Teams
Fundamental Quantitative Genetics (GQF). Head: Christine Dillmann, University Paris Sud.
Modelling of quantitative variation, integrating the genetic, molecular, genomic, physiological (using the theory of metabolic control) and environmental levels.
Quantitative Proteomics and Molecular Genetics (GQMP). Head: Michel Zivy CNRS.
Molecular and physiological characterization of QTL involved in the responses of maize to drought stress using a “candidate gene and protein” approach. This strategy is based on a quantitative analysis of the variability of protein expression.
Evolutionary Genetics: Adaptation and Redundancy (GEAR). Head: Catherine Damerval, CNRS.
Study of evolutionary mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversity, with a particular interest in the role of genetic redundancy. The topics include the evolution of duplicated genes, domestication, polyploidy and floral symmetry.
Quantitative Genetics and Plant Breeding Methodology (GQMS). Head: Alain Charcosset, INRA.
Study of genetic bases of complex traits and mechanisms of response to selection, from the analysis of diversity in collections and experimental populations. Optimizing genetic resource management and selection process using the results of these studies and theoretical approaches.
Diversity, Evolution and Adaptation of Populations (DEAP). Head: Isabelle Goldringer, INRA.
Using wheat as the experimental model, study of the dynamic management of crop biodiversity and its exploitation through sustainable and innovative agro-ecosystems.
