Transcriptomic data from panarthropods shed new light on the evolution of insulator binding proteins in insects : Insect insulator proteins.
2016
Background Body plan development in multi-cellular organisms is largely determined by homeotic genes. Expression of homeotic genes, in turn, is partially regulated by insulator binding proteins (IBPs). While only a few enhancer blocking IBPs have been identified in vertebrates, the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster harbors at least twelve different enhancer blocking IBPs. We screened recently compiled insect transcriptomes from the 1KITE project and genomic and transcriptomic data from public databases, aiming to trace the origin of IBPs in insects and other arthropods. Results Our study shows that the last common ancestor of insects (Hexapoda) already possessed a substantial number …

Endosperm cintribution to Medicago truncatula seed development : characterization of a DOF transcription factor expressed in chalazal endosperm
2014
In the current context, which necessitates a reduction in inputs in crop systems and boosting of production of plant proteins to reduce France’s dependency on feed imports,, growing legumes represents an alternative. Grain legumes are major sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition. In the UMR1347 Agroécologie, the objectives of the study group "déterminismes Génétiques et Environnementaux de l’Adaptation des Plantes à des Systèmes de culture Innovants" (GEAPSI) are to promote legume cultivation and adaptation to environmental stresses, via multidisciplinary approaches (genetics, ecophysiology, molecular physiology). This thesis project was carried out in the "Étude des Mécanismes …
Population genetics on Ambrosia genus: past, present and future
2014
National audience; A new Task Force within the COST-SMARTER has recently been created. This group is composed of population genetics experts from five European countries in charge of focusing on “Genetics on Ambrosia” (Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden). Their mission was to review molecular methods used in published genetics studies on common ragweed and to discuss about future projects. Two different types of molecular markers are generally used in the literature to investigate the genetic structure within and between introduced and/or native populations of common ragweed: microsatellite markers and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). These methods permit the researcher…
