Two new species of Cunonia (Cunoniaceae) from New Caledonia
Open-pollinated seed orchards of European and Japanese larch produce mixed progenies combining a highly variable proportion of hybrids along with pure parental species. For several reasons, it is desirable to identify and to sort out hybrids from the pure species at the seedling stage. Taxa identification of 1- to 2-year-old seedlings was attempted...

Cependant, la production des vergers à graines ne permet pas toujours de satisfaire les besoins des marchés nationaux. L'importation de matériels forestiers de reproduction constituerait une solution mais cela suppose l'acquisition de connaissances sur les perf...

A major objective of breeders using the Ogu-INRA cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) system in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is to obtain double low restorer lines with a shorter introgression and a good agronomic value. The development of low glucosinolate content (low GC) restorer lines often occurs through the deletion of a part of the introgression...
