Yacine Badis, Maxime Bonhomme, Claude Lafitte, Stéphanie Huguet, Sandrine Balzergue, Bernard Dumas and Christophe Jacquet Abstract: To gain an insight into the molecular mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance in Medicago truncatula to the root-infecting oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches,...

Imaging and analysis of mitochondrial dynamics in living cells

04/30/2015 00:00

Sanjaya B. Ekanayake, Amr M. El Zawily, Gaël Paszkiewicz, Aurélia Rolland, David C. Logan Abstract: One of the most striking features of plant mitochondria when visualized in living tissue is their dynamism. The beauty of cytoplasmic streaming, driving, and being driven by the motility of...

CYP94-mediated jasmonoyl-isoleucine hormone oxidation shapes jasmonate profiles and attenuates defence responses to Botrytis cinerea infection

04/22/2015 00:00

Yann Aubert, Emilie Widemann, Laurence Miesch, Franck Pinot and Thierry Heitz Abstract: Induced resistance to the necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea depends on jasmonate metabolism and signalling in Arabidopsis. We have presented here extensive jasmonate profiling in this pathosystem and...
