Abstract:
... 'Angelys' is a new pear variety resulting from the cross 'Doyenné d’Hiver' x 'Doyenné du Comice'. This cross is part of a large breeding programme initiated by B. Thibault and L. Hermann at the INRA Fruit Breeding Station; this programme is a half-diallel involving 12 parents, 68 progenies and 10,626 seedlings with the aim to select late maturing cultivars with long storage ability. The female par ...

Abstract:
... Among other elements of the natural environment, soil greatly influences vine behaviour and berry composition. Its influence is complex, because soil affects vine water and mineral uptake, as well as temperature in the root zone. In this research, investigations were undertaken to assess whether vine development and grape quality potentiel could be linked to specific soil types. 15 dry farmed plot ...

Abstract:
... Soil structure is a key characteristic of soil functioning. More, silt and clay-sized organo-mineral fractions are usually considered as the most reactive soil fractions. As transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) appeared to be well-suited to study soil microstructures, it was used to test the sensitivity of micro-aggregates to land use and cultivation practices. The aims of this study were ther ...

In France it triggered an unprecedented coastal flooding event, with most human and material damage concentrated on the Atlantic coast in the Vendée and Charente Maritime region. A range of reforms and measures followed to manage the risk of coastal flooding at the local and national levels.  ...

Abstract:
... We previously demonstrated the success of in vitro embryo production (IVP) in Lidia breed cattle (Gamarra Lazo et al. 2017 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 30, 187). As in other species, the success of IVP is linked to the birth of calves from this technique. In the Lidia breed, an important factor to consider is the use of Lidia recipients in order to keep the temperament characteristic of this breed to next ...

Abstract:
... The reduction of the generation gap has become of main interest in the race for the genetic improvement of cattle and in reducing the environmental impact of dairy farms. Sexual precocity of high genetic merit heifers is therefore essential, as it allows the development of their potential as soon as possible thanks to embryo collection. Many factors influence the sexual precocity and embryos produ ...

Many studies have shown that intensive agricultural practices significantly increase the nitrogen concentration of stream surface waters, but it remains difficult to identify, quantify, and differentiate between terrestrial and in‐stream sources or sinks of nitrogen, and rates of transformation. In this study we used the δ¹⁵N‐NO₃ signature in a watershed dominated by agriculture as an integrating ...
