The Three Research Areas at IPS2

At IPS2, research focuses on three areas, all of which address major societal challenges such as climate change and sustainable agriculture. The work aims to drive innovation in key fields: creating new traits in plants, developing biological alternatives to agricultural chemicals, and improving plant breeding through genomics. Each area is led by a pair of principal investigators who coordinate its scientific direction.

 

 

 

Climate Change and Plant Resilience

axis1

Understanding how plants are affected by ongoing climate change and proposing innovative strategies to improve their resilience to multiple stresses Chromatin Organization and Dynamics

 

Chromatin Organization and Dynamics

axis2

Understanding how evolution, adaptation to the environment, and the expression of plant genomes are coordinated by epigenetic regulations, the dynamics of transposable elements, and the three-dimensional structure of chromatin

 

Signaling and Development.

axe3

Understanding how plants adapt their development to environmental changes via specific signaling pathways, particularly in the context of stress caused by climate change
