The European “Plant Health Directive” [...] basin both by the introduction of infected plants and planting material through official routes and via [...] rutaceaous plants in the Mediterranean region; WP2- Evaluation of rutaceous ornamental plants for difference
Acrostyle in aphid stylets: a key for crop protection – StylHook
aphid moves from plant to plant. Most often, viruses are both acquired from infected plants and inoculated [...] play a key role in plant/aphid interactions, likely by binding compounds from the plant sap or from the [...] and provoke significant losses, not only reducing plant growth by deprivation of nutrients, but also and
Assessment of stimulators for plant vitality – ESTIM

Thanks to this unique property, legume plants can increase nitrogen content [...] Nitrogen is limiting for plant growth, which explains the massive use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture
Educational and Interactive Plant Recognition for Smartphone Software – ReVeRIES
The urbanization of society has gradually separated humans from the plant world. For most people, botany remains difficult to understand. It is not easy to decrypt botanical literature because it requires solid theoretical background.<br />In the ReVeRIES project (French acronym that means “dreams” and that stands for Educational, Interactive and Fun Plant Recognition on Smartphones), we propose to use mobile technologies in order to help humans recognize plants that surround them.
Identification and characterization of plant factors that counteract bacterial-mediated suppression of RNA silencing – PRIM

Climate change effects on volatile plant compound emissions and their impact on insect olfaction – ODORSCAPE
Volatile organic compounds emitted by vegetation play major roles as infochemicals. Insects for instance extract the cues essential for their reproduction from their olfactory environment. Future odorscapes in agroecosystems and associated ecosystem services will depend on the sensitivity of plant volatile production to global change. Odorscape aims at: 1) evaluating the effects of global change components on emission of volatiles by plants; 2) analyzing the impacts on insect olfaction.
