Retroviral-type LTRs as intermediate of the stress response in plants / LTRs de type rétroviral comme intermédiaires de la réponse au stress chez les plantes – LTR-STRESS
research is still largely unchartered in plants, although large plant genomes are highly enriched in TEs (up [...] retrotransposons on plant host genomes, which may be of key significance for plant adaptability to en [...] ry importance of LTR-mediated reprogramming of plant gene expression in response to stress. The proposal
Evolution of the integration between environment and development in land plant – ENVI-DEVO
development of plants and to understand how these mechanisms have evolved through land plant evolution. The [...] land plants. 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
Role of auxin during plant cell infection by an endosymbiotic bacterium – AuxInfection
of the major elements limiting plant production worldwide. Most plants rely on inorganic nitrogen from [...] rhizobia and plants belonging to eight angiosperm families, collectively called actinorhizal plants, that associate [...] differentiation of infected plant cells. We will use molecular markers of plant cell infection including
