Molecular mechanisms underlying plant specialization in the pea aphid complex – Bugspit
Understanding molecular plant-insect interactions to contribute to develop environmentally sound pest control strategies
Nematode Susceptibility Targets for a Durable Resistance – NESTOR
corrupt elementary plant functions and influence defence responses. Identification of plant genes which are [...] affecting plant development will be selected as targets. The nematology labs will first define plant susc [...] lity genes in crop plant candidates and will genotype and phenotype these plants. NESTOR will increase
Bioengineering of terpenoids – TerpFactory
production of plant-derived bioactive natural compounds, Plant Advanced Technologies (PAT). Plants constitute [...] feasibility. The company will define the optimal plant source (plant species, cultivar, source organ) taking into [...] and development platform between the Institute of Plant Molecular Biology of CNRS in Strasbourg (IBMP) and
Regulation of glycerolipids interconversion in plants in response to environmental variations – Reglisse
Lipidome modifications are tightly associated with various additional traits promoted by Pi deficiency. It is<br />therefore difficult to evaluate the real impact of lipidome modifications on plant physiology. This proposal<br />thus circumvents such limitation by using various genetic tools (mutants or drugs identified by a chemical<br />genetic strategy deployed by partners of this proposal) to uncouple glycerolipids remodeling from Pi supply.
Poroelastic couplings in artificial and real plant tissues – ARTIS
mechanics in this complex response of plant to mechanical stresses. When a plant stem or branch is bent, a transient [...] hydraulics in artificial and living plant tissues, and its role in plant mecano-perception and long distance [...] Plants are able to perceive mechanical-stimuli and adapt their development to mechanical perturbations
Application of PAMP Triggered Immunity in Crops – PATRIC
and treating plant diseases with natural products that enhance the defence of plants. In particular [...] , the consortium will exploit plant innate immunity that allows plants to activate resistance responses [...] major groups of plant pathogens and other bioactive compounds able to activate natural plant defence responses
Gravity Perception in Plants: From cell sensing to the biomechanical response – GRAP2
From cell sensing to biomechanical response
Organization of microbial community and fate of pollutants in the rhizosphere – RHIZORG
The type of plant induced spatial changes of the rhizosphere (zone of soil around roots) during their growth. The bacterial communities diversity was structured with depth along the roots. However, the biodegradation of hydrocarbons, although varying depending on the presence or not of plants or with plant types, is not spatially influenced by root activity.
Diversity and Genomics of Nickel hyperAccumulation in plants – EvoMetoNicks
during evolution of higher plants or on the contrary that are more divergent in plant species. Among candidate [...] phytomining are promising technologies that use plants to remove Ni from polluted soil and to extract [...] knowledge on the mechanisms of Ni accumulation in plants. The goal of the EvoMetoNicks project is to improve
Genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics of the host adaptation in Lepidoptera species (Ostrinia spp.) – Adapt-Ome
The project aims to reconstruct the history of ECB populations in Europe, and their shift from wild host plants to recently introduced crops such as corn. We study the genomic and epigenetic mechanisms in natural and experimental populations, where we test the host choice and the success of these plants as a nutrient resource.
