SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Food Processing Plants - Emphasis on meat processing plants – SACADA
Circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in meat processing plants
Plant traits and aquatic ecosystem functioning under climate change – PONDS
aquatic plants in their resistance to the thermal constraints of their habitat combined to plant-plant in [...] Climate change strongly affects wetlands and their plant communities. It leads to temperature increase which [...] through the alteration of biotic interactions, the plant species performances. Project PONDS aims at determining
Function of the LEAFY floral regulator before flowers – BEFLORE
how plant architecture is established. While these mechanisms are well studied in flowering plants, how [...] changes underpinning morphological innovations. Plant architecture is determined by the activity of meristems [...] how meristems form in other plant groups and have acquired new identities during evolution remains largely
Advanced METallophore characterization by HYphenated techniques in the Soil-microorganisms-plants Ternary Environmental Systems – AMETHYSTES
of crop plants is a critical issue as deficiencies are very common in populations where plant-based nutrition [...] two model species, a higher plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) and a primitive plant (a moss, Physcomitrella patens) [...] effective strategy followed by microorganisms and plants is to release specific chelating molecules, which
Divide&Connect: Building up cell-cell continuity during plant cell division – DIVCON
network at the plant body level, a situation unique to plants. While PD are indispensable for plant growth and [...] role in plant growth and fitness, organ and tissue differentiation and development, and in plant responses [...] essential process for all living organisms. In plants, unlike in most other eukaryotes, division does
Puzzling out the role of plant and fungal laccases with auxiliary enzymes during polymerization and depolymerization of lignin in a polysaccharide environment – DEOX
polysaccharide matrix of the plant cell wall. The lignin deposition makes the plant biomass highly recalcitrant [...] hydroxycinnamic acid-grafted plant cell walls. During this project, an innovative plant material will be produced: [...] differences between fungal and plant laccases, high yield production of plant laccases in heterologous expression
Plant tolerance to RNA viruses: molecular and genetic determinants – GreenTolerance
that optimizes plant fitness while allowing the virus to propagate; this differs from plant resistance, [...] severe damage to cultivated crops. By contrast, wild plants are often ‘tolerant’: i.e., free of disease symptoms [...] virus to escape the defenses. The determinants of plant tolerance to RNA viruses are poorly understood.
Exploring the Extent, Routes and Fate of Horizontal Transfers In Plant Nuclear Genomes – EXOTICA

These studies will refine the criteria for screening plants potentially with [...] capacity of the selected plants to decontaminate the soil. In addition, cultivated plants (outside of any agronomic
