Institute of Biosciences and Biotechnologies of Aix-Marseille

Green Solutions for Tomorrow

The Aix-Marseille Institute of Biosciences and Biotechnologies (BIAM) is interested in the responses of living organisms to environmental constraints, and in the mechanisms of conversion of solar energy into a biomass rich in energy. It develops biotechnologies aimed at preserving the quality of the environment and health or at producing biofuels.

Plant Signaling for the Adaptation to Environment

To resist adverse environmental situations, plants have developed tolerance strategies based on the implementation of numerous biochemical and molecular mechanisms. For many years, the PPV team has been focusing on certain protein players that help plants adapt to fluctuations in their physical and biological environment.
