Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM): the first glomeromycotan sugar transporter is characterized by using the unique geosiphon symbiosis with cyanobacteria to…
2007
International audience; In the arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM), the symbiotic interface is the site of nutrient exchange where the mycobiont receives up to 20% of the photosynthates of the photobiont as carbohydrates. We have, for the first time, functionally characterised a monosaccharide transporter type, represented by GpMST1, putatively playing a role in this process (Schüßler, A., Martin, H., Cohen, D., Fitz, M., and Wipf, D. 2006. Characterization of a carbohydrate transporter from symbiotic glomeromycotan fungi. Nature 444:933-936.). Together with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, forming endomycorrhiza with the majority of land plants, Geosiphon pyriformis belongs to the Glomeromyc…
Membrane dynamics of sugar transports in tobacco-microbe interactions
2017
SPEINRAUBIPM DOCT; Plants can influence microorganism population through exudation of sugars notably as carbon source. Indeed, the type of plant-microorganism interaction (PMI) is linked to the trophic exchanges between plant and microorganism. Microorganisms are thus able to “manipulate” the host to modify sugar fluxes. In mycorrhizal symbiosis, the plant has a supply of nutrients by the fungal partner, which in return receives sugars. In pathogenic relationship, the microorganism will divert sugars provided by the plant without compensation. Despite identification of sugar transporters at biotrophic interfaces, molecular and cellular mechanisms by which microorganisms operate the distribu…

Mechanisms involved in spatial and temporal mobility of disease patches caused by Rhizoctonia solani in sugar beet field : Induction of antagonists w…
2008
National audience; Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 causes damping-off and root rot on sugar beet in patches that are highly mobile both on spatial and temporal scales. They never occur in the same place where they were in the previous season. The aim of the present study was to uncover the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of disease patches. It was observed that soil inoculum potential was higher within diseased patch than in healthy area. However, the dormant pathogen in healthy area was stimulated by addition of buckwheat meal more than that in diseased patch. In addition soil from diseased area was more suppressive towards the disease. We did not observe significant differences in bacterial …
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 …
2018
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…
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate as a signal for changing from sugar to lipid oxidation during flight in locusts
1986
AbstractFlight in locusts is initially powered mainly by carbohydrate but if flight is to be sustained, as in migration, the animals have to utilize fat as the predominant fuel. The molecular basis of this metabolic switch has not been identified. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a potent activator of 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) purified from locust flight muscle. After the first few minutes of flight in the locust the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the flight muscle falls dramatically, which should lead to a decrease in the activity of 6-phosphofructokinase as part of the mechanism to conserve carbohydrate during prolonged flight.
