Deciphering the molecular switch of seed desiccation tolerance to improve plant stress tolerance – DEswitch
Le projet DEswitch vise à élucider le mécanisme d’activation/inactivation aboutissant à la tolérance à la dessiccation. See Scientific production section Functional validation of candidate genes controlling the desiccation tolerance Malabarba J., Windels D., Xu W., Verdier J. (2021-02-25). Regulatio
Origins of the specialization for reading in the occipitotemporal cortex – TOPLEX
Reading and writing constitute a major invention on which most modern culture is predicated. Understanding how the visual system adapts to the novel, culture-dependent task of identifying written words represents a formidable case study of brain plasticity, at the convergence of psychology, neurosci
Dilute quantum droplets of potassium – Droplets
Quantum fluctuations typically play a major role in strongly correlated materials that have more and more applications. In contrast, quantum fluctuations are usually having a small effect in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) physics because a BEC is in essence a dilute system. However, the objectives o
System Level Understanding of Zinc and Phosphate Signalling Crosstalk – PHLOWZ
A major component of cells, phosphate (Pi) is a strategic resource due to the increasing depletion of high-quality phosphate rocks. To limit its use in crop production, we need a better understanding of the factors stimulating its uptake. Plants in Pi and Zinc (Zn)-poor soils accumulate more Pi than
REsearch DIssemination at UPPA – DIRE III
Starting in 2019, UPPA has committed to a policy of corporate social responsibility based on three objectives: reducing its environmental footprint, the well-being and quality of life of its staff and students, and the societal impact of its research, training and innovation activities. It has defin
Ecole Nationale de l'Enseignement Professionnel Supérieure de l'université Joseph Fourier de Grenoble
L’ÉNEPS termine sa 13e année d’existence, la 10 e dernière avec le label IDEFI. La pérennisation de principe de l’ÉNEPS (post-IDEFI fin 2022), est conditionnée par la validation de l’IDEX, qui a été confirmée par le président de l’Université Grenoble-Alpes (UGA) le 30 juin 2021. Des discu
Predicting speaker's usages in oral French : quantitative, experimental and comparative approaches of syntactic alternation – PULCO
One of the main aims of current work in quantitative and experimental syntax is to identify factors with predictive power on speakers' choices when faced with syntactic alternations, i.e. cases where the speaker has a choice between two or more syntactic structures to express equivalent meanings. Dr
DIAMond instrumentation for pulsed beam MONItoring – DIAMMONI
DIAMMONI aims to develop innovative detectors based on a semiconductor material, diamond, used as a solid ionization chamber with readout electronics (FE) and data acquisition. The main objective is the monitoring of pulsed beams of protons and alpha particles, produced by the ARRONAX cyclotron, in
Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience – BrAIN
Artificial intelligence (AI) with recent progress in statistical machine learning (ML) is currently aiming to revolutionise how experimental science is conducted. In physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience or medicine, data is now the driver of new theoretical insights and new scientific hypothese
Recovery or cell death in stress-exposed bacteria – NOVOREP
Bacteria are frequently exposed to harmful or unfavourable conditions, not only in their natural environment, but also in industrial applications or when exposed to the human defence system or antibiotics. Bacteria have evolved a number of defence, stress response and repair mechanisms, which are cr
