Scientific animation is organized around three main axes. Research teams are involved in the different axes at a degree represented by the colored bars. The objective is to encourage discussions and research projects between the teams. It is also to gain into generality and foster interdisciplinarity by mobilizing the variety of different skills within the research teams.

Axe 1 : Understanding and shedding light on evolutionary mecanisms
  • GEvAD
  • BASE
  • GE2MorF
  • GQMS
    • Our research contribute to a better understanding of the sources of genetic and epigenetic variations that shape phenotypic diversity. We also develop experimental and mathematical approaches to better understand genotype-phenotype relationship and the evolution of life-history traits.

Axe 2 : Understanding and predicting the genetic bases of interactions
  • DEAP
  • GQMS
  • BASE
  • GE2MorF
  • GEvAD
    • Our skills in quantitative genetics are used to question biological interactions at different scales, from genetic interactions (dominance, epistatis) to biotic interactions (between individuals from different species). In between, we are interested in genotype by environment interactions (GxE) and plant-plant interactions (GxGxE) measured at the individual or at the settlement scales. We develop integrative system’s genetics approaches.

Axe 3 : Understanding and mobilizing cultivated diversity to provide solutions for agriculture and its actors
  • DEAP
  • GQMS
  • GE2MorF
  • BASE
  • GEvAD
    • Our operational knowledge on the genetic resources of cultivated plants and our skills in selection methods for allogamous or autogamous plant species are used to meet the diversification challenges of the agroecological transition. Our specificities are the mastering of participatory plant breeding, genomic selection, and breeding for diversification (new plant traits, varietal and/or species mixtures).
