Quantitative Genetics and Evolution-The Moulon

Research unit

Description

The UMR teams Quantitative Genetics and Evolution-Le Moulon produce research on the themes of genetic selection and on the study of biodiversity with the aim of genetic cultivated plants improvement.
The agronomic interests concern the improvement of the growth characteristics, the development, the adaptation and the plants nutritional qualities. This work is carried out notably through important partnerships with major seed companies but also within the framework of major projects (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center).

Equipment(s) open to collaboration

Academics and industry:

- the Expression polymorphism (ACEP) workshop cartography
- bio-computing and computing platform (ABI)
- protéomique platform (PAPPSO) (Mass spectrometers)
- the Experimental Installation (IE)
- experimental installation 80ha among which 20 ha are dedicated each year to trials and nurseries. On 60 ha remainders, 20 ha are agricultural land whose quality does not allow the establishment of tests and 40 ha are devoted to the homogenization of land
