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
Characterization of DspA-induced cell death in Arabidopsis – DspCellDeath
allowing the secretion in the plant apoplast or the injection into the plant cells of proteinaceous effectors [...] transcriptome. To localize DspA inside the plant cell, transgenic plants expressing an oestradiol-inducible GFP-DspA [...] bacterial disease of Maloideae, a tribe of Rosaceous plants that includes Apple. The causal agent is the e
DELLA-mediated regulation of plant growth and oxidative stress tolerance: A role for ROS? – DELLAROS
Unlike animals, plants cannot escape adverse environments just by moving away. Plants live in fixed locations [...] delays plant life-cycle and decreases yields. Therefore, understanding mechanisms regulating plant growth [...] controlling plant form. The proposed research aims to determine whether GA-mediated plant growth and stress
Metabolic mapping of gene families : a new strategy for the discovery of overlooked pathways – METAMAP
description of plant metabolites and of their biosynthetic pathways. Recent knowledge acquired on plant genomes [...] the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We used the largest multigene family involved in plant metabolism [...] overlooked aspects of plant secondary metabolism, in a first step in A. thalania and plants with sequenced genomes
Mode of action of the GALA type III effectors that enable Ralstonia solanacearum to subvert Arabidopsis UBIquitin/proteasome system to promote bacterial wilt – GALA-RUBI
Gram negative plant pathogenic bacteria hrp genes are essential for the establishment of plant disease. These [...] proteins into plant cells. These proteins, known as effectors, are the primary determinants for plant diseases [...] degraded in the plant cell by GALA6 and GALA7. A candidate target, potentially involved in plant innate immunity
Roles of recombination and DNA repair in telomere maintenance and chromosome stability. – teloplante
essential role in plant development and the word "apoptosis" itself comes from plant biology, there is [...] telomere maintenance and chromosomal stability in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Telomeres are the specialised [...] we are actively studying these processes in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Studies in many organisms
Facteurs d'origine végétale et animale impliqués dans la transmission des phytovirus par puceron – Virus-vection
their transmission process. In the plant, characterization of plant proteins involved in aphid transmission [...] determinants involved in vector-transmission of plant viruses have been extensively studied over the last [...] decades. However, the counterpart of such studies (plant and vector determinants) has been largely overlooked
Mécanismes moléculaires de la compartimentation des métaux chez les cellules végétales – DISTRIMET
addresses the issue of metal distribution in plant cells. Plant metal nutrition impacts crop yields on soils [...] the molecular basis for Fe uptake by plants and Fe storage in plant chloroplast. Associated groups provide [...] stresses will be useful to improve plant resistance and improve plant yield in sub optimal conditions.
The subfamily of PPR336 : a possible role in plant mitochondrial translation. – SUPPR
(PPR) proteins are encoded by a huge gene family in plants. They are also present in others eukaryotes but [...] Their function was recently associated with various plant specific post-transcriptionnal processes in organelles [...] gene expression and its regulation. However, in plant mitochondria, they are also the steps of gene expression
