Positive Plant-Plant interactions and spatial Patterns in Pyrenean Post-mine tailings – SixP
aims to assess the role of plant-plant interactions in these specific plant communities, both as a key [...] for plant growth (metal toxicity, climatic constraints). In such conditions, positive plant-plant interactions [...] specify the plant functional strategies at stake; and iv) to assess the effect of plant-plant interactions
Deciphering the EVOlution of biopolymers that shape plant apoplastic protective BARriers through the elucidation of underlying metabolic routes – EVOBAR
of their precursors in a selection of plants recapitulating plant land colonization: the charophytes K [...] Land colonization by plants, about 500 million years ago, was one of the most formative evolutionary [...] life forms. Upon transition from water to land, plants have been exposed to new constraints, such as high
Role of plant-endophyte (bacteria and fungi) associations in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation – EndOMiX
La diversité des endophytes bactériens et fongiques du peuplier sera étudiée sur un sol avec une contamination croissance en hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP). La réponse physiologique et métabolique de la plante et des endophytes couplée au suivi du devenir des polluants dans les tissus végétaux nous renseignera sur les interactions et les mécanismes mis en jeu en réponse aux toxiques.

Measuring and mapping the plant virus richness at the ecosystem scale – PHYTOVIRUS
Emergent diseases of plants, a high proportion of which are caused by phytoviruses, are a significant burden on the food security and economic stability of societies. However, no studies have provided a comprehensive view of the geographical distribution of phytovirus diversity to date, including both the numbers or richness of virus species and the evenness of their distribution in any individual environment on Earth.
Adaptability, Origin and Genome Evolution of an Emerging plant-devastating Nematode – AEGONE

Plant-parasitic nematode worms are responsible for ag [...] and are able to infest virtually any cultivated plant. Methods to control these nematodes are sparse.
Redox regulation of plant HDAC activity in response to climate change – REPHARE

Live-tracking rhizobial switch from rhizosphere to plant-confined colonization modes – Live-Switch
Legumes establish a beneficial root nodule-forming nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with rhizobia for improved growth. The early stages of this interaction involve key molecular exchanges and the reprogramming of plant cells for bacterial entry. However, little is known about how rhizobia cope with the drastic shift to a confined host environment at this stage. Live-Switch addresses this question by studying the reprogramming of rhizobia and the dialogue with the plant partner at the single cell level.
