abstract = {Biopesticides are pest and pathogen management agents based on living microorganisms or natural products (botanical origin). Due to their natural origins, they stand out as an environmentally friendly tool, since they quickly decompose and minimize pollution problems produced by synthetic pesticides. However, these products present significant challenges that affect the bioactivities of the active components, due to the degradation of the biomass or bioactive metabolite by factors such as air, light, and temperature. Therefore, in this study, a systematic search of the Scopus database was conducted and scientometric tools were used to evaluate formulation techniques and approaches that seek to improve the bioactivities of natural preparations. The results showed that published research on biopesticides has significantly increased by 71.24% in the last decade (2011–2021). Likewise, the bibliometrics showed, through temporal flow analysis, and in the period from 2010 to 2021, investigations evolved have toward the use of nanotechnology, with the purpose of improving and potentiating the formulations of biopesticides. Consequently, nanotechnology tools can be classified as current strategies of interest that allow the increase and protection of bioefficacy to a greater extent than traditional biopesticide preparations. This review constitutes an important contribution to future research and expands the panorama in relation to biopesticide formulations for the control of agricultural pests.},

The prevailing health and biomedical sciences (HBMS) research agenda, not only determined by leading academic institutions but also by large pharmaceutical companies, has been shown to prioritize the exploration of novel pharmacological interventions over the study of the socio-environmental factors influencing illness onset and progression. The aim of this investigation is to quantitatively explore whether and to what extent the prevailing international HBMS research agenda and the key actors setting this agenda influence research in non-core countries.

Methods

We used the Web of Science database and the CorText platform to proxy the HBMS research agenda of a prestigious research institution from Latin America: Argentina’s National Research Council (CONICET). We conducted a bibliometric and lexical analysis of 16,309 HBMS academic articles whereby CONICET was among the authors' affiliations. The content of CONICET’s agenda was represented through co-occurrence network maps of the most frequent concatenation of terms found in titles, keywords, and abstracts. We compared our findings with previous reports on the international HBMS research agenda.

Results

In line with the results previously reported for the prevailing international agenda, we found that terms linked to molecular biology and cancer research hegemonize CONICET’s HBMS research agenda, whereas terms connecting HBMS research with socio-environmental cues are marginal. However, we also found differences with the international agenda: CONICET's HBMS agenda shows a marginal presence of terms linked to translational medicine, while terms associated with categories such as pathogens, plant research, agrobiotechnology, and food industry are more represented than in the prevailing agenda.

Conclusions

CONICET’s HBMS research agenda shares topics, priorities, and methodologies with the prevailing HBMS international research agenda. However, CONICET's HBMS research agenda is internally heterogeneous, appearing to be mostly driven by a combination of elements that not only reflect academic dependency (the adoption of the prevailing research agenda by non-core research institutions) but also local economic determinants associated with Argentina’s place in the international division of labor as an exporter of primary goods.},

abstract = {Growing genetically resistant plants allows pathogen populations to be controlled and reduces the use of pesticides. However, pathogens can quickly overcome such resistance. In this context, how can we achieve sustainable crop protection? This crucial question has remained largely unanswered despite decades of intense debate and research effort. In this study, we used a bibliographic analysis to show that the research field of resistance durability has evolved into three subfields: (1) “plant breeding” (generating new genetic material), (2) “molecular interactions” (exploring the molecular dialogue governing plant–pathogen interactions) and (3) “epidemiology and evolution” (explaining and forecasting of pathogen population dynamics resulting from selection pressure[s] exerted by resistant plants). We argue that this triple split of the field impedes integrated research progress and ultimately compromises the sustainable management of genetic resistance. After identifying a gap among the three subfields, we argue that the theoretical framework of population genetics could bridge this gap. Indeed, population genetics formally explains the evolution of all heritable traits, and allows genetic changes to be tracked along with variation in population dynamics. This provides an integrated view of pathogen adaptation, in particular via evolutionary–epidemiological feedbacks. In this Opinion Note, we detail examples illustrating how such a framework can better inform best practices for developing and managing genetically resistant cultivars.},

abstract = {La reconnaissance de la perte de biodiversité « sauvage » comme un problème public, c’est-à-dire un problème relevant du champ de l’action publique, relève d’une histoire décrite comme principalement internationale et scientifique (Mauz & Granjou, 2010).

Cette histoire met en scène des lanceurs d’alerte académiques actifs dans les années 1970 et 1980, qui parviennent à transformer ce problème initialement scientifique en un problème politique pris en charge dans des espaces de négociation internationaux. À contrario, la reconnaissance de la perte de biodiversité spécifiquement agricole est généralement décrite comme prenant naissance beaucoup plus tôt, au début du XXe siècle, en lien étroit non pas avec l’activité de scientifiques entrepreneurs mais avec des changements importants de régimes de sélection des espèces végétales et animales (Allaire et al., 2018 ; Bonneuil, 2019), qui définissent les modalités de gestion, d’accès et de transformation de ces ressources.

Ces récits ont tous pour point commun de s’intéresser à la mise en politique d’une partie seulement de la biodiversité, à savoir la biodiversité animale ou végétale. Ils laissent ainsi dans l’ombre la mise en politique de la biodiversité des microorganismes, qui représentent pourtant la biomasse la plus importante après les plantes (Bar-Onet al., 2018) et sont tout autant insérés que plantes ou animaux domestiques dans de multiples économies marchandes. Bactéries, levures et moisissures domestiques jouent en effet un rôle important dans toutes les sphères de la vie humaine, que ce soit dans la production d’aliments fermentés comme le pain, le vin ou le fromage, dans la production de composés pharmaceutiques et industriels ou encore dans la restauration des sols. Jusqu’à présent, ce sont principalement les régimes de régulation des microbes pathogènes qui ont été étudiés, par exemple à travers l’histoire de la microbiologie médicale (Löwy, 2015), l’analyse de dispositifs de contrôle des maladies infectieuses (Newsom Kerr, 2017) ou de réseaux de surveillance épidémiologique (Fortané, 2015).},
