OsCAldOMT1 is a bifunctional O-methyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of tricin-lignins in rice cell walls

Lignin is a phenylpropanoid polymer produced in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants. Although most eudicot and gymnosperm species generate lignins solely via polymerization of p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols (monolignols), grasses additionally use a fla ...

Responses of plant leaf economic and hydraulic traits mediate the effects of early- and late-season drought on grassland productivity

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Constant Signarbieux, Claire Emilie Deléglise, Amarante Vitra, Lia Aimée Marie-Joe Lamacque

Drought can occur at different times during the grassland growing season, likely having contrasting effects on forage production when happening early or later in the season. However, knowledge about the interacting effects of the timing of drought and the ...

Effects of Sphagnum Leachate on Competitive Sphagnum Microbiome Depend on Species and Time

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Samuel Thomas Gabriel Hamard

Plant specialized metabolites play an important role in soil carbon (C) and nutrient fluxes. Through anti-microbial effects, they can modulate microbial assemblages and associated microbial-driven processes, such as nutrient cycling, so to positively or ne ...

Impact of drought on the functioning of grassland systems

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Amarante Vitra

A rainfall manipulation experiment was conducted over a two-year period on two semi-natural grassland sites, in order to determine the effects of drought on both forage production (dry matter and nutritive value) and plant-soil relationships. Water stress ...

Effect of mechanical damage and wound healing on the viscoelastic properties of stems of flax cultivars (Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Eden and cv. Drakkar)

Véronique Michaud, Sara Dalle Vacche, Federica Sordo

As plant fibres are increasingly used in technical textiles and their composites, underlying principles of wound healing in living plant fibres are relevant to product quality, and provide inspiration for biomimetic healing in synthetic materials. In this ...

Ecological response of tree saplings to simulated climate change along an elevational gradient (CLIMARBRE)

María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

Switzerland will face higher temperature increases than the global average, which will have strong impacts on the mountain ecosystems. How tree species will respond to future climate change scenarios, and what mechanisms will they adopt, remains as a gap o ...

Stoichiometric N:P flexibility and mycorrhizal symbiosis favour plant resistance against drought

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Drought induces changes in the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycle but most plant species have limited flexibility to take up nutrients under such variable or unbalanced N and P availability. Both the degree of flexibility in plant N:P ratio and of ro ...
