Autoregulation of infection in the rhizobium-legume symbiosis – AOI
Legumes are remarkable in the plant kingdom for their widespread ability to enter a symbiosis with N2-fixing [...] fixed by endosymbiotic bacteria is provided to the plant, in proportion to its needs. The rhizobium-legume [...] overall objective of the project is to decipher the plant and bacterial mechanisms that underlie AOI in the
Emergent viruses and virus vectors in Mediterranean Basin crops – EMERAMB
Emerging plant viral diseases represent a significant burden to plant health, and their highest impact [...] aspects of the ecology and biology of specific plant viruses, providing measures for the management and [...] sustainable strategies for the control of emerging plant viral diseases.
Transcriptional regulation by nucleolar sequestration – NucleoReg
The goal of this project is<br />to demonstrate the role of the nucleolus in genome organization and RNA polymerase II genes expression in plants. The<br />nucleolus is the largest nuclear compartment, implicated in ribosome biogenesis, but where RNA polymerase II is<br />excluded. However, genomic regions that do not contain ribosomal RNA genes associate with the nucleolus (Nucleolus-<br />Associated Domains or NADs). The working hypothesis is that genes are sequestered in the nucleolus to prevent<br />transcription.

Climate change will also alter the plant diseases since the rate [...] and pathogen aggressiveness, interactions between plant resistance traits and abiotic stress tolerance [...] the most substantial impact of climate change on plant productivity. VitiSmart is a 3 years project with
Epigenetic regulations in the development of symbiotic root nodules of legume plants – EPISYM
fixation and nutritional exchanges between the plant and the bacteria take place. While spectacular progress [...] progress has been made on early symbiotic stages (plant-rhizobium recognition, infection and initiation [...] transition, the coordinated differentiation of plant and bacterial cells, in order to generate the a
NLR immune receptors for sustainable disease resistance in cereal crops – ImmuneReceptor

ImmuneReceptor addresses fundamental questions in plant immunity to generate [...] Plant diseases are among the most important problems in agriculture and the use of disease resistance [...] (TIR) domain. Despite intense research on plant NLRs over the last 20 years, many aspects of their
Combination of biocontrol strageties targeting the complex populations of the Pectobacterium and Dickeya bacterial pathogens in potato cultures – COMBICONTROL
considered to be restricted to tropical and subtropical plant hosts and areas. The P. atrosepticum, P. carotovorum [...] induce blackleg and soft rot diseases on potato plants and tubers. Hence, COMBICONTROL will produce basic [...] the Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC)-Saclay Plant sciences (at Gif-sur-Yvette), Institut d’Ecologie
Understanding the mode of action of the symbiosis-specific NF-YA1 Transcription Factor in Medicago truncatula – NODCCAAT
Plants belonging to the legume family are able to interact symbiotically with nitrogen fixing bacteria [...] bacteria named rhizobia, allowing these plants to grow in agricultural systems with low nitrogen inputs and [...] formation of a new organ on the roots of the host plants, called the root nodule, inside which atmospheric
