Molecular mechanisms underlying plant specialization in the pea aphid complex – Bugspit
Understanding molecular plant-insect interactions to contribute to develop environmentally sound pest control strategies
Natural chitin-related bio-stimulators for sustainable agriculture – NICE CROPS
Plants have evolved intricate and sensitive mechanisms to discriminate beneficial and harmful microorganisms via the signals that microorganisms produce. These include chitin-related molécules: chitinoligosaccharides (COs) et lipochitinoligosaccharides (LCOs) with huge potential for sustainable agriculture, because of their abilities to enhance plant nutrition and growth, and to incite plants to defend themselves against pests.
Cracking the code of transcriptional regulation: the key to the past and future evolution of plants – Plant-TFcode
understand existing plant biodiversity and to attempt the rational modification of plant characteristics [...] biochemical interactions of four plant-specific TFs in the present-day model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. • To [...] level throughout the flowering plants. • To prove that we can modify plant form in subtle and useful ways
Risk assessment of introduction of Xanthomonas citri subsp citri through commercial trade of ornamental rutaceous plants in the Mediterranean basin – ORPRAMed
infected yet symptomless plant material and plant pathogen vectors. The European “Plant Health Directive” [...] basin both by the introduction of infected plants and planting material through official routes and via [...] rutaceaous plants in the Mediterranean region; WP2- Evaluation of rutaceous ornamental plants for difference
Biological Products for Plant Protection – BioPlantProtec
BioPlantProduct laboratory aims to develop a collaborative research platform involving the Plant Research [...] natural environment of plants in the soil (rhizosphere) or on the aerial plant tissues (phyllosphere) [...] resistance of plants to microbial pathogens. Research projects conducted in the frame of the BioPlantProtec
Identification of new plant susceptibility factors whose modification would confer recessive virus resistance and application in barley, tomato and melon – ViReCROP

About half of the ~200 known virus resistance genes in plants are recessively [...] to plant viruses generated by the participating teams, we propose the identification of new plant su [...] Plant viruses are responsible for a significant proportion of crop diseases and are very difficult to
Evolution of the integration between environment and development in land plant – ENVI-DEVO

We will take advantage of new genetic tools developed in P. patens to create plants in which [...] sessile life style and an indeterminate growth, land plants constantly adapt their development to environmental
Advanced METallophore characterization by HYphenated techniques in the Soil-microorganisms-plants Ternary Environmental Systems – AMETHYSTES
of crop plants is a critical issue as deficiencies are very common in populations where plant-based nutrition [...] two model species, a higher plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) and a primitive plant (a moss, Physcomitrella patens) [...] effective strategy followed by microorganisms and plants is to release specific chelating molecules, which
Deciphering the EVOlution of biopolymers that shape plant apoplastic protective BARriers through the elucidation of underlying metabolic routes – EVOBAR
of their precursors in a selection of plants recapitulating plant land colonization: the charophytes K [...] Land colonization by plants, about 500 million years ago, was one of the most formative evolutionary [...] life forms. Upon transition from water to land, plants have been exposed to new constraints, such as high
Strigolactone (and/or derived molecules) signalling pathways in land plants – StrigoPath
