- >Offers to companies
Examples of topics for collaboration
- Characterize the diversity of your genetic resources at the molecular level
- Improve your breeding programs on various ornamental species
- Improve cultivation itineraries to direct the shape of your plants or boost their production in metabolites
- Investigate the hormonal regulation of bud bursting
- Evaluate new cultivars of ornamental plants
- Assess the acceptability of your innovations and help you co-design your products with consumers
- Develop in vitro multiplication tools
- To develop alternative methods to fight pathogens and pests (biocontrol, elicitors, etc.)
- Identify markers for plant disease resistance
SUCCESS STORY - Hydrangea diseases, very promising results
|
Lionel Chauvin, |
« The winter storage of Hydrangea is a very sensitive and crucial phase in order to maintain the quality standard demanded by our customers. For many years now, we have struggled to reduce disease-related losses. Together with our colleagues from Angers and our research partners, ( IRHS Arch-E team , UP Ephor of Agrocampus Ouest and BIOGER unit of INRA-Grignon) we wanted to deepen our knowledge, hence the implementation of the collaborative project Physi'Ho. This project enabled us to work on three axes (plant physiology, characterization of the pathosystem and climate) to implement an anticipatory production strategy in order to better fight the disease. New lines of complementary research have been highlighted and they offer prospects for future work.” |
