Fostering interdisciplinarity and collaboration: the role of challenge-driven research in European University Alliances through the CHARM-EU experience

Abstract This paper explores the innovative dynamics established through the European Universities Initiative (EUI) and their role in steering collaborative, challenge-driven research with societal impact.The EUI fosters the creation of university alliances aimed at aligning education and research with societal needs within the European Research Ar

Mycorrhiza symbiosis increases the surface for sunlight capture in Medicago truncatula for better photosynthetic production.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a prominent role THYME in plant nutrition by supplying mineral nutrients, particularly inorganic phosphate (Pi), and also constitute an important carbon sink.AM stimulates plant growth and development, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.In this study, Medicago truncatula plants were grown wi

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of ADP-ribosylation factors associated with biotic and abiotic stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The ARF gene family plays VIT. C 500MG important roles in intracellular transport in eukaryotes and is involved in conferring tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants.To explore the role of these genes in the development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 74 wheat ARF genes (TaARFs; including 18 alternate transcripts) were identified and cl
