Pseudohypoparathyroïdie : Distorsion du ratio de transmission maternelle des mutations perte de fonction de GNAS
2020
National audience; La PseudoHypoParathyroïdie de type 1A (PHP1A) et la PseudoPseudoHypoparathyroïdie (PPHP) sont deux maladies rares à transmission autosomique dominante provoquées par des mutations perte de fonction du gène GNAS soumis à empreinte, codant la protéine Gsα. La PHP1A est causée par des mutations sur l’allèle maternel et entraîne une Ostéodystrophie Héréditaire d’Albright (AHO) et une résistance à la PTH, tandis que la PPHP avec AHO et sans résistance hormonale est liée à des mutations de l’allèle paternel. Cette étude visait à étudier la transmission des mutations de GNAS. Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective sur un grand nombre de familles mutées GNAS. Pour éviter un biai…
Identification of Traits Implicated in the Rhizosphere Competence of Fluorescent Pseudomonads: Description of a Strategy Based on Population and Mode…
2009
E-book; International audience; The lack of consistency of the beneficial effects of inoculated fluorescent pseudomonads has often been related to their bad survival in the rhizosphere. In this review, we describe the strategy followed over the last decade to study traits involved in the rhizosphere competence of these bacteria. The diversity of indigenous populations associated with plant roots was first compared to that of populations associated with uncultivated soils in order to identify traits that discriminate these populations. The involvement of these bacterial traits in the rhizosphere competence was then assessed by comparing the competitiveness of a wild-type strain to that of mu…
Fragmentation des habitats et interactions hôtes-parasites
2021
Habitat fragmentation is one of the main threats to global biodiversity and despite an abundant literature on the impact of fragmentation on species abundance and diversity, the consequences of this global change in terms of ecological and evolutionary processes remain poorly understood. Beyond their direct contribution to biodiversity, as species-rich category of organisms, parasites could be involved in biodiversity change as key actors of ecological and evolutionary processes. The present work aims to understand the effect of forest fragmentation on host-parasite interactions. It is based on a large sampling carried out in the Lesser Antilles and in French Guiana, and allowing the obtent…
Population Structure and Comparative Genome Hybridization of European Flor Yeast Reveal a Unique Group of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains with Few G…
2014
Wine biological aging is a wine making process used to produce specific beverages in several countries in Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, and Hungary. This process involves the formation of a velum at the surface of the wine. Here, we present the first large scale comparison of all European flor strains involved in this process. We inferred the population structure of these European flor strains from their microsatellite genotype diversity and analyzed their ploidy. We show that almost all of these flor strains belong to the same cluster and are diploid, except for a few Spanish strains. Comparison of the array hybridization profile of six flor strains originating from these four co…
Interplay between sulfur nutrition and water stress tolerance in pea : a focus on seed development and composition
2019
International audience; Water stress and sulfur-deficiency are two constraints increasingly faced by crops due to climate change and low-input practices. To investigate their interplay in the grain legume pea (Pisum sativum L.), sulfate was depleted at mid-vegetative stage and a moderate 9-day water stress period was imposed during the early reproductive phase. The combined stress accelerated seed production, lowering yield, one-seed weight and seed number per plant, but rebalanced seed globulin composition. In fact, the moderate water stress mitigated the negative effect of sulfur-deficiency on the accumulation of sulfur-rich globulins in seeds, probably due to a lower seed sink strength f…

Time-series RNA-seq analysis of pea seeds during development under control and drought conditions
2019
National audience; Pea (Pisum sativum) produces seeds rich in proteins. However, protein content and seed quality can be impacted by environmental factors including drought. Accumulation of seed storage proteins (SSP) during seed filling is a highly regulated process. While proteomics of SSP deposition in pea seeds is well documented, knowledge of the underlying regulatory gene networks, either in control or stress conditions, is lacking. In this study, a RNA-seq based transcriptome analysis of seed development in control and water stress condition was carried out. Developing seeds were collected at six time points, from late embryogenesis to early maturation. RNA-seq was performed on an Il…
Transcriptomic and metabolomic responses of the nodulated pea root system during rewatering
2019
National audience; In pea (Pisum sativum), as in other legumes, nitrogen nutrition relies on two different sources: soil mineral nitrogen supply via roots and and symbiotic atmospheric N2 fixation within root nodules. However symbiotic nitrogen fixation is very sensitive to abiotic stresses, especially drought, which is becoming increasingly frequent in the current context of climate change. Although the ability of a crop to recover after a drought period can determine both its survival and its yield at harvest, little is known about the physiological and molecular mechanisms occurring during recovery. In this work, we aimed at characterizing the kinetics of growth and nitrogen acquisition …
