Saclay Plant Sciences (SPS)
France 2030

 

 

 

The Saclay Plant Sciences network brings together about 60 research teams specializing in plant sciences, from 6 institutes in the Paris region, and represents almost 800 people. The research activities of the SPS teams focus on understanding the mechanisms that control plant development and physiology, and their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. The studies carried out are multi-disciplinary and multi-scale. They use concepts and tools from biochemistry, biophysics, imaging, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, genomics, ecology, bioinformatics and modeling, and extend from genes to plants in their natural or agricultural environments.
