Presentation Transcript

  1. Possibilities for Managing Weeds Using Classical Biological Control -Solanum elaeagnifolium Walker Jones, R. Sforza & M.-C. Bon European Biological Control Laboratory ARS, USDA Montferrier-sur-Lez, France

  2. Overseas Biocontrol Labs (OBCL) • Montpellier, France • Hurlingham, Argentina • Beijing, China • Brisbane, Australia

  3. From the East to the West

  4. Why Not Use EBCL’s & Facilities to Initiate a Project in Europe? • The are many invasive weeds from the New World • What would be the best first target?

  5. Solanum elaeagnafolium

  6. Molecular Biology: projects on Lepidium, olive fruit fly, cocoa diseases, etc. • To provide molecular support to ongoing projects • Gene bank investigation • Mitochondrial and nuclear markers available • Choice of genetic marker and sequencing • Identification, Variability, and phylogenetic signal assessments • Analysis

  7. Molecular Evaluation Has Begun Using Plant Samples From: • Greece • North & South Africa • Australia • Argentina • Texas & n. Mexico

  8. Thank You
