- The role of organic acids in buffering pH in surface waters has been studied using a small brownwater stream (26mgL-1 TOC) draining a forested catchment in Northern Sweden. Under the conditions of elevated pressure of CO2 stream field pH was changed between 3.5 and 6.1 during the acidification and alkalinization experiment. Acid-base characteristics of the natural organic matter were also determined using a high precision potentiometric method for a concentrated sample from the same stream. We compared the predictions from the Windermere Humic Aqueous Model (WHAM Model V), a model derived from the potentiometric titration (diprotic/monoprotic acid model) and a previously derived triprotic acid model which only uses alkalinity and TOC as input variables. The predicted buffering characteristics of all three models are very similar in the pH range 4.5-7 which suggests that during routine analysis alkalinity and TOC are sufficient to give a good estimate of organic acid anion charge contribution in a large range of surface waters. A slightly adjusted version of WHAM V successfully describes the organic charge contribution in a large number of sampled surface water lakes, which were previously used to calibrate the triprotic model.

- Colletotrichum acutatum and Phytophthora cactorum are two of the most important pathogens of strawberry in Europe, and particularly in France. The characterization of quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling resistances to these two pathogens would allow a better knowledge of the genetic architecture of these resistances in order to develop durable resistance. A pseudo-testcross strawberry population derived from the cross between Capitola and CF1116 was used for detecting QTLs associated with C. acutatum and P cactorum resistances. One hundred and eighty five individuals were inoculated with C. acutatum by dipping cold stored plants in a conidial suspension adjusted to 2.10(6) conidia per ml. They were also inoculated separately with P cactorum by inserting an agar disk containing mycelium into the crown. Each inoculation was conducted twice. Putative QTLs for resistance to C acutatum and P cactorum were identified by Interval Mapping (Mapmaker-QTL) using a LOD threshold of 2.
