Forum 2023: LabEx TULIP / FR AIB

The FR AIB and LabEx TULIP jointly organise their annual forum on October 12 and 13 in the brand-new Agrobiosciences building. The first half-day will focus on the FRAIB environment, with an overview of the technological facilities, followed by Young Scientists talks, granted in 2022. During the following afternoon and Friday, TULIP LabEx will present a program combining presentations by its members and international guests.

Call 2023 is now open

Two distinct projects can be submitted. The first call concerns projects led by researchers from at least two different laboratories from the FR AIB. The second call concerns young scientists (PhD students, post-docs, engineers on fixed-term contracts).

Ecology & Evolution - Towards a mechanistic approach of the adaptive response to climate changes

Understanding how organisms cope with environmental change in general and in particular global change is a major scientific challenge. The molecular pathways underlying rapid adaptive phenotypic responses to global change remain poorly understood.

The CRISPR revolution!

Who is this couple that hits the headlines of the newspapers? Who has so much to say, tweets and overshadows the GMO debate? No, it’s not a new star couple. The name of this duo is CRISPR/Cas9. It enables the easy and accurate modification of DNA, the source of genetic information in living organisms. This technique is becoming so essential that it earned the Science’s 2015 Breakthrough of the Year award.

Science - The predator-prey power law: Biomass scaling across terrestrial and aquatic biomes

Despite the huge diversity of ecological communities, they can have unexpected patterns in common. Hatton et al. describe a general scaling law that relates total predator and prey biomass in terrestrial and aquatic animal communities (see the Perspective by Cebrian). They draw on data from many thousands of population counts of animal communities ranging from plankton to large mammals, across a wide range of biomes. They find a ubiquitous pattern of biomass scaling, which may suggest an underlying organization in ecosystems. It seems that communities follow systematic changes in structure and dynamics across environmental gradients.

NanoTemper

Microscale Thermophoresis analysis enables to study biomolecular interactions without prior purification or immobilization of the interactors. It gives access to the determination of the binding properties in terms of affinity (in the range from 10-2 to 10-11 M) and stoichiometry. The principle of the method takes into account the motion of molecules along microscopic temperature gradients and detects changes depending on their free or bound states. These changes are detected and quantified by measuring changes in fluorescence associated to one of the interactors.

Cell Host & Microbe - The Decoy Substrate of a Pathogen Effector and a Pseudokinase Specify Pathogen-Induced Modified- Self Recognition and Immunity in Plants

A plant pathogen effector, AvrAC, uridylylates a host kinase to promote virulence. Wang et al. find that plants have evolved a decoy substrate which upon uridylylation by AvrAC is recognized by a pseudokinase-immune receptor complex to trigger immunity. Thus, decoy substrates and pseudokinases specify and expand immune capacity in plants.

Plant Physiology - The Symbiosis-Related ERN Transcription Factors Act in concert to Coordinate Rhizobial Host Root Infection

Legumes improve their mineral nutrition through nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses with soil rhizobia. Rhizobial infection of legumes is regulated by a number of transcription factors, including ERF Required for Nodulation1 (ERN1). Medicago truncatula plants defective in ERN1 are unable to nodulate, but still exhibit early symbiotic responses including rhizobial infection. ERN1 has a close homolog, ERN2, which shows partially overlapping expression patterns. Here we show that ern2 mutants exhibit a later nodulation phenotype than ern1, being able to form nodules but with signs of premature senescence.

Ecology Letters - How policy makers and ecologists can develop a more constructive dialogue to save the planet

An international consensus demands human impacts on the environment “sustain”, “maintain”, “conserve”, “protect”, “safeguard”, and “secure” it, keeping it within “safe ecological limits”. A new study that assembled an international team of environmental scientists shows that policy makers have little idea what these terms mean or how to connect them to a wealth of ecological data and ideas. Progress on protecting our planet requires us to dispel this confusion, and the researchers have produced a framework to do just that.

PNAS - On some genetic consequences of social structure, mating systems, dispersal, and sampling

Many animal species, including humans, live and breed in groups with complex social organizations. The impact of this social structure on the genetic diversity of animals has been a source of disagreement between scientists. This new study shows that social structure can in itself maintain the genetic diversity within species. It provides a new mathematical model that can be used by population geneticists and ecologists to better predict how social groups influence the way species maintain genetic diversity and evolve, and ultimately help in the conservation of species.
