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
Overseas Biocontrol Labs (OBCL)
1. Montpellier, France
2. Hurlingham, Argentina
3. Beijing, China
4. Brisbane, Australia
From the East to the West
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?
Solanum elaeagnafolium
To provide molecular support to ongoing projects
Molecular Biology: projects on Lepidium, olive fruit
fly, cocoa diseases, etc.
• Gene bank investigation
• Mitochondrial and nuclear markers available
• Choice of genetic marker and sequencing
•Identification, Variability, and phylogenetic signal assessments
• Analysis
Molecular Evaluation Has Begun Using Plant Samples From:
• Greece
• North & South Africa
• Australia
• Argentina
• Texas & n. Mexico
Thank You
