The Chromosome Dynamics team at IPS2 identified a global mechanism of transcriptional repression in Arabidopsis hal-05394413 #PlantScience cnrs.hal.science/hal-05394413
Model describing the role of LD in transcription regulation A. A complex comprising LD is recruited to transcription sites thanks to its ability to interact with the MED18 subunit of the Mediator complex. RNA Pol II dephosphorylation decreases the transcription rate. B. Hypothesis concerning the role of LD during replication stress: after detecting collisions between the replication and transcription machinery, the recruitment of LD may enable the inhibition of transcription, the resolution of the transcription/replication conflict, and the replication fork restart

A review from F. Frugier' team aiming at identifying the common molecular mechanisms associated to the different beneficial plant-microbe symbiotic and endophytic interactions
ips2.u-psud.fr/en/articles/... #PlantScience
Plants establish beneficial interactions with both fungi and bacterial microbes that they attract from the soil rhizosphere by producing signalling molecules under conditions of nutritional deficiency. (A) arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, (B) nitrogen-fixing rhizobial nodulation symbiosis, (C) other beneficial plant-fungi interactions, such as the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis (ECM) and the association with Trichoderma or Mucoromycotina ‘fine root endophytes’ (MFRE), (D) interactions with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Figure generated using BioRender (https://biorender.com/).

Have a look to the new study from Rigaill et al @IPS2 on a new method based on computational geometry for real-time changepoint detection in “big data”. doi.org/10.1093/jrss... ips2.u-psud.fr/en/articles/...
For a single change in a univariate data-stream Yi, the connection states that only the vertical changes red dotted lines (on the left), corresponding to the red dots on the hull of the cumulative sum of the data (t, Σt Yi; on the right), can optimize the fit to the data.
