Diversification des productions végétales et nouveaux défis pour l’alimentation : perspectives d’innovations de valorisation des plantes pour une alimentation durable- "Saclay Plant' Innov", 12 mar...
Le réseau Sciences des Plantes de Saclay (SPS) et les unités de recherche SayFood et PNCA vous invitent à la prochaine journée des rendez-vous de l’innovation, sur le thème de la diversification des productions végétales et des nouveaux défis pour l’alimentation. Cette journée a pour but de favoriser les échanges entre les équipes de recherche du réseau SPS, des unités SayFood et PCNA et des partenaires du secteur privé pour faire émerger de nouveaux projets innovants.   Les produits végétaux sont une source majeure de macro et micronutriments pour l’alimentation humaine. Leur rôle dans la diversification des sources protéiques suscite un intérêt croissant dans le contexte de la transition agroécologique, notamment en vue de substituer certains produits alimentaires d’origine animale. Cette dynamique implique une évolution et une adaptation des systèmes de cultures, avec un regain d’intérêt pour les espèces végétales riches en protéines et en lipides. Cette diversification s’accompagne d’une attention particulière portée aux qualités nutritionnelle et organoleptique, à la biodisponibilité et la bioaccessibilité de certains nutriments ainsi qu'aux propriétés technologiques de ces produits. Elle génère également de nouvelles contraintes sur les procédés de transformation, de fractionnement et de purification, ainsi que sur la valorisation des coproduits. Cette évolution nécessaire des productions végétales répond aussi aux attentes des consommateurs en matière de santé et d’alimentation, mais également aux questions d'éthique. Une meilleure compréhension de ces différents leviers, de la production à la consommation, est primordiale pour accélérer les transitions agroécologiques et alimentaires.

Un système aéroponique permettant de caractériser les exsudats racinaires du maïs en relation avec la nutrition azotée et phosphorée et la symbiose mycorhizienne arbusculaire
L'agriculture durable est essentielle pour répondre à la demande alimentaire. Il est indispensable de comprendre les interactions entre les plantes et le sol pour optimiser les rendements des cultures et apporter moins d'intrants (engrais et traitements chimiques). Les exsudats racinaires régulent le cycle des nutriments et les interactions entre les plantes et les microbes.   À l'aide d'une co-culture de maïs et d’un champignon mycorhizien en système aéroponique , l’équipe d’Alia Dellagi à l’Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin - Sciences du Végétal - IJPB (INRAE/AgroParisTech/UPSaclay, Versailles) a montré comment Rhizophagus irregularis et les rapports  azote/phosphore (N/P) influencent le niveau des métabolites spécialisés (MS) des exsudats racinaires. Ce dispositif unique mis au point permettra d'étudier les exsudats racinaires des racines mycorhizées, ce qui constitue une avancée majeure.   En résumé, cette étude montre le potentiel des systèmes aéroponiques en tant qu'outil robuste pour simuler les conditions physiologiques, offrant ainsi la possibilité de récolter des informations uniques pour comprendre comment les exsudats racinaires influencent l'assemblage du microbiote en fonction de la disponibilité des nutriments. Les développements futurs pourraient impliquer l'utilisation de consortiums microbiens (CMA + bactéries) dans le système aéroponique afin d'étudier le rôle de la composition des exsudats racinaires et de la symbiose sur l'assemblage et le fonctionnement du holobionte végétal en relation avec le génotype de l'hôte et les facteurs environnementaux tels que la disponibilité des nutriments.   Légende Figure : Culture aéroponique de maïs mycorhizée par le champignon mycorhizien à arbuscules  Rhizophagus irregularis.   -> Contact : alia.dellagi@agroparistech.fr

Postdomestication selection of MKK3 shaped seed dormancy and end-use traits in barley, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41196947
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Postdomestication selection of MKK3 shaped seed dormancy and end-use traits in barley
"Anthropogenic selection of grain traits such as dormancy has shaped the developmental trajectories of crops. In cereals, shortening dormancy provides rapid and even postharvest germination, but increases the risk of weather-induced preharvest sprouting, with yearly harvest losses beyond 1 billion dollars. Our understanding of how, why, when, and where cereal dormancy diversification arose is fragmentary. Here, we show in the founder crop barley (Hordeum vulgare) that dormancy is primarily regulated through a mosaic of locus haplotypes comprising copy number variation and inherent kinase activity of Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3). We provide evidence supporting the historical selection of specific MKK3 haplotypes that shaped dormancy levels according to changing climatic pressures and outline a genetic framework for breeders to balance grain dormancy and preharvest sprouting avoidance".

ARF3-mediated auxin signaling is essential for sex determination in cucumber, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41379936
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
ARF3-mediated auxin signaling is essential for sex determination in cucumber
"Sex determination underpins genesis of male and female flowers with particularly important implications in plant breeding. Auxin and ethylene regulate femaleness in cucurbits. In this work, we identified an auxin response factor 3 (CsARF3) that plays an essential role in carpel development in cucumber. Deletion of CsARF3 resulted in an androecious phenotype with only male flowers, whereas overexpression of CsARF3 led to an increased number of female flowers. CsarF3 promotes femaleness by directly stimulating the expression of the meristem maintenance gene CsSTM and repressing the activity of the gynoecious gene CsWIP1. Auxin and ethylene exhibit a reciprocal relationship during sex determination, in which ethylene promotes carpel formation through auxin at the early stage of flower development. The auxin signaling in carpels then enhances ethylene biosynthesis to inhibit stamen development"

4th International Congress on Strigolactones (ICS2026) - Paris, 5-8 October 2026
ICS2026 PARIS FRANCE Strigolactones are plant signalling molecules that regulate endogenous developmental processes and are secreted by the roots of many mono-and dicotyledonous plants into the rhizosphere. There, strigolactones can induce the germination of seeds of the root-parasitic broomrapes and witchweeds. SLs have also been shown to stimulate the symbiotic interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi which directly benefits the host plants’ growth and development through the acquisition of phosphate and other mineral nutrients from the soil. In addition to these functions in the rhizosphere, SLs are a novel class of plant hormones regulating plant growth and development, including root and shoot architecture. An increasing number of scientists is working on the biological roles of the strigolactones and the mechanisms involved, as well as on their (bio)synthesis and perception/downstream signalling. In this 4th International Congress on Strigolactones we intend to bring together these scientists to exchange ideas and knowledge and to increase the solidarity and collaboration in the strigolactone community. The congress will be organized in FIAP: https://www.fiap.paris/en/ The FIAP is an international center for meetings and accommodations located in the heart of Paris in the 14th arrondissement.
