Identifying how the local cytokinin pathway interacts with ethylene biosynthesis and signaling to regulate nodulation and root system architecture (coordination: Mathias Brault).
Determining the root cell-type specific impact of an expanded repertoire of signaling peptide families in mediating beneficial plant-bacteria interactions (coordination: Florian Frugier).


Integrating the chromatin and transcriptional regulations involved in response to different nutrients and beneficial microbes (coordination: Camille Fonouni-Farde).
Expanding the role of local and systemic pathways identified in the context of the rhizobium nitrogen-fixing symbiosis to other beneficial plant-microbe interactions (coordination: Axel de Zélicourt).


Analyzing how rhizobia or beneficial bacteria can improve plant stress resilience in symbiotic legume plants, especially through the systemic priming of defense responses (coordination: Anouck Diet).
Integrating, in the context of climate change, how different nutrients such as CO2 and phosphate availability, impact root nodulation, notably through the CEP/CRA2 nitrogen-related signaling pathway (coordination: Florian Frugier).
