TRAINING
I obtained my PhD in 2002 at the University of Sciences in Montpellier (France). I worked in Molecular Physiology on the regulation of root nitrate transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana (BPMP, INRA Montpellier, A. Gojon's team). I joined the GAFL unit (INRA d'Avignon, France, M. Causse's team) in 2003 where I worked on the genetic basis of tomato fruit quality for 8 years. I joined the LIPM (INRA Toulouse, France) in 2011. I have acquired an expertise in genetics and genomics for the characterization of traits with agronomic interest. I coordinate the projects on sunflower resistance to broomrape (O. cumana), a parasitic plant that reduces yields in Europe and Asia.

RESEARCH SUBJECTS
Genotyping and molecular characterization of genes involved in the resistance to biotic stresses in sunflower (Orobanche cumana and mildew).
TRAINING
I am a research technician, an expert in molecular biology. I obtained my assistant engineer diploma in plant biotechnology, specializing in Plant Genetic Improvement, in 2008. I started in research in the Laboratory of Genomics and Fruit Biotechnology, where I was able to acquire technical knowledge in several fields (molecular biology, microscopy, proteomics…). I continued to gain professional experience working in a water analysis laboratory, this time focusing on water chemistry. I was then recruited in 2012 at INRAE, first as a technical assistant; then, with the experience acquired, I was able to pass the internal competitive examinations in order to be a research technician today. I am currently working within the Sunflower Pests Interactions team, led by Stéphane Muños. My main activities concern genotyping by molecular method, as well as genome analysis by bioinformatics. I contribute to many team projects, including the International Consortium of Sunflower Genomics (ICSG).

Molecular and cellular Characterization of sunflower resistance to Orobanche cumana.
TRAINING
I started my career at the CNRS as an assistant engineer in the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology laboratory at Sophia Antipolis. I was involved in the cloning and biochemical characterization of novel mammalian phospholipases A2. I then joined the Biochemistry of Cellular and Molecular Regulatory Signals laboratory in Paris to work on the structure/function relationship of the HSC70 chaperone protein.
In 2003, I was recruited by INRA as a research engineer at the Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin. First I was in charge of a technical platform dedicated to the expression of recombinant proteins. Between 2012 and 2016, I completed a doctoral thesis on the formation of double-strand breaks during meiosis in the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana. In 2019, I started a new project on the identification by a reverse genetic approach of new genes involved in meiotic recombination in this same species.
In 2024, I joined the SPI team at LIPME in Toulouse to work on the molecular and cellular characterization of the interaction between sunflower and the parasitic plant Orobanche cumana in order to develop new tools for eradicating this pathogen.

PlantAlliance Cotagene project: Control of the sunflower broomrape using agroecological and genetic tools
TRAINING
I began studying parasitic plants during my M2 internship in Philippe Delavault's lab at the Plant Biology and Pathology Laboratory in Nantes (now known as US2B). I worked on the ANR miPEPiTO project, which aimed to control broomrape development using micropeptides, focusing on haustorium formation. After obtaining my Master's degree in plant biology from Clermont Auvergne University in 2019, I took the competitive exams of the doctoral schools of Angers and Dijon before starting a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology at INRAE in Dijon. Under the supervision of Marie-Claire Héloir and Benoît Poinssot, I worked on the Plant2Pro VitiLYKs project, focusing on the functional characterization of grapevine immune receptors. The long-term objective of this research project was to improve the effectiveness of biocontrol products based on chitooligosaccharides. During my PhD, I gained solid knowledge of plant immunity and developed various skills in in vitro culture, genome editing, plant transformation, and protein-protein interactions. I defended my thesis in 2023 at the University of Burgundy and then moved to INRAE in Toulouse for my first post-doctoral position. In collaboration with Célia Seassau from the AGIR lab and Stéphane Muños from the LIPME lab, I am currently studying the effects of plant compounds on sunflower broomrape germination. Through this project, we aim to develop new control methods for this parasitic plant, which could reduce the phytosanitary pressure on new sunflower varieties resistant to O. cumana and enhance our understanding of this crop pest's development.

The STIGO ANR project: Transcriptomic analyses to identify candidate genes involved in the stimulation of Orobanche cumana seed germination.
TRAINING
After obtaining my Master's degree in Plant Biology in 2023 at the Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse (France), I joined the SPI team as an engineer for the private company Innolea in order to conduct transcriptomic analyses as part of the STIGO project. This project brings together five partners (public laboratories and a private company) with the aim of identifying candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis of germination-inducing molecules of broomrape seeds, an obligatory parasitic plant of sunflowers. In addition, sunflower root exudates and the receptors of inducer molecules in broomrape are being studied.
During my degree, I did a 6-month internship with the ECOGEN team of the LIPME on the subject of plant-plant interactions and, more specifically, competition between A. thaliana and the Poaceae Poa annua through the functional analysis of putative interactors of the ESC-1 gene (subject of M. Invernizzi's thesis). I also had a 2-month internship at the CEA of Cadarache to study guard cell signaling in A. thaliana in response to water stress using genetic and cell imaging approaches.

TRAINING
I'm an agronomic engineer from the Higher National School of Agronomy in Montpellier (1983). I began my career in the seed company “les Graines Caillard” (France) with the use of in vitro culture at the service of vegetable breeders, then I pursued at “Biotechnica International Inc.” (Boston, USA) with the optimization of the genetic transformation of the lucerne. I was then recruited at INRA (1992) as a research engineer at LIPM in Thierry Huguet's team to work on the setting up of the transformation by Agrobacterium tumefaciens of the model legume Medicago truncatula. I conducted my doctoral thesis on this topic and I contributed to various aspects of M. truncatula transformation, including transformation by A. rhizogenes. I joined David Barker's group in 1998 to work on the study of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, and more particularly on cell dynamics approaches using confocal microscopy combined with fluorescent markers. This work led me to the development of the use of fluorescent calcium probes called “cameleon” to study calcium signal variations during the early stages of symbiotic interactions. In September 2017, I joined LIPM's Sunflower Genetics and Genomics team to work on sunflower root phenotyping, in particular during the interaction between sunflower and the parasitic plant Orobanche cumana.
