My research interest focuses on genetics of adaptation in plant populations, using Arabidopsis thaliana as an experimental model.
1. Flowering time and other life-history traits :
a. Experimental building of the first step of the adaptive walk to early-flowering: mass selection of spontaneous early-flowering mutants.
b. Molecular genetic basis for flowering-time and other life-history traits
c. Genetics of adaptation in French populations.
2. Pathogens resistance (coll. Joy Bergelson, University of Chicago) :
a. Molecular genetic basis for quantitative resistance
b. Co-evolution in the host-pathogen system A. thaliana – Pseudomonas viridiflava.
3. Herbicide resistance (PhD) :
a. Cost-benefit balance associated to herbicide resistance genes (experimentation)
b. Impact of environmental heterogeneity (spatial and temporal) on herbicide resistance propagation (theory)
