Abstract: Let k be a field of characteristic q, cac a smooth geometrically connected curve defined over k with function field K:=k(cac). Let A/K be a non constant abelian variety defined over K of dimension d. We assume that q=0 or >2d+1. Let peq be a prime number and cacocac a finite geometrically extsc{Galois} and 'etale cover defined over k with function field K:=k(cac). Let (au,B) be the K/k-trace of A/K. We give an upper bound for the -corank of the extsc{Selmer} group extSelp(AimesKK), defined in terms of the p-descent map. As a consequence, we get an upper bound for the -rank of the extsc{Lang-N'eron} group A(K)/auB(k). In the case of a geometric tower of curves whose extsc{Galois} group is isomorphic to , we give sufficient conditions for the extsc{Lang-N'eron} group of A to be uniformly bounded along the tower.
