PTL 1 – Adaptation des plantes aux changements globaux

Projet Thématique Long 1 “Adaptation des plantes aux changements globaux” Call for proposals : exploratory projects and PhD projects

Date limite de soumission : 7 avril 2025 17h00

The PTL1 aims to deepen our understanding of how plants, in interaction with associated organisms, respond to and adapt to a changing environment. The objective is to better grasp their adaptation capabilities and explore ways to enhance them, in order to achieve better resilience of ecosystems and agroecosystems while ensuring sustainable agricultural production in the context of global changes. The project seeks to unite the expertise and knowledge of research teams working at different scales and using various disciplinary approaches (physiology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, phytopathology) on environmental constraints or stresses as diverse as physical-chemical changes in the atmosphere and soil or the influence of pathogenic, symbiotic, or commensal organisms. Two levels of integration will be considered: plant responses to combinations of stresses (both biotic and abiotic) as well as the integration of different scales (from molecules to whole plants and their interactions within a population).

As part of the implementation of this project, two types of calls for proposals are offered: exploratory scientific projects and PhD fellowships.
