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
Retroviral-type LTRs as intermediate of the stress response in plants / LTRs de type rétroviral comme intermédiaires de la réponse au stress chez les plantes – LTR-STRESS
research is still largely unchartered in plants, although large plant genomes are highly enriched in TEs (up [...] retrotransposons on plant host genomes, which may be of key significance for plant adaptability to en [...] ry importance of LTR-mediated reprogramming of plant gene expression in response to stress. The proposal
An integrated genomic and proteomic characterization of induced seed storage organelles for the optimal production of biopharmaceuticals in plants and plant cells – PROTEINSTORAGE
the accumulation of exogenous proteins in plants and plant cells; (4) use the above knowledge to propose [...] and quantitative changes in protein composition a plant undergoes during the formation of endogenous and
What is the role of exogenous NO for plants, microbes, and their interactions in soil? – NO-PIMS
such as stimulation of the plant innate immune system, stimulation of plant morphogenesis and nutrition [...] on both microorganisms and plants, investigating the role of NO in plant-soil systems can lead to a greater [...] of plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. Such interactions and feedbacks between plants and
Chloroplast directed environmental stress acclimation in plants. – CHLORO_SAP
Chloroplasts are essential organelles that are the site of photosynthesis in green plants. Chloroplasts are now at the heart of plant energy metabolism and are delicate sensors of the outside environment and the specific nutrient requirements of the plant. Here we propose to find out how chloroplasts sense environmental change and how they then signal to mediate chloroplast and plant-wide acclimation.
Host Plant Adaptation in Plutellid Moths – HOPPediMOTH
their host plants dominate much of terrestrial biodiversity, the factors that determine host plant specificity [...] stages to neutralize host plant chemical defenses are crucial for host plant colonization. The cabbage [...] differentially to host plant glucosinolates. Because of the profound knowledge about plant glucosinolate-based
Basic mechanisms balancing plant growth-defense tradeoffs, and influence of global warming – BUGSTER
understand plant developmental processes in the face of plant immunity but will also understand plant defense [...] pathways in plants is a century-old question that was empirically formulated as the “dilemma of plants”. The [...] Plants must grow fast enough to compete with their neighbors, while surviving in the presence of pathogens
Plant-polerovirus-aphid crosstalk – VIRAPHIPLANT
Insect-vectored plant viruses are among the most devastating viruses of crops around the world. To limit the damages caused by these viruses, insecticide treatments are applied to reduce vector populations. Since plant chemicals have a dramatic impact on human health, it is important to identify antiviral strategies which do not use pesticide treatments. The identification of new targets to reduce virus propagation by vectors is the main goal of this project.
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
