Pois protéagineux : cheminement de la recherche génétique pour la sélection des paramètres à prendre en compte pour l’amélioration de la stabilité du…

Field Pea: development of genetic research for the selection of parameters to take into account to improve yield stability. Legumes were essential in rotations in the past, but they fell off during the 20th century. Maybe they will come back into favour in the 21st century thanks to its economy, agri-environment and food assets. Field Pea is the main crop of this family in France, but it remains underdeveloped because its unstable yield does not enable the farmers to ensure their income security. Therefore researchers should focus on yield stability. Modelling Pea remains difficult because of its indeterminate development. Parameters to take into account are many and their significance must…

Modélisation de la répartition des assimilats au sein du système racinaire chez le pois de printemps (Pisum sativum)

2014

leguminous plant, can fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with symbiotic bacteria of the genus Rhizobium. Yet the sensitivity of symbiotic N fixation to biotics and abiotics stresses leads to a significant yield and protein rate variability compared with cereals. A better understanding of C and N partitioning between roots and shoots according to the mode of N nutrition seems necessary to identify levers of yield stabilisation. In this context, the model PeaNod developed within INRA Dijon Ecophysiology team combines an architectural model of pea with an source-sink approach. The main objective of this work was to study the impact of competition between nodules and roots on roots arch…

Pea root rot diseases : characterization and biocontrol of the disease complex including Aphanomyces euteiches.

2021

Root rots in peas are a major concern in most growing regions around the world. The disease is caused by a parasitic complex made up of many species of soil-borne fungi and oomycetes. In France, the main pathogen involved until recently was the oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches. The identity of the other components of the parasitic complex and their respective contributions to the disease have not been investigated. No control method is currently available to effectively control the disease, apart from a predictive biological test questioned by some users. However, this test allows the avoidance of infested plots, which furthermore limits the multiplication in soils of A. euteiches, i.e. the m…

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…

Could subcellular proteomics of root plastids teach us more about mycorrhizal symbiosis?

2007

International audience; The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a mutualistic association between soil-borne fungi and the roots of most plant species. Involving the bilateral exchange of nutrients, the symbiosis is connected to drastic changes in plant cell organelle morphology and physiology. Root plastids, in particular, are forming extensive, network-like structures covering the main symbiotic interface, i.e., intracellular, highly branched haustorium-like fungal structures called arbuscules. These plastid networks are highly dynamic and are formed and degraded concomitantly with the formation and degradation of arbuscules. By producing basic metabolic building blocks like fatty ac…

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…

Interactions between a mycorrhiza helper bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizas

2009

Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12 was shown to promote arbuscular mycorrhization and to act as a ‘Mycorrhiza Helper Bacteria’ (MHB). The complex interactions between this model strain, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and host-plants were analysed by assessing the specificity of these interactions and by characterizing bacterial cell organization on mycorrhizal roots. Evaluation of the interaction specificity relied on the comparison of the bacterial effect on (i) the in vitro saprophytic growth of Glomus mosseae and Gigasopora rosea and (ii) the root colonization of two different plant species (Medicago truncatula and Lycopersicon esculentum) by the two AM fungal species. Characterization of …

Root rot of pea: characterization and biocontrol of the soil-borne disease complex including Aphanomyces euteiches

2018

Pea root rot is an increasing constraint in most of intensive pea cropping areas across the globe. The pathogenic complex responsible for the disease is composed of soil-borne fungal and oomycete pathogens such as Fusarium solani, F.oxysporum, F. avenaceum, F. culmorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Thielaviopsis basicola, Ascochyta pinodella, Pythium spp., Aphanomyces euteiches and probably others not yet identified. The diversity of their ecological and pathogenic properties can explain the worldwide dispersion of the disease and the absence of chemical, agricultural or genetic control tools. My research program aims at characterizing the parasitic consortium occurring in the North of France and at…
