Les mycorhizes, ces champignons invisibles qui aident les agriculteurs
2020
International audience; Pour sa Journée du semis direct 2020, Swiss No-till a donné la parole à deux invités internationaux: le Français Daniel Wipf, spécialiste des mycorhizes, et la Canadienne Odette Ménard.
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…

Mycorhizes à arbuscules : le transportome biotrophe de la cellule au champ
2017
Understanding mechanisms underlying high nutrients use efficiency and carbon allocation in a context of mycorrhizal interactions is critical for sound management of croplands taking care of ecosystem services rendered by mycorrhizal fungi. Transport processes across the polarised membrane interfaces are of major importance in the functioning of the established mycorrhizal association as the symbiotic relation is based on a 'fair-trade' between fungus and host plant. Uptake and exchanges of nutrient and/or metabolites, at biotrophic interfaces are controlled by membrane transporters and their regulation patterns are essential in determining the outcome of plant fungal interactions and in ada…
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…
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…
Localisation et visualisation de transcrits fongiques in situ: Une méthode originale qui combine biologie moléculaire et microscopie confocale
2011
National audience; Les Gloméromycètes, formant la symbiose mycorhizienne à arbuscules, sont des champignons biotrophes obligatoires qui sont intimement associés aux tissus végétaux qu’ils colonisent. Les techniques utilisées pour suivre l’expression des gènes fongiques dans les racines mycorhizées ne permettent pas de définir le profil spatio-temporel de leur activité. Afin de tracer l’activité transcriptionnelle fongique dans les racines mycorhizées, une méthode innovante, basée sur la RT-PCR in situ, a donc été développée. Cette technique permet de localiser, en microscopie optique confocale à balayage laser, des transcrits fongiques, à l’aide d’amorces spécifiques marquées par un fluoroc…
