🔎 #MTPSL are Microbial Terpene Synthase Like enzymes.

The study of these enzymes provides us insight into the specific biochemistry and also the molecular evolution of these enzymes that perform very interesting chemical steps.

✅For the development of bioengineering

Bryophytes transform and produce molecules faster than many other of plants, and can be grown in photo-bioreactors.

🪻My name is Lavandin. I’m a spontaneous hybrid. I arise from a natural cross between 2 species of lavender.

My parents are the True Lavender (L. angustifolia Mill.) and the Spike Lavender (L. latifolia Medik). They give birth to me where their geographical eras overlap, in South-East France. ☀️⬇️

🪻Lavenders are small shrubs that grow naturally in dry or arid environments, often at altitude (up to 1800 m).

They cover around 40 wild species a few spontaneous hybrids and two species cultivated on a large scale for their essential oils.

This Friday was the summer lab ! ☀️

🗓️ The program :
Visit the castle of Roche la Molière
Hiking and brainstorming
Group work
And good times with colleagues.

We thank Amiproche for the visit of the castle and @htsbiotechmoss.bsky.social for welcoming us!

A good way to start summer 😁 🌿

🔎 The secretory glands are responsible for the emission of essential oil in several plants.

As you now know from a previous post, in pelargoniums, they are found on the leaves

They are formed by small outgrowths called 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬.At their end, inside a round cuticle is the fragrant essential oil

⚕️International Day of Plant Health🌱

Our health and that of the planet depend on plants. They provide 98% of the oxygen we breathe 🌳

That's why today, Nazanin, our crop technician, will give you some advice to take care of your plants, and in particular roses🌹

Meet the Pelargonium! 🪴

The botanical genus #𝑃𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑚 covers 280 species.

It should be distinguished from the genus 𝐺𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑚.

Pelargonium have been studied in the laboratory for 12 years ⬇️

Confocal microscopy 🔬

🟢This optical microscope produces very shallow depth-of-field images using reflected light or fluorescence.

🟢We coloured rose petal sections with Nile Red to highlight the drops of essential oil inside the cells. They are called "lipid droplets".

The image is beautiful 😍

🐝 🌿 Spring of Sustainable Development 🌹 🪴

As part of this event, the LBVpam organised workshops on odours (of course!), campus biodiversity and pollinators.

Special thanks to our team members involved in this matter throughout the year!

𝑅𝑜𝑠𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠 ‘Old Blush’ 🌹
‘Old Blush’ like the cheek colour so popular in older times.
I come from China, my name is ‘Yueh Yueh Fen’. I was portrayed on Chinese silks around the year 1000 so I have a very respectable horticultural age.

Introducing the #Rose🌹
Originally they are wild flowers that cover 120 different species with 5 petals: the dog roses.
The rose has been studied in the lab for 25 years🌹For its cultural interest🌹For its biological interest🌹To help rose #breeders to better select #fragrant varieties
