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.
The DECLIC group focuses on 3 research topics.
How do lipid metabolism and lipid droplet dynamics contribute to :
The DECLIC group research activities are carried out on several plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Camelina sativa and tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana), depending on the research projects. The group also uses yeast for specific projects.
The DECLIC group also brings together a wide range of expertise including molecular genetics, imaging, cell biology, biochemistry and lipid chemistry.

- oil quality?
- stress response?
- the development of engineering approaches?
