A debate dedicated to the biodiversity will be held the 19th February in the “Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle”. In this context, M. Morel-Rouhier and A. Deroy of our department have made a video describing the diversity of fungi involved in wood degradation

Visit: Jehad Shaikhali
Jehad Shaikhali, a postdoctoral researcher from the Umea Plant Science centre working in the lab of Gunnar Wingsle, is joining the Stress response and redox regulation for one month, this scientific stay being funded by the LabEx ARBRE. He will produce and purify some subunits of a mediator and test their reduction by various types of glutaredoxins and thioredoxins.
Project: Screenzym
The “Conseil Régional de Lorraine” had launched a call for proposals to support collaborative research (R&D) involving private companies and public research laboratories. In this context, the Screenzym project led by the Biolie company and IAM (E. Gelhaye) has been selected and funded. The aim of this project is to create a platform allowing the fast quantification of various compounds of interest and the development of different enzyme cocktails acting on the biomass.
Le Conseil Régional de Lorraine a mis en place un fonds pour les projets collaboratifs de recherche et développement (R&D) destiné à rapprocher les entreprises des laboratoires de recherche publics. Dans ce cadre, le projet Screenzym porté par la société Biolie et IAM (E. Gelhaye) a été soutenu. Il consiste à créer une plateforme permettant de quantifier différents composés d’intérêt. Cette quantification permettra notamment à la société BIOLIE de tester et développer rapidement différents cocktails enzymatiques adaptés aux végétaux sur lesquels elle travaille, dans le cadre de ses contrats clients ou de son développement de catalogue d’actifs à destination des marchés cosmétique et nutraceutique.

RESIPATH: Responses of European Forests and Society to Invasive Pathogens
This project has been selected in the Biodiversa call: “Invasive species and biological invasions” and involves in particular B. Marçais of our department.
Participating countries : SE (coordinator) AU, BE, BG, DE, FR, NO, PT, SE, TK (48 Months)
Invasive alien species pose a serious global threat to biodiversity by driving native species to extinction via competitive exclusion and by their ability to modify entire landscapes. The selected tree species are not only an integral part of their ecosystems but are also economically important and supply crucial environmental services to European society, such as biodiversity, watershed protection, stabilisation of river banks, as well as recreational and cultural values. Due to different mortality patterns, the array of host-pathogen combinations enables the study of differential effects on the host population in terms of demographics and evolution. The high ecological and economic impact caused by invasive pathogens nowadays necessitates the development of an early detection system and to increase knowledge on the importance of different pathways for their introduction and spread. Ultimately, an efficient response from society to mitigate the impact of invasive pathogens also depends on the public perception and the communication between researchers and stakeholders in society.
Events: JJC 2014
Ces rencontres, comme les précédentes, seront organisées autour d’exposés de travaux récents,de synthèses et de présentations d’affiches. Les exposés seront organisés en cinq sessions thématiques, concernant aussi bien les champignons pathogènes, que symbiotiques ou saprophytes :
– Taxonomie phylogénie et écologie des communautés
– Génomique des Champignons
– Interactions moléculaires
– Epidémiologie
– Génétique et évolution des populations

ABSTRACT
We report the draft genome sequence of the mycorrhizal helper bacteriumPseudomonas fluorescens strain BBc6R8. This is the first genome of a mycorrhizal helper bacterium. The draft genome contains 6,952,353 bp and is predicted to encode 6,317 open reading frames. Comparative genomic analyses will help to identify helper traits.
Seminar RP2E
The doctoral school RP2E will organize its annual seminar the 16th January. It is entitled :
“Ressources végétales & animales … Quelles perspectives ?”.
PA Lallement will present a part of his PhD work
