Adapting to symbiosis loss: uncovering new microbial associations in non-mycorrhizal plants and establishing their contribution to plant P nutrition – SymbiLoss
can play major roles mediating host adaptation. Plants rely on the ancestral Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) [...] Indeed, there are at least three ‘non-mycorrhizal’ plant families for which the loss of the AM symbiosis [...] fungi capable of transferring phosphorus to the plant, suggesting the existence of yet-unknown nutritional
Plant - plant interaction mediated by microbial activity in the rhizosphere – Plant2Mi
Plant - plant interactions occur continuously in the rhizosphere and are likely to be modulated by a [...] microbiota. In particular, the host plant - root parasitic plant model constitutes a particularly il [...] which parasitizes Brassicaceae plants, including rapeseed or the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, are able
Dynamics of coumarin uptake by plant roots to improve iron nutrition – DYNAFER
are taken up by plant roots in the form of Fe-coumarin chelates, facilitating plant Fe nutrition. This [...] Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant productivity and the quality of their derived products [...] products. However, Fe is generally poorly available to plants because it is mainly present in the soil in the
Harvesting energy with plant-based phononics – Harvest
weak piezoelectricity of plants. In this project, we aim at creating plant-based materials, with enhanced [...] phononic features and plant piezoelectricity. We will convert the designed plant-based phononic structures [...] energy sources from the biomass. In this context, plants present a "green" materials' platform to convert
Identifying the targets and regulation of ppGpp signalling in plants. – TARGET_G4P
novel plant-specific innovations. The knowledge generated will help us understand how plants and algae [...] the centre of stress perception and regulation in plants. Thanks to recent work from our laboratory and [...] function to influence growth and stress acclimation in plants and algae. However, 1) what are the molecular targets
Adaptation of the Polyphagous Pest Drosophila suzukii: Role of the Interactions between Fly Genotype, Microbiota and Host Fruit – ADAGIO
e on host plants from which insect populations originated, than on alternative host plants. Evolutionary [...] phytophagous insects to their host plants as directly induced by the host plant itself (e.g. the acclimation [...] host plant can modify insect oviposition preference or performance). In contrast, the role of plant-specific
ResIlienCe tO reCurrent HEaT Stresses in plants – RICOCHETS
stresses within a season affect plant production and (2) incorporate plant responses to such stresses in [...] analyses of plant responses during recurrent heat stress sequences imposed at specific stages of plant development) [...] between average environmental conditions and average plant responses. Because there is increasing evidence
Age-related effects of vegetarian diet on protein and amino acid bioavailability – VegAA
digestibility, plant proteins are generally considered of lower nutritional values. Plant proteins come [...] recommend transitioning towards more sustainable, plant-based diets. While animal proteins are known as [...] acutely. However, the long-term synergetic effects of plant-based foods on adaptation of intestinal functions
Effects of ozone pollution on plant-pollinator chemical communication under global warming, consequences for their interactions – PolluCom
remains understudied despite its probable impact on plant-pollinator interactions. In these interactions, [...] host recognition by pollinators relies on plant emission and perception of floral odors, a complex blend [...] years. As knowledge of factors that can affect plant and pollinator health is the basis for biodiversity
Characterizing the early dialogue between host plants and pathogenic oomycetes: biological and physical approaches – COOL
imperatives of modern agriculture. In the soil, a plant disease begins with the interaction between root [...] microorganisms, penetration and then colonization of plant tissues. In recent years, advances in knowledge [...] the early communication established between host plants, pathogens of the oomycetes class and soil bacteria
