Modeling of Living Systems
Modeling is now one of the most efficient methodologies in life sciences. From practice to theory, this book develops this approach illustrated by many examples; general concepts and the current state of the art are also presented and discussed. An historical and general introduction informs the reader how mathematics and formal tools are used to solve biological problems at all levels of the organization of life. The core of this book explains how this is done, based on practical examples coming, for the most part, from the author’s personal experience. In most cases, data are included so that the reader can follow the reasoning process and even reproduce calculus. The final chapter is devoted to essential concepts and current developments. The main mathematical tools are presented in an appendix to the book and are written in an adapted language readable by scientists, professionals or students, with a basic knowledge of mathematics.
Biological Control of Plant Diseases
The papers contained in this book were presented at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) held at Cape Sounion, Athens, Greece, 19-24 May, 1991. The twenty-eight more comprehensive papers represent the key subjects of the ARW covered by invited speakers. The thirty-four short papers pre sented in a research format are contributions of those invited to participate in the ARW. There was a total of 70 participants from 21 countries. The objectives of the ARW were as follows: to review current knowledge of biological control of plant diseases and plant parasitic nematodes, with emphasis on mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecosystem level; to examine and expand on current concepts and synthesize new concepts; to identify and prioritize limitations in the use of biological control for plant diseases and nematodes and the scientific research needed to overcome these limitations; and to develop strategies for biological control through management of resident agents or introduction of natural or modified agents.
Iron, Siderophores, and Plant Diseases
The importance of competition for iron in the interactions between saprophytic microorganisms, pathogens and plants has been recognised for almost a decade. This has been reflected i.n an upsurge of publications on the topic over the last five years. Paradoxically, the subject was only touched upon during the International Congress of Plant Pathology held in 1983. In response to this apparent omission, a few of those most closely associated with the topic met one evening during which they resolved to organise a symposium devoted solely to the various aspects of iron uptake and its relation to plant disease. It was my privilege to be asked to undertake the task of convenor. &arly correspondence brought a wealth of positive replies to the proposal, particularly from Bob Schippers in Baarn. With the increasing costs of international symposia the need for a sponsor soon became apparent and an application to NATO was favourabiy received, following helpful advice from Dr. di Lullo, Advanced Research Workshop Programme Director, to whom all the participants in this Workshop owe a debt of gratitude.
Molecular Variability of Fungal Pathogens
This volume contains a series of contributions from established European researchers which consider aspects of molecular variability in fungal pathogens. Chapters are derived from a workshop held in Evian, France, in September 1997, supported by the EU Concerted Action Air 3-CT94-2448. The volume is divided into three sections. The first includes contributions which consider and review the major mechanisms involved, the second details specific studies on variability in populations of different fungal pathogens, and the third includes contributions on methods for interpreting such variability. The workshop was intended to bring together methods and understanding from a wide range of fungal pa...
L'horticulture ornementale française
Face à la concurrence internationale, optimiser la commercialisation des produits français est une étape obligatoire de l'évolution de l'horticulture ornementale en France. Résultat d'une approche commune de chercheurs de différentes disciplines et de la confrontation de leurs analyses avec celles de nombreux acteurs professionnels et institutionnels, cet ouvrage propose au lecteur une réflexion sur les enjeux actuels et futurs et ouvre le débat sur l'avenir de la filière horticole française.

Fruits et légumes
Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une étude menée par des chercheurs de l'Inra, avec la collaboration de nombreux acteurs professionnels et institutionnels impliqués dans les filières fruits et légumes. Il décrit l'organisation de ces filières en France et en analyse les caractéristiques essentielles : consommation, commercialisation, production, transformation, concurrence internationale. L'accent est mis sur les principales sources de préoccupation à prendre en compte pour permettre à ces filières de poursuivre leur développement dans un contexte de concurrence accrue. Cette étude intéressera aussi bien les organismes scientifiques, techniques ou institutionnels, que les structures professionnelles et les établissements d'enseignement.
