Dynamics and Structure of Lipid Bodies
Most organisms store lipids or oils in intracellular organelles called lipid droplets (LD). Located at the crossroads of the accumulation, storage and mobilization of lipids, LDs have been the subject of few studies compared to the other important factors for lipid synthesis and mobilization.
Dynamics and Engineering of Lipidic Compartments
Lipids are essential molecules involved in cell structure, signaling and obviously in the formation of reserves but also in the response to stress. These different functions interact and contribute to the proper function of plants, but also are the source of new applications.
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.
