Objective
The primary objective is to produce basic knowledge on the mechanisms by which a variety of signals control growth and cell differentiation. The secondary objective will be to develop tools at cellular and molecular levels to render morphogenetic events accessible to scientific analysis.
The T-project will contribute to the elucidation of the mechanisms of action of plant signals, mostly how growth factors are perceived and transduced, and how individual cells are committed to differentiate. Five sub-groups integrate a variety of interests and expertise including molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, plant physiology, cytology, etc. All five give a marked attention to the regulation of the early steps of key morphogenetic events, with the following specific attributions :
Perception, interaction and response of plant growth regulators (see project "BIOT0158").
Molecular analysis of auxin-specific signal transduction in plant cell communication (see project "BIOT0178").
rol genes as privileged tools to study plant morphogenesis (see project "BIOT0179").
Molecular analysis of higher plant embryogenesis (see project "BIOT0177").
Regulation of the induction of microspore embryogenesis (see project "BIOT0160").
Interactions between the subgroups are based on common interests in the mechanisms of action of different growth factors, exchanges of methodologies and analytical tools, transfer of knowledge from gene expression studies to the field of hormone perception, similarity of communication pathways which determine the fate of various developmental processes, cross-links between auxin responses and somatic embryogenesis.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
