Soil nematode functional traits: their role to optimize plant access to phosphorus – O-NEMATO-P
Phosphorus (P) is a fundamental element for plants. The depletion of the mineral P reserves as a chemical [...] the rhizosphere, nematodes can greatly improve plant P availability from these poorly-available P sources [...] biological beneficial actors for the increase in plant P availability has so far been largely neglected
Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the tolerance and accumulation of metals in a metal-hypertolerant green microalga of the Coelastrella genus – DemoniaCo
understanding of the effects of toxic elements on land plants and microalgae is critical to develop approaches [...] Deciphering these strategies may indicate how plants/algae might behave in contamination scenario and [...] hypothesis, it is known that some metal-tolerant land plants and microalgae have established efficient strategies
The high-resolution landscapes in rice meiotic recombination – LANDSREC
meiocyte during meiosis prophase. In flowering plants in particular, however, these exchanges remain [...] limit access to beneficial allele combinations in plant breeding. The factors regulating the localization [...] COs on the other, mainly identified in the model plant Arabidopsis, are respectively the accessibility
Plant microbiomes in sustainable viticulture – PROSIT
sanitized grapevine plants, either by grafting or direct inoculation of culturable fraction Plant response will [...] culturally important crop. As a woody perennial plant, grapevine is particularly sensitive to environmental [...] correlated to the physiological characterization of plants, including optogenetical measurements of the stress
Innovative biofertilizers boosting yield of cereals and horticultural crops under global climate change: Toward Sustainability of Agricultural systems against the Climate Change in arid zones – Sus-Agri-CC
essential plant and soil sciences must be connected to innovative applications in agriculture and plant cultivation [...] climate change and shifting arable land ranges, plant and soil sciences play a primordial role in finding [...] biofertilizers (compost and microorganisms) that boost plant yield, quality or even novel functionality, and
Unraveling phosphate signaling by developing whole plant Live Transcriptional IMaging – ULTIM
abstract Transcriptional control is essential for plants to adapt to ambient fluctuations. By implementing [...] transcriptional control triggered by an essential plant macronutrient: phosphate. We will address the f [...] renew our vision of transcriptional regulation from plants to metazoans.
Controlled spatial prOximity for iNnovating enzymatic Cascades to Enhance biomass deconstRucTiOn – Concerto
alternative energy sources (solar, wind, nuclear), plant biomass is one of the main options to replace fuel [...] fuel for transportation sector. Thus, plant biomass is projected to play an important role in this European [...] microorganisms are able to metabolize and recycle plant-derived organic carbon. They achieve this by using
Understanding the ion flux network in Arabidopsis guard cells to control gas exchanges – NetFlux
essential elements for plant adaptation to the environment directly impacting plant biomass production and [...] membranes in series is still poorly understood. Plants offer an ideal cellular/biophysical model, the [...] functioning. This will be instrumental to combine plant biomass production with tolerance to stress conditions
