Potato cyst nematodes induce changes in plant host gene expression following root invasion. For an accurate comparison of gene expression by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), internal reference genes are necessary for transcript normalization. Very few experimental data on suitable reference genes are available for...

Potato cyst nematodes induce changes in gene expression after infecting the roots. For studying gene expression, reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is now a standard method. However, for accurate quantication of transcripts, a set of internal control genes, stable under different experimental conditions, is necessary for...

The regulation of carbon allocation between photosyn-thetic source leaves and sink tissues in response to stress is an important factor controlling plant yield. Ascorbate oxidase is an apoplastic enzyme, which controls the redox state of the apoplastic ascorbate pool. RNA interference was used to decrease ascorbate oxidase activity in tomato...

Débuté en 2021, le projet Cap Zéro Phyto financé par le PPR « Cultiver et protéger autrement » a pour objectif d'étudier indépendamment cinq leviers immunitaires et leurs combinaisons pour protéger notamment les cultures de tomate contre leurs principaux bioagresseurs (la mouche Tuta absoluta, le champignon responsable de la pourriture grise...
