Quantitative control of root architecture by non-coding RNAs.

Study of the role of long non-coding RNAs using multi-scale approaches (from the scale of the gene to the organ). In particular their role in the regulation of gene expression and their influence on the architecture of the root system.

Role of non-coding RNAs in adaptation to the environment.

Study of the importance of non-coding RNAs in the adaptation of Arabidopsis accessions to phosphate deficiency: sequence conservation, expression variation and control of root architecture.

The growth of Arabidopsis leaf at the cellular level.

Reconstruction of a 3D model of leaf primordia at the cellular scale to identify cellular characteristics associated with tooth formation.

Modeling the growth of Arabidopsis root.

Reconstruction of a 3D model of the root at the cellular level from confocal images. Characterization at the cellular level of the influence of light on root growth.

The role of NAM / CUC genes in leaf development.

Determination of the expression of NAM / CUC genes in different compound leaf species by in situ hybridization. Functional analysis of the role of these genes via mutants, transformants and silenced plants by VIGS. Characterization of the genetic interactions between the CUC2 / miR164A genes and other factors involved in Arabidopsis thaliana leaf serration.
