Research interests

My research focuses on the dynamic management of crop diversity and the development of diversity-based strategies for more sustainable agro-ecosystems.

Dynamic management of crop populations, i.e. growing genetically heterogeneous crop populations in different environments for several generations allowing for extinction, recolonization and migration among populations, has been suggested as a strategy for the conservation of genetic resources.

I develop research in evolutionary genetics applied to subdivided self-pollinating populations with particular focus on the middle-term effects of selection on genetic diversity, and on the adaptive mechanisms involved in response to local selection.

I also develop more applied research using our understanding of the mechanisms governing the evolution of the experimental wheat populations to design more efficient modalities for the dynamic management / in situ conservation of the genetic diversity of cultivated species and to set up participatory breeding programmes involving farmers’ networks. These approaches particularly address the context of organic agriculture and other low-input agricultural systems.

Since 2007, I have been responsible for a inter-disciplinary research project on the assessment of wheat in situ genetic diversity in France. A historical approach over the 20th century was conducted with the support of FRB (2009-2011). The project has collected complementary data on potential determinants of spatial wheat diversity during the 1980-2006 period with the support of the Labex BASC (2015-2016) and IDEEV (2017).
