It is crucial to understand the diversification of tropical plants within the pool
of species for biodiversity. Conservation, management and the utilisation of
plants are major challenges in sustainable development.
The ADvENS team is based in the DIADE research unit and works on research
topics by studying changes to the genomes and transcriptomes in tropical
trees, in relation to environmental constraints, adaptive divergence and
methods to regulate specialised metabolisms. Wild and domesticated coffee
plants are used as references.
The team also works to preserve biodiversity and manages the Biological Resource Centre for wild coffea plant species in Saint Pierre (La Réunion) at the Bassin Martin experimental station (http://florilege.arcadproject.org/fr/collections/collection-coffea)
Areas of expertise
-Tropical plants genomic research
-Biology and metabolism of tropical seeds
-Cryopreservation of tropical seeds
