As a systems engineer, I am responsible for the i-Trop shared bioinformatics platform. Through this ISO 9001-certified platform, I provide computing resources to scientists from four joint research units and their partners, and train them in their use for bioinformatics analyses. My work also involves supporting partners in the Global South in the deployment of […]

I use population genetics tools to study the history of domestication, examining both the human and plant components of the evolutionary process. The questions that interest me include: When, how, and under what population models were plants domesticated? When, where, and how did they spread? Were human migrations aligned with the dispersal of plants? Did […]

My current research focuses on the function of key genes involved in the capacity of the abscission zone (AZ) to undergo cell separation, which determines the timing of abscission in the ripe fruits of the monocotyledonous oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Comparative molecular, cellular, genomic, and genetic studies are used to understand the function of the […]

My research focuses on the genetic and environmental factors that govern inflorescence development, particularly with respect to the rice panicle and to sex determination in the dioecious palm genus Chamaedorea. Genomic resources are being developed in collaboration with colleagues from DIADE and USAC (Guatemala) for the pacaya palm Chamaedorea tepejilote, a species domesticated in Central […]

I work on dissecting the genetic and agronomic traits responsible for improved crop performance under drought stress, as well as on the intensification of millet and sorghum cultivation.

Vaissayre Virginie

As a phytochemical engineer, I participate in research on the chemical diversity of tropical plants, particularly on lipid biosynthesis: triacylglycerols, waxes, lipid vitamins (carotenoids, tocochromanols), and secondary metabolites (diterpenes, methylxanthines, caffeine). I specialize in the development of analytical methods within the chemistry platform, which I coordinate and manage (website).

My research aims to analyze the history and diversity of plants and understand how they adapt to societies and different environments. The research also seeks to project these adaptations into future climates to understand possible trajectories.
