Origins of divergence – The causes of pre- and post-zygotic isolation barriers in Spodoptera frugiperda – ORIGINS
This project aims at deciphering the factors at play in the divergence of the two sympatric strains of the fall armyworm (FAW) named corn- and rice-strain from their preferences for different host plants . This noctuid moth is an ideal model organism to investigate different reproductive barriers causing speciation. While indistinguishable, the two strains can be differentiated genetically, and they exhibit phenotypic differences that can function as pre-or post-zygotic reproductive barriers.

Affective Force Fields in Urban Space – SPACEFORCE
What makes a city place attractive? This question has both scientific and political relevance, as many major cities face current challenges such as population growth, soaring rents, and increased social segregation among different districts. Various disciplines, such as architecture, urban planning and economics, have extensively studied this question. We address important gaps by applying a socio-psychological perspective.

Longitudinal study on ageing and social inequality – ELVIS
The project analyzes inequalities among different cohorts of older adults (aged 62 to 87) longitudinally according to gender, social background, career paths, family history, residential history, and migration history.
Genetic traits required by bacterial phytopathogens for plant infection and fitness in non agricultural habitats using high-throughput transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) – TNPHYTO
Bacteria of plant pathogenic species can be isolated from various environments such as soil, water or healthy wild plants. We propose to work on strains of phytopathogenic bacteria isolated from the environment to identify the genetic determinants enabling their growth and survival in plants but also in an environmental substrate, river water, a major vector of dissemination.
Role of potassium transport in rice in securing high crop yields – RiceKTrans
Crops that use nutrients more efficiently than currently available varieties can help achieve more sustainable agriculture. Potassium (K+) is the most absorbed cationic nutrient by the plant. However, little is known about the transport proteins that mediate K+ fluxes in cereals. In the proposed project, we will study K+ efflux channels and K+ transporters that enable K+ nutrition of aerial parts in rice.
Selecting for cooperative crops to develop sustainable agriculture – SCOOP
Agriculture must ensure sufficient production while limiting its impact on the environment. Cultivated plants sometimes waste resources by competing with each other, for example by growing tall to capture light, to the detriment of grain production. Crop density greatly affects the intensity of competition for resources and is now a limiting factor on yield.
