Article
Full-text available
Yield is a complex trait reflecting the interaction between genotype, environment and farm management. The challenge of adapting spring crops to climate change involves unravelling the contribution of climatic factors that impact yield performance according to phenological stages. The aim of the present study was to identify the main Environmental...
Preprint
The expansion of soybean cultivation to high-latitude regions is hindered by the adverse effects of dark chilling stress. This study investigates the phenotypic plasticity of soybean in response to dark chilling stress, aiming to identify traits that contribute to adaptation in northern climates. Five soybean cultivars from early maturity groups (0...

In the context of the European protein deficit and the need for climate change mitigation by agriculture, soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) is of major interest to farmers and breeders. Expanding the crop to new cultivation areas requires understanding and control of the Genotype by Environment Interactions (GEI) that impede the genetic gain. New envir...
Article
Full-text available
Deploying crops in regions bordering their initial distribution area requires adapting existing cultivars to particular environmental constraints. In this study, we revealed the main Eco-climatic Factors (EFs)—climatic factors recorded over specific phenological periods—impacting both yields and Genotype by Environment Interactions (GEI) for yield...
Article
Full-text available
Soybean is a candidate crop to increase the independency of Europe in leguminous protein crops. However, its adaptation to northern European regions is not yet well defined due to lack of long-term references. Herein, we simulated soybean yield potential in northern France and identified the main yield limiting factors under rainfed vs irrigated co...

Abstract Cobalt is economically considered as a critical metal. The globally most important Co ore deposits are found within the Katangan Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo), where a great abundance of Cu- and Co-tolerant and accumulator plants have evolved. Cobalt mining activities in this region have disseminated large quantities of wastes...
Preprint
Full-text available
The geochemical behavior of rare earth elements (REE) has been mainly investigated in geological systems where they represent the best proxies for processes occurring at the interface between different media. REE concentrations, normalized with respect to the upper continental crust, were used to assess their behavior. In this study, REE geochemica...
Article
Studies on the relative contribution of inter- and intra-population trait variations in broad-niched species along edaphic gradients are still scarce. Here, we explore the variation of eight traits in five populations of Cyanotis longifolia, a broad-niched metallophyte thriving on very broad gradients of soil copper concentration in Central Africa....
Article
Full-text available
Advances on the ecology and evolution of adaptation to metal toxicity are based on studying metallophytes that are not restricted to soils strongly enriched in trace elements. The evolution of Cu and Co tolerance and accumulation, which principally occurs among the Copperbelt of Central Africa, is poorly known. In this paper, we studied Cu and Co t...
Article
Cobalt (Co) tolerance and accumulation were studied in three Haumaniastrum species: the obligate metallophyte (i.e. the strict endemic) Haumaniastrum robertii, its facultative metallophyte congener, H. katangense, and a species from nonmetalliferous soils, H. villosum. They were grown hydroponically and their growth during Co exposure was monitored...
Chapter
Full-text available
Cobalt is economically considered a critical metal for a variety of technologies. Globally, the most important Co ore deposits occur in the Katangan Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) where a richness of Cu-Co-tolerant and accumulator plants have developed naturally. Cobalt mining there has resulted in the dissemination of large quantities o...
Article
Full-text available
Background and aims Copper (Cu) rich soils derived from rocks of the Katangan Copperbelt in the south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) support a rich diversity of metallophytes including 550 heavy metal tolerant; 24 broad Cu soil endemic; and 33 strict Cu soil endemic plant species. The majority of the plant species occur on prominent Cu...
Article
Divergence in functional traits and their plasticity can occur between metallicolous and non-metallicolous populations, driven by the selective pressure of metal toxicity in metalliferous soils, which is often associated with other edaphic constraints. The intraspecific variation of functional traits and their plasticity in response to cobalt in th...
Article
Full-text available
This review synthesizes contemporary understanding of Cu-Co tolerance and accumulation in plants. Accumulation of foliar Cu and Co to >300 μg g-1 is exceptionally rare globally, and known principally from the Copperbelt of Central Africa. Cobalt accumulation is also observed in a limited number of Ni hyperaccumulator plants occurring on ultramafic...
Article
Full-text available
Background Chemical soil factors play an important role in generating and maintaining plant diversity. Naturally metal-enriched habitats support highly distinctive plant communities consisting of many rare and endemic species. Species of these plant communities possess remarkable physiological adaptations and are now being considered key elements i...
Article
Full-text available
Metal and metalloid (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Pb and Zn) distribution in soils from the Katanga Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) is investigated in order to characterize the environmental impacts of mining and smelting activities in that area. The concentrations of Cu, Co, As, Zn, Pb and Cd in soils from mining sites are higher than in non-metallif...

We report the elaboration of novel bio-sourced ecocatalysts for the Ullmann coupling reaction. Ecocatalysis is based on the recycling of metals issued from phytoremediation or rehabilitation, and an innovative chemical valorization of the subsequent biomass in the field of catalysis. Here, we describe efficient copper accumulation by plants via phy...

Background and aims Among the unique flora on cop-per and cobalt rich soils, some species are able to hyperaccumulate the Cu and Co in their shoots, howev-er, the unexplained high variations of Cu and Co con-centrations in shoots have been highlighted. A good comprehension of the Cu and Co accumulation varia-tions would go through a characterizati...
