Plant manganese nutrition for optimal photosynthesis and growth – PlantMan
The project aims at understanding the mechanisms that enable plant to capture manganese, an essential nutrient, from soils and bring it to the photosynthetic centers where it plays a critical role in producing dioxygen from water and convert solar energy to chemical energy for the cell.
Manganese uptake in Arabidopsis : genomic analysis and regultory networks – MANOMICS
Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient in plants and hence limits their growth in the large areas of soil where it is scarce. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie and control Mn acquisition is a prerequisite to develop plants that are better adapted to Mn deficiency.
The plant TOR pathway: impact on translation – TRANSLATOR
Mecanistic studies of signaling pathways involving the TOR protein and its link with protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Towards Safer Plant Genetic Resources through improved viral diagnostics – SafePGR
Resources Centres (BRCs) of cultivated plants aim at distributing plant germplasm to the international community [...] breeding programmes with certified pathogen-free plant material. In European outermost tropical and su [...] crops. Sanitization methods exist for cleaning plants from viruses. They display various levels of e
Plant sex determination: functional characterization of the monoecy and gynoecy genes in Cucurbitaceae. – MELODY

Ecological significance of quorum quenching in the rhizosphere and plant environments – ECORUM
searched for in a broad range of legume plants. Mutants or plant lines expressing RNAi affected in the [...] delivery of plant mutant or RNAi legume lines at the end of the proposed project, only model plants expressing [...] axes. The first one deals with the ability of some plants of the legume clad to degrade some of the QS signals
Dissecting the regulation of lateral root formation by phosphate – EmPhos
Plants can alter their root system growth depending on the environment where they grow. This adaptation includes the production of numerous so-called lateral roots. This mechanism is modulated by the environmental conditions.
Developmental and environmental control of cell proliferation in plants. – ARABIDOSTART

With this proposal we focus on the plant-specific molecular [...] control in the model plant Arabidopsis that is based on the degradation of the plant CDK inhibitor proteins [...] instance for generation of the global biomass of land plants with about 600 billion tons of carbon.

Auxin-dependent dynamics of cell wall xyloglucans – AuxiWall
In this project we want to identifiy the actors of biosynthesis and remodeling of Xyloglucan that are controled by the Auxin and how does this fine tuning of cell wall structure does impact physical properties of the cell wall and consequently the cell elongation.
Mobilisation of soil phytate : what are the keys to unlock phosphorus from this treasure ? – UNLOCKP

However, P is taken up by plants and microorganisms only as [...] known to provide the host plant with phosphorus not directly available to plant roots, (ii) the free bacteria [...] myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytate). To be used by plants and soil microorganisms, the phosphate group of
