A fungal protease named AsES triggers antiviral immune responses and effectively restricts virus infection in arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana plants
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04)Background and Aims: Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to fight against pathogens. Among these mechanisms, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) relies on the recognition of conserved microbe- or pathogen-associated molecular ... -
Allelic differences in a vacuolar invertase affect Arabidopsis growth at early plant development
(2016)Improving carbon fixation in order to enhance crop yield is a major goal in plant sciences. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, it has been demonstrated that a vacuolar invertase (vac-Inv) plays a key role in ... -
Arabidopsis phenotyping through geometric morphometrics
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07)Background: Recently, great technical progress has been achieved in the field of plant phenotyping. High-throughput platforms and the development of improved algorithms for rosette image segmentation make it possible to ... -
Beyond arabidopsis: differential UV-B response mediated by UVR8 in diverse species
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06)Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm) is an important environmental signal that regulates growth and development in plants. Two dose-dependent UV-B response pathways were described in plants: a specific one, mediated ... -
Coupling virus-induced gene silencing to exogenous green fluorescence protein expression provides a highly efficient system for functional genomics in arabidopsis and across all stages of tomato fruit development
(2011-07)Since the advent of the postgenomic era, efforts have focused on the development of rapid strategies for annotating plant genes of unknown function. Given its simplicity and rapidity, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) ... -
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of a polyester synthase-like gene delays flowering time in alfalfa
(Springer, 2023-02)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), commonly known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of plant protein for meat and milk production systems worldwide. Since alfalfa is a perennial vegetative-harvest forage, delaying ... -
Engineering Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 for nitrogen fixation and its application to improve plant growth under nitrogen-deficient conditions
(2013-05-13)Nitrogen is the second most critical factor for crop production after water. In this study, the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 was genetically modified to fix nitrogen using the genes encoding the ... -
Selective pressure against horizontally acquired prokaryotic genes as a driving force of plastid evolution
(Springer Nature, 2016-01)The plastid organelle comprises a high proportion of nucleus-encoded proteins that were acquired from different prokaryotic donors via independent horizontal gene transfers following its primary endosymbiotic origin. What ... -
Unheard voices speak up : the Arabidopsis community and the representation of researchers from the Global South
(Oxford University Press, 2024-04)In June 2023, the Arabidopsis community met in Makuhari, Chiba, Japan, for the 33rd International Conference in Arabidopsis Research (ICAR). The meeting, at which more than 1200 researchers gathered, spanned the course of ...
