Project description:Comparative metabolomics study of fungal foliar endophytes and their long-lived host, the Rainforest palm Astrocaryum sciophilum: a model for deciphering host-microbe interactions and exploring metabolite chemodiversity.
Project description:Examining how 16 fungal endophytes shift plant phenotypic traits such as growth and physiology, and how those relate to changes in metabolomics profiles
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator Geissois pruinosa (Rubiaceae) endemic from New Caledonia was compared to the closely related non-accumulator Geissois racemosa, living respectively in serpentine maquis or rainforest on limestone, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.

Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dietary plant and animal proteins on gut metabolism and markers for colorectal cancer as well as blood protein metabolites and markers for type 2 diabetes in healthy adults. The study participants will be stratified into three groups with different protein composition in diets: 1) animal 70%/plant 30%; 2) animal 50%/plant 50% and 3) animal 30%/plant 70%. The participants will get part of their diet as ready foods or raw material to promote their compliance. The participants will also get personal advice for their diets. Blood, stool and urine samples will be collected in the beginning and in the end of the 12 week intervention, as well as phenotype measures like BMI, blood pressure and body composition. The participants will also fill food diary before and in the end of the intervention.
Project description:Two potato cultivars, Russet Burbank and Bionta, were inoculated with three different endophytes containing different AHL types. The impact of the endophytes to the different cultivars was measured by gene expression analysis with a customized microarray
