📢📢📢RT: I am thrilled to share that our #research has been awarded funding by @ERC_Research at @INRAE_France 🎆
Anyone interested how #plants use volatiles to mediate #species interactions and protect themselves?
Get in touch: we're seeking #postdocs and #PhD starting 2025

None of this year's science Nobel Prizes have gone to women.
The number of these prizes to go to women remains at 27 out of more than 600.

The Food & Feed Safety Omnibus should not weaken rules for synthetic pesticides.
It should increase access to biocontrol while supporting a shift towards holistic plant health strategies that put prevention first. 🌱

Cette année, deux chercheurs INRAE figurent parmi les lauréats des ERC Starting Grants 2026 :
▪️ Lucie Mahaut, avec le projet OrphanCrops, qui vise à explorer la diversité encore largement méconnue des cultures orphelines et leur potentiel pour diversifier et renforcer les systèmes agricoles de demain.
▪️ Germain Montazeaud, avec le projet PHYTOPOGON, qui cherchera à déterminer si les plantes sont capables de reconnaître l’identité génétique de leurs voisines et d’adapter leurs interactions en conséquence, en testant chez les végétaux l’hypothèse de la « barbe verte ».
Félicitations à tous les deux ! 👏

Here is our experimental answer to the question how plant leaves take up volatiles. Primarily through the stomata, but also across the leaf surface, to enable stress volatile detection when stomata are closed. Tested with the very cool Kalanchoë laxiflora, which has two types of leaves with opposite stomatal opening patterns. Happy reading! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
