Basic mechanisms balancing plant growth-defense tradeoffs, and influence of global warming – BUGSTER
understand plant developmental processes in the face of plant immunity but will also understand plant defense [...] pathways in plants is a century-old question that was empirically formulated as the “dilemma of plants”. The [...] Plants must grow fast enough to compete with their neighbors, while surviving in the presence of pathogens
Enhancing nutrient use efficiency through legumes in agro-ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin – CROSYMED
input agrosystems through the management of plant-plant and plant-microbe interactions. The nitrogen fixing [...] case in Mediterranean agrosystems, plant-plant interactions and plant-microbes (rhizobacteria and mycorrhiza) [...] diversity of crops, with uniform and symmetrical planting layouts. They largely rely on the utilization
Plant-pathogen interaction: impact of small temperature increases and contribution of calcium signaling – CaPPTure
allowing plants to cope with future epidemics and to develop, for instance new products for plant protection [...] affect plant growth and ultimately productivity worldwide. While some genetic components of plant responses [...] calcium sensors, specific to plants, constitutes an emerging field in plant signaling research area and
Role of extracellular vesicles in plant-microbe interactions – Exosomes
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from cells by the fusion of multivesicular bodies (endosomes) with the plasma membrane. Although they are implicated in intercellular transport of sRNAs and proteins in animals and plants, very little is known about EV composition or functions in filamentous fungi.
Trade off in rhizobia-legumes interactions, influence of immunity and defense of legumes on symbiosis and vice versa – TrolesInfidels
associated with typical plant defence reactions as the ones that are usually observed in plant tissues massively [...] directly involved in plant productivity, i.e. the symbiotic efficiency and the plant immunity, we think [...] associating with soil bacteria referred to as rhizobia, plants of the legume family are able to compensate the
Endogenous viral elements: role in virus evolution and functions in plants – EVENTS
functions in plants. EVENTS will create automated computational tools to search for these EVEs in plant genomes [...] impacts of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) on plant metabolism. EVEs are viral sequences that are integrated [...] integrated in the genomes of their hosts. In plants, most characterized EVEs originate from viruses in
Bio-engineering of terpenoids – TerpFactory Consolidation
the company Plant Advanced Technologies (PAT, Nancy) and of the CNRS Institute of Plant Molecular Biology [...] slow growing-plant of semi-desert African ecosystems. The overexploitation of this plant in its natural [...] new plant species using PAT dedicated technologies without massively exploiting the African plant species
Succession of microbial assemblages during seed development – SEEDS

Since reducing [...] reducing use of agrochemicals in plant protection and plant nutrition is a key objective for sustainable [...] in the transmission of microorganisms from one plant generation to another and consequently act as a
Strategic preemptive pathogen surveillance of air and water to anticipate plant disease emergence in scenarios of changing land use – SPREE
Human, Veterinary and Plant Pathology. Surveillance for the detection of plant diseases and the subsequent [...] economic resources in Europe and elsewhere. Current plant disease surveillance plans of national and international [...] surveillance plans do not monitor dissemination of plant pathogens by the natural “highways” of air and surface
A polyvalent apoplastic barrier-integrity signaling pathway: Mechanistic elucidation and physiological implications. – MIND-THE-GAP
Extracellular diffusion barriers are central to plant survival and stress resistance: Large parts of the [...] our planet have been successfully colonised by plants. The exit of photo-synthetic organisms from their [...] dry-land adapted life cycles seen in extant higher plants required numerous evolutionary innovations. Key
