PEPSS Research Themes

Research topics Photooxidative stress (M. Havaux) Oxidative stress and non-stomatic responses to water stress Many environmental stress conditions inhibit plant photosynthesis, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species in the chloroplasts and causing oxidation of macromolecules. We have identified oxidation products of the carotenoid β-carotene generated under photooxidative stress conditions, such as β-cyclocitral (β-CC) […]

PEPSS Plant Environmental Physiology and Stress Signaling How can we meet the future challenges of agriculture to face predicted climate change? Identification of the molecular mechanisms by which plants respond and resist environmental stresses is crucial to understanding the mechanisms underlying plant resistance to these conditions, as well as essential for developing future engineering strategies […]

PPV Research Themes

Research topics 1. Protection and signalization via thiol reductases Analysis of physiological functions of thiol reductases, enzymes controlling the redox status of proteins, in plant responses to environment constraints Reactive oxygen species lead to post-translational modifications that can provoke changes in activity and/or conformation of proteins. These modifications are generally irreversible except in the case […]

Plant Protective Proteins What are the proteins that protect plants from environmental constraints ? To tolerate unfavorable environmental situations, plants have developed strategies based on the implementation of numerous biochemical and molecular mechanisms. The PPV team is interested in deciphering the roles of protein players that contribute to the adaptation of plants to fluctuations in […]

P&E Research Themes

Research Themes Understanding how Photosynthesis Acclimates to the Environment Motivated by the advancement of scientific knowledge, our research topics can meet potential needs in agronomy, ecology, plant breeding, bioenergy or green biotechnologies. Indeed, scientific expertise in integrated photosynthesis is needed to invent solutions for adaptation or mitigation to climate change, to understand the acclimation of […]
