Root growth and development under heat and water stresses: a comparative study determining independent and combined effects in four grain legume spec…
2018
International audience; hanks to their ability to fix atmospheric dinitrogen in symbiosis with soil bacteria, grain legumes provide a sustainable way to ensure food and nutritional security. Unfortunately, these crops are highly susceptible to environmental constraints such as heat or water stresses which leads to fluctuating yields as compared to cereals. In the context of climate change, more frequent episodes of heat stress, concomitant (or not) with water stress are expected. This emphasizes the need to identify key plant traits towards a better yield stability under stressful conditions.

A new journal on the legume research horizon - Legume Perspectives; Legume Perspectives Editorial Board
2013
International audience; Through the decades of research on various legume species and crops worldwide, its results have been published in an endless number of national and international journals and magazines dealing with various topics. It is certain that the articles on genetics, propelled by Mendel’s pioneering work, are among the most numerous, but it is also true that those on agronomy, agro-ecology, or stress tolerance were produced rather abundantly. So far, there has not been a journal devoted specifically to legume science, except Legume Research published by the Agricultural Research Communication Centre, India. We have published our articles in several crop-specific journals, suc…

Rhizodeposition as a functional trait in legumes. Study of trade-off for plant productivity and resilience
2019
Rhizodeposition is the release of organic carbon (C) to the soil that connects the biotic and abiotic components of the C cycle. It can promote C storage to soil but also mediates plant-microbe interactions (Jones et al., 2009). These interactions are complexes as rhizodeposition will influence the composition and functioning of microbial populations which in return are able to increase the availability of nutrients in soil and provide protection against pathogens (Sasse et al., 2018). Despite their importance for current agriculture challenges, plant-soil microbes interactions remain poorly understood due to the methodological challenge they represent and the complexity of actors and proce…
Development of a knowledge graph framework to ease and empower translational approaches in plant research: a use-case on grain legumes
2023
Legumes, and especially pulses, are an important source of protein for food and feed, and are appreciated for their positive impact on the “one health”. However, their unstable yields and their susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses highlight the need for varietal improvement in order to increase the cultivated areas and productivity. With the advent of sequencing technologies, a large pool of genetic and -omics resources, heterogeneous at the inter- and intra-species scale, is emerging. Thus, it is important to capitalize on these scattered heterogeneous data to develop translational research to boost breeding projects and crop diversification. To meet this need, we undertook the de…
Démarches de biologie intégrative pour la compréhension des flux de carbone, azote et eau dans la plante
2021
Les démarches de biologie intégrative, qui ont constitué le fil rouge de l’ensemble de mes travaux de recherche ont été abordées au sein de deux Axes Thématiques principaux : un axe concernant la qualité des produits récoltés et un axe concernant la valorisation des interactions plante-microorganismes favorisant le prélèvement des ressources azotées en conditions hydriques fluctuantes. C’est sur ce dernier axe que je travaille depuis mon recrutement en tant que Chargée de Recherche au sein de l’UMR Agroécologie. Cette approche de biologie intégrative (multi-disciplinaire et multi-échelle) me permet de hiérarchiser les processus écophysiologiques, métaboliques et moléculaires qui pourront êt…
Legumes in 21st century Europe: present and future importance in agri-food systems? New challenges for reseach.
2013
Intensification of agriculture since 1950 has globally led to the decline of grain legume crops, which currently represent less than 3 % of arable crops in France and Europe. Nevertheless, legumes have several major assets (i) as plant proteins for animal feed and human food and (ii) as plants fixing atmospheric N2 and thereby saving nitrogen inputs in cropping systems, and (iii) as diversification crops. The analysis of forage and grain legume producing systems in France showed that the dominant system results in a lock-in of the different factors limiting legume insertion into the current systems. But legumes could have a major role to play in the agroecological transition towards more su…
