My research deals with the evolution of plant breeding systems, in particular gynodioecy (the occurrence in populations of hermaphrodite and female plants). As an evolutionary geneticist, my work focuses on :
- the identification of the genetic factors that control male fertility (cytoplasmic and nuclear),
- as well as the evolutionary forces that influence their polymorphism in populations, with a focus on structural evolution of the mitochondrial genome.
