Identification of new plant susceptibility factors whose modification would confer recessive virus resistance and application in barley, tomato and melon – ViReCROP
major goals in plant research. 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
Mechano-sensing of mechanical oscillations by plants: frequency sensing and accommodation – Senzo
acclimation of plants to wind. . The ambition of Senzo is to make a shifting-up in plant biomechanics and [...] phenotype of mutants and transgenic plants. Two contrasted plant systems will be studied, Arabidopsis [...] and hardening for plant breeding or ii) innovating chemical-free controls of plant growth and aspect
Manipulation du système génétique des mitochondries dans les cellules végétales – MITOMANIP
manipulate plant mitochondrial genetics in vitro, in plant cell suspensions and in whole plants. We expect [...] respiratory chain or contribute to its biogenesis. In plants, mitochondrial genetic processes are complex and [...] great agronomical importance, including fertility, plant vigor, chloroplast function and cross-compatibility
Intergrative Systems Analysis of the shoot apical Meristem – ISAM
and, since plant growth arises from the repeated production of new organs as the plant grows, the SAM [...] for specifying all aboveground plant tissues. It therefore determines plant architecture and, indirectly [...] patterns are produced at the growing tip of the plant shoot using combined modelling and experimentation
Molecular dissection of mycorrhizal signalling during establishment of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis – MycSignalling
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plants have significant effects on plant biodiversity and carbon cycling [...] hormonal role of strigolactones in plants, the consequences on plant development of a putative control [...] discovery that strigolactones, which are secreted by plant roots, are root-recognition signals for AM fungi
Identification de gènes clés de la résistance quantitative à la bactérie pathogène Xanthomonas campestris chez Arabidopsis thaliana par analyse QTL et génétique d'association – Quantirex
threat for crops and natural plant populations. A major challenge in plant breeding is to identify the [...] molecular bases for natural resistance variation in plant species. The identification of genes underlying [...] occurring in certain varieties or accessions of plants in response to certain isolates or races of a pathogen
Root enhancement for crop improvement – ROOT
The plant root system is an important yet underscored agronomic trait. Plant roots perform many essential [...] cereal plant. We selected barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) as an important European cereal crop plant. Spain [...] barley plants with an enhanced root system based on knowledge recently gained in model plants. · Understand
Iridoïdes naturels, source de chiralité-2009 - Chiral pool from natural iridoïds (2009) – IRNA-CHIR-2009
From biodiversity to molecular diversity
Light stress in plants: singlet oxygen signalling – PHOTOX
to provide new data on light stress in plants, on the way plants respond and acclimate to this stress by [...] Light is essential for plants through photosynthetic carbon assimilation. However, when solar energy [...] This project is centered on 1O2 signalling in plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) during high light stress
