Lignocellulosic Biopolymers: from Cell Wall Assemblies to Synthons for Green Chemistry
The Apsynth team investigates the formation of lignins in plant cell-walls and their reactivity upon lignocellulosic biomass processing.
Seed - Development, Regulation, and Metabolism
Seeds play fundamental roles in plant life and evolution, and for crop improvement. They also provide a large share of animal and human food and renewable raw materials for different industries.
Germination Physiology
PHYGERM team research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the key factors pre- or post- harvest that influence germination capacity and seedling vigour, with a focus on adaptive responses to environmental constraints.
