Local co-circulation of multiple phylogenetic lineages is particularly likely for rapidly evolving pathogens in the current context globalisation. When different co-occur same fields, they may be simultaneously present host plant (i.e. mixed infection), with potentially important consequences disease outcome. This case Burkina Faso rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV), which endemic to Africa and a major constraint on production. We aimed decipher distinct RYMV isolates that infect single...

Co-occurrence of multiple diseases and co-infection individual plants by various pathogens have potential epidemiological evolutionary implications. Based on previous information the co-occurrence rice yellow mottle disease (caused virus, RYMV) bacterial leaf streak (BLS, due to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, Xoc) in Burkina Faso, experimental evidence interactions between causing these two diseases, we aimed monitor more intensively farmers fields. To this purpose, selected fields...

Broomrapes (Phelipanche and Orobanche spp.) witchweeds (Striga are parasitic weeds that increasingly threatening crops worldwide. Seeds of these species rely on host-derived signals such as strigolactones to germinate. While cytokinins were also reported germination inducers witchweeds, their role during broomrapes remains unexplored. Our study shows some but not all stimulate Striga hermonthica independently strigolactones, high concentrations bioactive trigger seedlings differentiate into...

The rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a model in plant molecular epidemiology, with the reconstruction of historical introduction routes at scale African continent. However, information on patterns viral prevalence and diversity over multiple years local remains scarce, spite potential implications for crop protection. Here, we describe 5-year (2015-9) monitoring RYMV six sites from western Burkina Faso (geographic areas Bama, Banzon, Karfiguela). It confirmed one irrigated site as disease...

Abstract BACKGROUND Phelipanche ramosa L. (Pomel) is a noxious parasitic weed in field and vegetable crops Mediterranean countries. Control of this pest complex far from being achieved, new environmentally‐friendly strategies are sought. The present study evaluates the possibility using (±)‐catechins as natural herbicide against broomrapes. RESULTS results show that have no effect on GR24‐induced germination over wide concentration range (10 −4 to 10 −10 m ), nor radicle elongation after...

ABSTRACT The rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a model in plant molecular epidemiology and phylogeography, with the reconstruction of historical introduction routes at scale African continent. However, information on patterns viral prevalence diversity over multiple years local remain scarce, spite potential implications for crop protection. Here we describe five-years monitoring RYMV six sites from western Burkina Faso. This study confirmed one irrigated site as disease hotspot, found two...
