Removing the obstacles to soya production in Brittany - Pays de la Loire and ensuring its inclusion in agricultural rotations

How the LAFL interact with chromatin-based mechanisms to control proper seed development and maturation?

Seed protection using biocontrol solutions

The aim of SPECIFICS is to identify and evaluate various levers to allow for a transition towards pesticide-free and legume-rich farming systems by searching for new sources of resistance, incorporating more biological diversity over time (rotation) and in space (intra- and interspecific intercrops, agro-ecological infrastructures, etc.), by evaluating options for the promotion of these systems

The SUCSEED project is founded on the necessity to identify and develop novel solutions adapted to seed protection using natural and environmentally-friendly alternatives to pesticides.

... through the creation of new genetic resources and identification of new target gene alleles
