Oral presentations by PhD students from the 2024 cohort

These events are very fruitful, enabling enriching and constructive discussions between first-year PhD students, their referee and all the scientists and students at the IJPB. They also take part to the preparation of the PhD students for their future thesis defense.

Here are the 11 thesis topics covering a wide range of themes presented in 2 sessions:

> Caracterisation of TRM proteins during the early development of gynoecium in Arabidopsis thaliana and Capsella rubella
Loris Caillat-Miousse, "Spatial Control of Cell Division" SPACE team, Direction: Magalie Uyttewaal

> Role of sugar transporters in root development and rhizodeposition
Zhongting Deng, "Carbon, Allocation, Transport and Signaling" CATS team, Direction: Sylvie Dinant

> Cell cycle and cytoskeleton crosstalks for mitotic entry
Rith Théa Hak, "Spatial Control of Cell Division" SPACE team, Direction: David Bouchez & Martine Pastuglia

> Adressing the role of horizontal gene transfert in plant-insect interaction
Alexandra Jalaber Dupont de Dinechin, "Genomic Analysis of Plant-Parasite Interactions" AGIPP team, Direction: Florian Maumus

> Deciphering the roles of a plant oxysterol binding protein in selective autophagy and autophagosome biogenesis at membrane contact site

A 12th subject was presented ealier in 2024, in view of the student's arrival date during the year.

> Cell elimination in seeds
Miryam Iannaccone, "Chromatin Dynamics and Signalling" CHRODYNO team, Direction: Enrico Magnani


Research developed at the Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences in collaboration.
