Dissection of Genetic Cell Programmes Driving Early Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Interactions
2008
The persistence through evolution of the arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis between Glomeromycota and plants is probably due to a widespread molecular dialogue between the two partners. Most studies have focussed on established mycorrhizal systems whilst evidence for cellular commitment of the symbiotic partners during early developmental phases is recent. Whereas spore germination by AM fungi can occur spontaneously, subsequent hyphal branching, appressoria differentiation, root penetration and intraradical development leading to symbiosis establishment are under the control of molecular interactions between the two partners. In this chapter, recent work on AM fungus–plant interactions i…
Medicago truncatula
2012
In plants, long distance transport of sugars from photosynthetic source leaves to sink organs comprises different crucial steps depending on the species and organ types. Sucrose, the main carbohydrate for long distance transport is synthesized in the mesophyll and then loaded into the phloem. After long distance transport through the phloem vessels, sucrose is finally unloaded towards sink organs. Alternatively, sugar can also be transferred to non‐plant sinks and plant colonization by heterotrophic organisms increases the sink strength and creates an additional sugar demand for the host plant. These sugar fluxes are coordinated by transport systems. Main sugar transporters in plants compri…
Biological nitrogen fixation for the 21st century
1998
The biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing organisms is huge. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research is needed to structure this diversity, to facilitate communication among scientists, and to increase our understanding of the evolution and biology of diazotrophs. Molecular tools for taxonomic and biodiversity studies of diazotrophic rhizobia, frankiae, cyanobacteria and bacilli are presented in sections 2 to 5. Sections 6 to 9 focus on problems with genus and species assignment.

Characterization of field isolates of Trichoderma antagonistic towards Rhizoctonia solani
2009
Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 is a phytopathogenic fungus causing damping off and root rot in sugar beet. The disease occurs in the form of patches. In monoculture, these patches are highly mobile and never occur at the same place where they were observed the previous year. The soil from within patches was found more suppressive towards the disease than soil from healthy area. Comparison of the microbial genetic structures between the different soil samples suggested that Trichoderma spp. were involved in the increased suppressiveness. Trichoderma spp. are well known for their antagonistic activities. The aim of the present study was to characterize sixteen Trichoderma isolates isolated from wi…
The Medicago truncatula hypermycorrhizal B9 mutant displays an altered response to phosphate and is more susceptible to Aphanomyces euteiches.
2014
SPE IPM; National audience; Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a key role in the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, which is favoured when Pi is limiting in the environment. We have characterized the Medicago truncatula hypermycorrhizal B9 mutant for its response to limiting (P/10) and replete (P2) Pi. On P2, mycorrhization was significantly higher in B9 plants than in wild-type (WT). The B9 mutant displayed hallmarks of Pi-limited plants, including higher levels of anthocyanins and lower concentrations of Pi in shoots than WT plants. Transcriptome analyses of roots of WT and B9 plants cultivated on P2 or on P/10 confirmed the Pi-limited profile of the mutant on P2 and highli…
Les couverts végétaux. Partie 1/2 : Une pratique agroécologique au service de la vigne
2021
National audience; Les couverts végétaux sont couramment utilisés en tant que cultures intermédiaires, intégrant pleinement les plans de rotation en tant qu’interculture des cultures annuelles (ex. : céréales) et en tant que cultures intercalaires dans le cadre des cultures pérennes (ex. : vergers, vigne). Ce type de culture a fait l’objet de dénominations différentes au cours des dernières décennies comme « engrais vert », en référence à sa contribution à la fertilité des sols, ou « CIPAN » (Culture intermédiaire piège à nitrate) , et dernièrement « CIMS » (Cultures intermédiaires/intercalaires multiservices) (Justes et Richard, 2017). Les plantes de couvert sont cultivées, non pas dans un…
Transcriptional response of Medicago truncatula sulphate transporters to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis with and without sulphur stress
2013
Sulphur is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, development and response to various abiotic and biotic stresses due to its key role in the biosynthesis of many S-containing compounds. Sulphate represents a very small portion of soil S pull and it is the only form that plant roots can uptake and mobilize through H(+)-dependent co-transport processes implying sulphate transporters. Unlike the other organically bound forms of S, sulphate is normally leached from soils due to its solubility in water, thus reducing its availability to plants. Although our knowledge of plant sulphate transporters has been growing significantly in the past decades, little is still known about the effect of…
Les mycorhizes, une alliance plante-champignon découverte en 1885 et encore mal connue?
2017
Il y a 450 millions d’années, les plantes ont colonisé le milieu terrestre. Pour cela, elles se sont associées notamment avec des microbes du sol. La symbiose la plus répandue dans le monde végétal est la mycorhize (mûkes/champignon et rhiza/racine), formée entre les racines et des champignons microscopiques du sol, les Gloméromycètes. Cette symbiose a été décrite pour la première fois en 1885 par le botaniste allemand Albert FRANK. Ces champignons sont, pour les plantes, des alliés fantastiques. Ils facilitent l’absorption des éléments minéraux du sol et stimulent leurs défenses pour mieux résister aux maladies et plus largement aux stress (pollution, manque d’eau). Après la seconde guerre…
