Micropeptides (miPEPs), or peptides coded by microRNAs, for promoting nodulation between a plant and a bacterium, as well as their use in this manner.

Method for promoting nodulation in plants

Process for detecting and identifying micropeptides (miPEPs) encoded by a nucleotide sequence contained in the sequence of the primary transcript of a microRNA and use thereof for modulating gene expression.

Micropeptides and use of same for modulating gene expression

Compositions containing micropeptides capable of modulating the accumulation of miRs involved in certain pathologies, and the use of these micropeptides for treating the certain pathologies. Also, methods of identifying these micropeptides modulating the accumulation of miRs involved in pathologies. Further, nuclei acids encoding those micropeptides that modulate the accumulation of miRs involved in pathologies.

Therapeutic peptides

A method for promoting mycorrhizal symbiosis between a plant and a fungus includes using micropeptides (peptides encoded by microRNAs or 'miPEPs').

Use of micropeptides in order to stimulate mycorrhizal symbiosis

The present invention relates to the use of micropeptides (peptides encoded by microRNAs or 'miPEPs') for promoting plant growth.
