Sink-source driven metabolic acclimation of winter oilseed rape leaves (Brassica napus L.) to drought.

The crop cycle of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) incorporates source-to-sink remobilisation during the vegetative stage as a principal factor influencing the ultimate seed yield. These processes are supported by the coordinated activity of the plant's central metabolism. However, climate change-induced drought will affect the metabolic acclimation of WOSR sink/source relationships at this vegetative stage, with consequences that remain to be determined.

Leaf drought adaptive response in winter oilseed rape is altered at the onset of senescence: a study combining NMR relaxometry, multi-omics and microscopy.

Climate change is bringing more frequent and intense droughts, reducing overall water availability and adversely affecting crops. There is a need to improve our understanding of the tissular and cellular adaptation mechanisms that are critical for plant water conservation strategies. Here, we have used NMR relaxometry in combination with microscopy and multi-omic analysis to study the effects of progressive soil drought on winter oilseed rape (WOSR, Brassica napus L.

Identification of transcriptional modules linked to the drought response of Brassica napus during seed development and their mitigation by early biotic stress.

In order to capture the drought impacts on seed quality acquisition in Brassica napus and its potential interaction with early biotic stress, seeds of the 'Express' genotype of oilseed rape were characterized from late embryogenesis to full maturity from plants submitted to reduced watering (WS) with or without pre-occurring inoculation by the telluric pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb + WS or Pb, respectively), and compared to control conditions (C). Drought as a single constraint led to significantly lower accumulation of lipids, higher protein content and reduced longevity of the WS-treated seeds. In contrast, when water shortage was preceded by clubroot infection, these phenotypic differences were completely abolished despite the upregulation of the drought sensor RD20.

[Implementation of RPNs in psychiatry and mental health].

Advanced practice nursing, a profession created in 2018, is expanding rapidly in France. In order for it to be operational, but also to facilitate its deployment and implementation, changes in the legislative and regulatory texts concerning all the mentions are still necessary. For advanced practice nurses with a diploma in psychiatry and mental health, the challenges in terms of training, implementation and prospects for autonomy are significant in view of the difficulties in this care sector.
