PEPSS

PEPSS Plant Environmental Physiology and Stress Signaling How can we meet the future challenges of agriculture to face predicted climate change? Identification of the molecular mechanisms by which plants respond and resist environmental stresses is crucial to understanding the mechanisms underlying plant resistance to these conditions, as well as essential for developing future engineering strategies […]

PPV Research Themes

Research topics 1. Protection and signalization via thiol reductases Analysis of physiological functions of thiol reductases, enzymes controlling the redox status of proteins, in plant responses to environment constraints Reactive oxygen species lead to post-translational modifications that can provoke changes in activity and/or conformation of proteins. These modifications are generally irreversible except in the case […]

Plant Protective Proteins What are the proteins that protect plants from environmental constraints ? To tolerate unfavorable environmental situations, plants have developed strategies based on the implementation of numerous biochemical and molecular mechanisms. The PPV team is interested in deciphering the roles of protein players that contribute to the adaptation of plants to fluctuations in […]

P&E Research Themes

Research Themes Understanding how Photosynthesis Acclimates to the Environment Motivated by the advancement of scientific knowledge, our research topics can meet potential needs in agronomy, ecology, plant breeding, bioenergy or green biotechnologies. Indeed, scientific expertise in integrated photosynthesis is needed to invent solutions for adaptation or mitigation to climate change, to understand the acclimation of […]

P&E

Photosynthesis and Environment Team How does photosynthesis work? Photosynthesis is the biological mechanism of CO2 fixation and conversion of solar energy into sugar. Photosynthetic organisms manage, thanks to solar energy, to manufacture organic matter from inorganic matter. A better understanding of the process of photosynthesis allows for a better understanding of the productivity of plants […]

MEM research topics

Research topics Bacterial radioresistance and oxidative stress sensing By Laurence Blanchard and Arjan de Groot Our research aims to decipher the molecular mechanisms that confer Deinococcus bacteria extreme resistance to radiation and DNA-damaging stresses (e.g. desiccation, UV, mitomycin C (antibiotic, anti-cancer agent), and oxidative stress in general). In this context, our work focuses on the […]
