Age-related effects of vegetarian diet on protein and amino acid bioavailability – VegAA
digestibility, plant proteins are generally considered of lower nutritional values. Plant proteins come [...] recommend transitioning towards more sustainable, plant-based diets. While animal proteins are known as [...] acutely. However, the long-term synergetic effects of plant-based foods on adaptation of intestinal functions
Small RNAs in plant-virus-insect vector interactions and trans-kingdom gene silencing – TransRNAi
and inoculation of a new host plant. Likewise, virus-induced mobile plant sRNAs may regulate aphid gene [...] transmission. Finally, the plant genes presumably targeted by viral or virus-induced plant sRNAs, or mobile aphid [...] RNA degradome of plants and aphids fed on virus-infected and control legume plants. We will then use
Evolution-based discovery of symbiotic molecular networks in plants – EVOLSYM
land plants form symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that aid the plant in the [...] impact on plant growth. Establishment of this symbiosis requires a deep re-wiring of the plant secondary [...] earliest diverging land plant lineage, including five associated with the plant metabolism. Here, I propose
Perception of lipo-chitooligosaccharides and roles of their putative receptors in non legumes – LCOinNONLEGUMES
Plants interact with some beneficial soil microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) which provide them with nutrients. These interactions require recognition by plants of chemical signals produced by the microorganism.
Valuing the plant proteins as blends of high nutritional quality for spécific population. Proof of concept with a new product designed for preventing metabolic dysfunctions in the elderly – P-Probs
Modern societies are converging towards Western diets rich in animal products, sugars and saturated fats, combined with low levels of physical activity. Thus in 2050, the growing world population will consume 60% more animal protein. However, the industrialization of livestock farming and its environmental impacts, the rise of chronic diseases and the degraded image of animal industries are questioning the share of animal proteins in our diets.
Fungal appressoria as organs for sensing plant-derived signals and delivering protein and small-molecule effectors to host cells – FUNAPP

Live-tracking rhizobial switch from rhizosphere to plant-confined colonization modes – Live-Switch
Legumes establish a beneficial root nodule-forming nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with rhizobia for improved growth. The early stages of this interaction involve key molecular exchanges and the reprogramming of plant cells for bacterial entry. However, little is known about how rhizobia cope with the drastic shift to a confined host environment at this stage. Live-Switch addresses this question by studying the reprogramming of rhizobia and the dialogue with the plant partner at the single cell level.
Molecular determinism of ecological adaptation and speciation in two strains of the Lepidoptera Spodoptera frugiperda – ADA-SPODO
While a global food crisis threatens, 20 % of crops are eaten by insects. Providing knowledge on insect pest genomes, and on the ability of insects to adapt to different host-plants and to diversify may help deciphering new crop plant protection strategies.
Effects of ozone pollution on plant-pollinator chemical communication under global warming, consequences for their interactions – PolluCom

In these interactions, [...] host recognition by pollinators relies on plant emission and perception of floral odors, a complex blend [...] years. As knowledge of factors that can affect plant and pollinator health is the basis for biodiversity
New apocarotenoid plant growth regulators and their role in climatic stress tolerance – ApoStress
