Functions - Thematic Research

Technical manager of laboratory and field experiments for research programs on the durability of resistance to aphids in melon.
My missions are in the current issue of sustainable agriculture through the use of plant resistance to pest and pathogens.  In the team “Melo”, I participate to researches on the genetic variability of plant resistance to aphids and the effect of the different resistance loci in plant on aphid populations.
