McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

Impressive! What is the model behind ? And how future proof will this infrastructure be, even the UK is getting warmer in the summer !

Annual non-seed plant meeting 2026 - Sciencesconf.org Siencesconf.org

⚠️⚠️

@jacquet-chris.bsky.social and I are organizing the 2nd "non seed plant" French meeting.

As for the one in 2025, the goal is to better structure our emerging community across French institutes.

It will take place in Toulouse, June 24th-25th.

Registration 🔽

« La science est un monopole, non pas à cause d'une mauvaise organisation de l'instruction publique, mais par sa nature même ; les profanes n'ont accès qu'aux résultats, pas aux méthodes, ils ne peuvent donc que croire sans avoir assimilé. » (Simone Weil)
Mais que faire quand ils ne croient plus ?

A root symbiont rewires tomato polyamine network to enhance herbivore resistance | bioRxiv Plants rely on specialized metabolites to defend against herbivores, yet how root-associated symbiotic microbes influence their regulation, coordination, and overall contribution to defense remains widely unknown. We hypothesized that symbiotic microbes can reprogram specialized metabolic networks, thereby enhancing herbivore resistance, with a particular focus here on polyamine metabolic network. Using the fungal symbiotic endophyte Trichoderma harzianum, tomato, and the herbivore Spodoptera exigua, we combined greenhouse bioassays with molecular, genetic, and metabolomic analyses to investigate how Trichoderma symbiosis reshapes the plant polyamine metabolic network, and affects plant-herbivore interactions. We found that in the absence of the root symbiosis, herbivory primarily activated polyamine uptake transport and catabolism, reflecting a stress-driven turnover response. Trichoderma symbiosis markedly reconfigured the polyamine network. Symbiosis primed uptake transport and catabolic responses, enhanced polyamine flux through activation of the ornithine decarboxylase pathway, and redirected polyamines into conjugated metabolites with anti-herbivore activity. Genetic analyses confirmed that this metabolic rewiring contributes to Trichoderma-induced resistance to herbivory, linking primary metabolic routes to the accumulation of specialized defense compounds. Our study highlights root symbionts as key modulators of plant metabolism, showing that specialized metabolite diversity can be shaped by symbiotic interactions.
