I am a plant biologist with a broad background from physiology, cell signaling, omics and genetics. My research is currently focused on investigating the impact of water deficit on cell wall-related traits in maize using a multiscale systems approach.
Since 2022, I act as deputy director of IJPB in charge of the scientific strategy. My personal research interest is the discovery of new targets influencing cell wall digestibility in the context of climate change, particularly water deficit, in maize. Ongoing projects aim to:
1. Investigate the effect of different pedoclimatic conditions on both yield and digestibility (PhD work of Oscar Main 2021-2024, Plant2Pro MAMMA MIA project 2021-2024 and Plant2Pro CHAMPAGNE project 2023-2025).
2. Characterize the composition and tissue distribution of cell wall components in response to various pedoclimatic conditions (PhD work of Oscar Main 2021-2024, Plant2Pro MAMMA MIA project 2021-2024 and Plant2Pro CHAMPAGNE project 2023-2025).
3. Understand the molecular basis of variations in digestibility of forage maize in response to various pedoclimatic conditions (PhD work of Julien Roziere 2019-2022, Plant2Pro PLMViewer 2020-2023 and ANR Stat4Plant 2021-2025).
