Caracterisation for ancient wheat varieties for their ability to form mycorrhiza and grain quality impact
2014
Wheat (kind Tritucum aestivum, Poaceae family) is a very important cereal ofagronomic interest. Some very ancient varieties are set aside for recent varieties often selected to meet a consumer intensive cultivation of pesticides. Organic farming production system assuming a reduction of synthetic chemical inputs in order to preserve the ecosystem can be defined as a practice where the use of synthetic fertilizers, chemical pesticides and genetically modified organisms is prohibited. This practice is gaining more and more popularity and the amount of land cultivated in this way has increased by 60% between 2000 and 2004. Constraints associated with the production of organic grains include lo…
Le goût moisi-terreux du vin : contribution à la caractérisation cinétique et métabolique des moisissures associées à ce défaut organoleptique
2011
Some microorganisms that co-exist on the grapevine may have beneficial effects on the quality of wine whereas others may be at the origin of organoleptic deviations. In the last decade, several mouldy or earthy odors have been highlighted in various wine regions from France. (-)-geosmin was found to be the major compound responsible for this deviation, along with Botrytis cinerea and fungi belonging to the genus Penicillium, since they were frequently isolated from “earthy-musty” odor grapes. The extent of damage on the quality of wines, motivated our study on the caracterisation of grape rot fungi. First of all, the microflora of grapes from Burgundy vineyards was identified (morphological…
The membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula roots displays qualitative and quantitative changes in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
2014
International audience; Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis that associates roots of most land plants with soil-borne fungi (Glomeromycota), is characterized by reciprocal nutritional benefits. Fungal colonization of plant roots induces massive changes in cortical cells where the fungus differentiates an arbuscule, which drives proliferation of the plasma membrane. Despite the recognized importance of membrane proteins in sustaining AM symbiosis, the root microsomal proteome elicited upon mycorrhiza still remains to be explored. In this study, we first examined the qualitative composition of the root membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula after microsome enrichment and subsequent in dep…
Characterization of Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) genes implicated in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation and function
2010
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association results from a successful interaction between the genomes of the two symbiotic partners. In this context, the aim of my research was to better characterize the role of the late stage symbiosis-related pea genes PsSym36, PsSym33 and PsSym40 in the functional AM (i) by investigating the effect of mutations in the three genes on fungal and plant gene responses and (ii) by creating conditions for the localization of two of the genes, PsSym36 and PsSym40, on the pea genetic map for future map-based cloning. The expression of a subset of ten fungal and eight plant genes,previously reported to be activated during mycorrhiza development, was compared in G…

Effect of cadmium on growth, isoflavonoid and protein accumulation patterns in mycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula
2007
International audience; Ecosystems are submitted to various abiotic stresses, among which heavy metals represent major industrial pollutants. Cadmium (Cd), that has damaging effects on plant metabolism, occurs in agricultural environments through industrial pollution and human activities, including phosphate fertiliser and sewage sludge applications. Metal availability to plants can be modulated by soil microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. In the present work, Cd effects on the model legume Medicago truncatula inoculated or not with the AM fungus Glomus intraradices have been studied at 3 levels: (1) plant biomass production together with green part chlorophyll quant…
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM): the first glomeromycotan sugar transporter is characterized by using the unique geosiphon symbiosis with cyanobacteria to…
2007
International audience; In the arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM), the symbiotic interface is the site of nutrient exchange where the mycobiont receives up to 20% of the photosynthates of the photobiont as carbohydrates. We have, for the first time, functionally characterised a monosaccharide transporter type, represented by GpMST1, putatively playing a role in this process (Schüßler, A., Martin, H., Cohen, D., Fitz, M., and Wipf, D. 2006. Characterization of a carbohydrate transporter from symbiotic glomeromycotan fungi. Nature 444:933-936.). Together with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, forming endomycorrhiza with the majority of land plants, Geosiphon pyriformis belongs to the Glomeromyc…
Arbuscular mycorhizal proteomes: what news at the nearby and distant horizon?
2007
International audience; Proteomics has soon emerged as a powerful tool to point out protein modifications in roots interacting with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. Depending on the developmental mycorrhizal stage and on the available amount of mycorrhizal material, untargeted and/or sub-cellular proteomic approaches were applied to reveal and identify proteins whose accumulation was modified during the AM colonisation of Medicago truncatula roots. For the early stage of symbiosis, the protein patterns obtained from noninoculated roots and roots synchronized for appressorium formation in wild-type (Jemalong J5), penetration-defective (TRV25, dmi3) and autoregulation-defective (TR122, sunn)…
Bacillus consortium positively impacts arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi community, plant phosphate nutrition and potato yield in Solanum tuberosum cv. Ja…

Many agricultural soils are naturally poor in plant available phosphorus (P), although total P stocks can exceed plant requirements by more than 100-fold. The reason for such apparent contradiction is that P is complexed under organic and inorganic forms, but only free inorganic orthophosphate (Pi) ions are available to plants and soil organisms. The high immobility of Pi in soil, the low soil solution circulation associated with a rapid root absorption lead to the development of a depletion zone around the roots. As a consequence, P is frequently a limiting factor for plant growth and development.Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are estimated to colonize the vast majority of crop plants a…
Genes encoding transcription factors in Glomus intraradices and their expression at the appressoria stage of arbuscular mycorrhiza interactions
2007
International audience; Molecular pathways governing the life cycle of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and their symbiotic interactions with root tissues are not yet fully understood. Most studies fo fungal responses to host plants have targeted developmental stages before root contact (germinating spores), or after root colonization (intraradical mycelium). We are focusing on the early cell events of appressoria contact with the root surface which are essential to the successful outcome of the AM symbiosis. Recent monitoring of Glomus intraradices gene expression at this stage has revealed differential fungal responses to roots of host and non-host (Myc- mutants) M. truncatula (Seddas et…
