Identification of sugar transporters in arbuscular mycorrhiza, from basic to applied science
2012
Our study focuses on sugar transporters from both plant and fungal partners at the symbiotic interface to better understand biotrophic exchange systems. Thereby, a collection of putative contigs and ESTs of hexose transporters from Medicago truncatula and Fragaria x ananassa will be processed. The full length sequences will be cloned for functional complementation and uptake experiments in transport deficient yeast mutants. This work also investigates the influence of different mycorrhizal fungi on (1) the expression level of sugar transporters and (2) the economically relevant part of F. x ananassa by analyzing its impact on the plant and the fruit. To this aim, combination of phenological…

Réponses des cellules de Nicotiana tabacum à des molécules microbiennes : évènements de signalisation précoce, influence de la dynamique membranaire …

Responses of Nicotiana tabacum cells to microbial molecule treatments: early signaling events,influence of membrane dynamics, and sugar fluxesIn their natural environment plants are in close interaction with beneficial, neutral, or pathogenicmicrobes, which are highly dependent on carbon resources exuded by plant roots. Sugar transport, which isa key process of plant physiology, is essential to support the fate of plant-microbe interactions. Duringevolution, plants have acquired the ability to perceive microbial molecules, initiating specific signaltransduction cascades and leading to adapted response for microbe lifestyles (avirulent, virulent, or benefic).Plant survival will depend on the…
Allelic variants of hexose transporter Hxt3p and hexokinases Hxk1p/Hxk2p in strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeand interspecies hybrids
2015
The transport of sugars across the plasma membrane is a critical step in the utilization of glucose and fructose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during must fermentations. Variations in the molecular structure of hexose transporters and kinases may affect the ability of wine yeast strains to finish sugar fermentation, even under stressful wine conditions. In this context, we sequenced and compared genes encoding the hexose transporter Hxt3p and the kinases Hxk1p/Hxk2p of Saccharomyces strains and interspecies hybrids with different industrial usages and regional backgrounds. The Hxt3p primary structure varied in a small set of amino acids, which characterized robust yeast strains used for the p…
