, fait le point sur les méthodes utilisées en amélioration des plantes ces dernières années. Il rappelle tout d'abord les principes généraux et les méthodes de génétique et d'amélioration des plantes. Il propose ensuite cinquante fiches de présentation de plantes cultivées. Pour chaque plante présentée : une synthèse sur l'histoire de l'espèce et les innovations marquantes en matière de création variétale (principales étapes de l'amélioration génétique, perspectives à envisager, données sur l'inscription et la protection des variétés), des illustrations de la plante entière et des produits de la récolte. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux enseignants, aux étudiants, aux professionnels des semences et à toute personne qui s'intéresse à l'amélioration des plantes.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Climate change will severely impact the world’s food supply unless steps are taken to increase crop resilience. Otherwise, the negative effects on both the yield and the quality of crop plants are predicted to be immense. Plant genomics is a potentially powerful defense against this looming threat. This compendium volume offers a global perspective on the topic, with contributions from 42 eminent researchers from 12 nations around the world. The editor is a respected and published scientist in the bioinformatics field, who has chosen articles in the following topics: An overview of the genetic challenges presented by climate change A genomic toolkit for crop-related research Specific methods of improvement for specific crop by means of genomic applications The hand-picked up-to-date research makes this volume an excellent reference not only for university-level academics, but also for policymakers and stakeholders who must tackle the challenge of the world’s food security.
