“…The field of nanotechnology is focused on the study and control of phenomena and materials and length scale below 100 nm, it means 1-100 nm [413,414]. This definition is not the only one, which tries to define nanotechnology.…”

Members the Potyviridae family belong to a group of plant viruses that are causing devastating plant diseases with a significant impact on agronomy and economics. Plum pox virus (PPV), as a causative agent of sharka disease, is widely discussed. The understanding of the molecular biology of potyviruses including PPV and the function of individual proteins as products of genome expression are quite necessary for the proposal the new antiviral strategies. This review brings to view the members of Potyviridae family with respect to plum pox virus. The genome of potyviruses is discussed with respect to protein products of its expression and their function. Plum pox virus distribution, genome organization, transmission and biochemical changes in infected plants are introduced. In addition, techniques used in PPV detection are accentuated and discussed, especially with respect to new modern techniques of nucleic acids isolation, based on the nanotechnological approach. Finally, perspectives on the future of possibilities for nanotechnology application in PPV determination/identification are outlined.

“…The importance of such pervasive technologies for society has been widely acknowledged (Bresnahan & Trajtenberg, 1995;Keenan, 2003), as their exploitation can 'yield benefits for a wide range of sectors' (Keenan, 2003). GTs are more likely to emerge in fast-paced dynamic environments (Miyazaki, 1994;Maine & Garnsey, 2006;Cantwell & Qui, 2009): semiconductors, biotechnology and nanotechnology are domains that are a priori well-positioned to take advantage of GTs given their wide industrial applications, technological diversity and rate of scientific breakthroughs (Bresnahan & Trajtenberg, 1995;Moser & Nicholas, 2004;Youtie, Iacopetta & Graham, 2008;Shea, Grinde & Elmslie, 2011).…”

International audienceThe objective of this paper is to elucidate an organizational process for the design of generic technologies (GTs). While recognizing the success of GTs, the literature on innovation management generally describes their design according to evolutionary strategies featuring multiple and uncertain trials, resulting in the discovery of common features among multiple applications. This random walk depends on multiple market and technological uncertainties that are considered exogenous: as smart as he can be, the ‘gambler’ must play in a given probability space. However, what happens when the innovator is not a gambler but a designer, i.e., when the actor is able to establish new links between previously independent emerging markets and technologies? Formally speaking, the actor designs a new probability space. Building on a case study of two technological development programmes at the French Center for Atomic Energy, we present cases of GTs that correspond to this logic of designing the probability space, i.e. the logic of intentionally designing common features that bridge the gap between a priori heterogeneous applications and technologies. This study provides another example showing that the usualtrial-and-learning strategy is not the only strategy to design GTs and that these technologies can be designed by intentionally building new interdependences between markets and technologies. Our main result is that building these interdependences requires organizational patterns that correspond to a ‘design of exploration’ phase in which multiple technology suppliers and application providers are involved in designing both the probability space itself and the instruments to explore and benefit from this new space
