Bridging receptors and microtubules in the control of plant growth – MICROBRIDGE
determinant in plant developmental processes, together with cell division and differentiation. Plant hormones [...] brassinosteroids (BRs) have vital activities for plant growth and cell elongation. BRs are perceived by [...] regulation of microtubule-cell surface receptors in plants. Altogether, MICROBRIDGE will provide a molecular
dsRNA-based detection of viruses – VDOSAGE
in living organisms, including arthropods and plants. By exploiting the remarkable dsRNA-binding properties [...] and dsNanoSeq will be validated with field-grown plants, field-caught mosquitoes and human plasma cells [...] of four partners: B2/Nbs, dsRNA technology and plant virology (Partner 1, P1), animal virology (P2),
The intestinal holobiont: the key to optimizing carbohydrates utilization in rainbow trout fed with full plant-based diets? – HOLOFISH
replaced fish ingredients (oil and proteins) by plant ingredients. However, there is still a major problem [...] problem of growth performance of fish fed with a full plant-based diet due to a decrease in feed intake and [...] project aims to study the partial replacement of plant proteins by digestible dietary carbohydrates (ie
Coordination between the root endodermis and endosymbioses. – ENDOSYMB
the rational manipulation of plant-microbe interaction to enhance plant productivity. [...] Plant roots are vital for survival and growth as they regulate the intake of water and nutrients from [...] and rhizobial symbioses, and how this impacts plant nutrition. The genetic model legume Medicago truncatula
Eco engineering of nano-enabled plant protection strategies for sustainable agriculture – ORGANIC
terrestrial non-targets such as plants and nematodes, soil and plant microbiota, and soil fertility. [...] (such as pH or redox potential) induced by the plant. In these conditions it is expected that the hybrid [...] hybrid nanoparticles will be evaluated in vitro on plant pathogenic fungi to determine the effective con
Splicing Factors and riboregulators in the control of thermo-resilience in plants – RIBORES
mutant plants are impaired in temperature responses. As GRP7 and NSR are highly conserved in plants, we [...] pre-mRNA splicing (AS) contributes to adjust the plant transcriptome to temperature changes and plays a [...] we will translate this approach to tomato plants, which are heat sensitive. We already have identified
Unraveling the role of Chloroplast surface in mRNA TRAPping and translation – C-Trap
The chloroplast is the energy factory of the plant cells. Following endosymbiosis and evolution of its [...] localized translation is also effective for higher plant chloroplasts and highlight unique specificities [...] translation, transport and signal propagation in plant cells). Some methodologies used are classical and
Sustainable innovations for Regenerative Agriculture in the Mediterranean area – SIRAM
induce plant systematic resistances to insects and fungal attacks will be provided; at plant level the [...] systemic approach focused on the tripartite soil-plant-microbiome system. At soil level, mechanisms of [...] understanding and exploitation of mechanisms by which plants can select beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere
MIcroscale characterization and modelling of energy DIssipation mechanisms to optimize damping of plant FIbers Composite structures – MIDIFIC
for sustainable lightweight structures made of plant fibers. To achieve this task, a detailed charac [...] performed. Despite the fact that the loss factor of plant fiber reinforced polymer composites is about one [...] restricted to non-structural applications. To design plant fibers composite structures that combine simultaneously
Impact of NRT2.1 posttranslational regulatory mechanisms on nitrate uptake and sensing – IMPACT
