RESEARCH TOPICS

My work combines the tools of molecular biology and physiology and focuses on the interaction of plants with their environment. Understanding these plant-environment relationships means learning how to better use plants to face the major environmental challenges of the 21st century. Developing a resilient agriculture that will be able to cope with climate change, reduce the production of greenhouse gases, and clean up the soil, water and air are some of the services that can be provided by plants.

As a phytotechnologist, my objective is to refine our understanding of the natural mechanisms that allow plants to establish themselves in these stressful contexts. The intention is to be able to propose more reliable and efficient
