Résumé: The growth and composition of fleshy fruits depend on resource acquisition and distribution in the plant. In tomato, the pedicel serves as the final connection between plant and fruit. However, very few quantitative data are available for the conducting tissues of the pedicel, nor is their genetic variability known. In the present study, a histological approach was combined with process-based modeling to evaluate the potential contribution made by the anatomy and histology of the pedicel to variations in fruit mass. Eleven genotypes were characterized and the impact of water deficit was studied for a single genotype using stress intensity and stage of application as variables. The results highlighted extensive variations in the relative proportions of the different pedicel tissues and in the absolute areas of xylem and phloem between genotypes. The model suggests that the variations in the area of the pedicel's vascular tissues induced by differences in genotype and water-deficit environments partly contributed to fruit mass variability. They therefore warrant phenotyping for use in the development of plant strains adapted to future environmental constraints. The results also demonstrated the need to develop non-invasive in vivo measurement methods to establish the number and size of active vessels and the flow rates in these vessels to improve prediction of water fluxes in plant architecture.

Résumé: This paper presents low-temperature measurements of magnetoresistivity in heavily doped n-type GaN grown by basic GaN growth technologies: molecular beam epitaxy, metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, halide vapor phase epitaxy and ammonothermal. Additionally, GaN crys-tallized by High Nitrogen Pressure Solution method was also examined. It was found that all the samples under study exhibit negative magnetoresistivity at low temperature (10 K < T < 50 K) and for some samples this effect is observed up to 100 K. This negative magnetoresistivity effect is analyzed in the frame of the weak localization phenomena in the case of three-dimensional electron gas in a highly doped semiconductor. This analysis allows to determine the phasing coherence time τφ for heavily doped n-type GaN. The obtained τφ value is proportional to T-1.34, indicating that the electron–electron interaction is the main dephasing mechanism for the free carriers.

Résumé: Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers with an increasing incidence due to a lack ofearly-stage diagnostics and effective treatment [1]. The RAS/RAF/ MAPK/CDK4 pathway is frequentlydysregulated in pancreatic cancer and CDK4 constitutes an attractive target since several drugs havebeen approved by the FDA to inhibit its activity: Abemaciclib, Ribociclib and Palbociclib [2,3] (Figure1) However these inhibitors are not efficient in monotherapy and have only been approved for breastcancer. In order to propose an efficient therapeutic strategy to target CDK4 in pancreatic cancer, wepropose to deliver Abemaciclib using carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are promising materials for nanomedicine applications and especially fordrug delivery. [4] In this project, we adsorb Abemaciclib onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT)for delivery of the drug into pancreatic cancer cells. In order to study adsorption, we investigate thechanges in the optical signatures of SWNTs in the near-infrared (NIR) by coupling NIR absorption,photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies. [5] Typical kinetic spectroscopic results, assigned tothe adsorption of Abemaciclib on SWNT, dispersed in water using carbomethylcellulose (CMC), arepresented in Figure 2. We discuss the results in terms of changes of the dielectric environment of thenanotubes, leading to modulation of their excitonic and optical properties. We have furtherinvestigated the inhibitory potential of SWNT-Abemaciclib on proliferation of PANC1 cells comparedto Abemaciclib alone and have determined the toxicthreshold of SWNT dispersed in CMC.

Résumé: Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a thermo-responsive polymer which undergoes a reversible coil-to-globule transition in water at temperatures close to the human body temperature [1]. Consequently, PNIPAM-based microgels show a volume phase transition (VPT) under heating. Photo-responsive hybrid microgels have been prepared by incorporating gold nanoparticles in PNIPAM microgels [2]. The outstanding photo-thermal and optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them promising candidates to prepare multi-responsive hybrid microgels. However, no thorough studies have been reported so far. In this work, we report the preparation and properties of aqueous dispersions of PNIPAM/SWNTs hybrid microgels (Figure 1a). We study their structure by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. We investigate their optical properties and changes when heated at the VPT by near infrared (NIR) absorption, Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies [3]. Furthermore, we use optical microscopy (Figure 1b), light scattering and NIR Raman/PL spectroscopy to show that the VPT transition can be triggered by NIR photo-thermal excitation.

Résumé: We present a phase-shifting digital holographic microscopy technique, where a digital micromirror device enables to perform a precise phase-only shift of the reference wave. By coupling the beam into a monomode fiber, we obtain a laser mode with a constant phase shift, equally acting on all pixels of the hologram. This method has the advantage of being relatively simple and compatible with high frame rate cameras, which makes it of great interest for the observation of fast phenomena. We demonstrate the validity of the technique in an off-axis configuration by imaging living paramecia caudata.

Résumé: The properties of vector vortex beams in vertical-cavity-surface emitting lasers with frequency-selective feedback is investigated. They are interpreted as high-order vortex solitons with a spatially non-uniform, but locally linear polarization state. In contrast to most schemes to obtain vector vortex beams relying on imprinting the polarization structure, vector vortex solitons form spontaneously due to the near polarization degeneracy in vertical-cavity devices. We observe radially, hyperbolic and spiral polarization configurations depending on small residual anisotropies in the system and multi-stability between different states. In addition, we demonstrate flip-flop operation of laser solitons via in principle local electronic nonlinearities. Combining the two themes might open up a route for a simple device enabling fast switching between different vector vortex beams for applications. The investigations connect nicely the fields of nonlinear science, singular optics, structured light and semiconductor laser technology.
