Rhizosphere Revelations: Microbial Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture

Professor Jacquot has contributed to the elucidation of redox regulation in plants. Study of the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems and their molecular targets. His technical competence includes: plant biochemistry, genetic engineering, site directed mutagenesis, protein structure function relationship. He has 230 articles published in peer reviewed international journals. 180 accessible in Pubmed, 228 in ISI web. He has also been the Series Editor for Advances in Botanical Research (Elsevier) since 2011 and Editorial Board member of The Journal of Biological Chemistry from 2008-2013. He has been a senior member of Institut Universitaire de France since 2007 and received Gay-Lussac von Humboldt Prize Bundes Republik Deutschland Académie des sciences française, mention Biology 2009-2010. His past and present administrative duties include Member of Conseil National des Universités section 66 (2005-2007and 2011-today), Director of Structure Fédérative 4242 Ecosystèmes forestiers, Agroressources, Bioprocédés et Alimentation (EFABA) (since 2004), Director of Pôle de recherches A2F (Agronomie Agroalimentaire Forêt), Université de Lorraine (2006-2011, 2012-today) and Head of the group «Stress response and redox regulation » of UMR Interactions Arbres Microorganismes till 2012. Dr. Yinglong Chen is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at The University of Western Australia. With over 30 years of research experience, Dr. Chen’s work focuses on the structure and functions of plant roots and rhizosphere interactions. Through the development of innovative phenotyping platforms, he has pioneered world-first studies that characterize root trait variability across diverse germplasms in major food crops and their responses to environmental stressors. Dr. Chen has authored over 400 publications, including 11 authored books. His extensive body of work and leadership in editorial roles underscore his commitment to advancing agricultural science and fostering innovation in the field.
