RESEARCH SUBJECTS
The HelEx project aims to use extremophile wild Helianthus species to develop new sunflower cultivars that are more tolerant to the effects of climate change, including high temperatures and drought, while maintaining production quality and biodiversity services.
My contribution to this project is twofold:
-
Studying the effects of temperature and water stress on the production of resources for flower-visiting insects: number of florets per head, quantity of nectar and pollen produced per floret, floret morphology;
-
Developing a model for automatically counting and identifying flower-visiting insects on images of sunflower heads taken during the day and night.

I completed my PhD (2014-2018) at INRAE of Avignon with Bernard Vaissière on the assessment of the pollination requirements of oilseed rape hybrid seed production. I also developed a fast method for assessing the size of honeybee colonies introduced for crop pollination. All with the aim of adjusting the supply of introduced colonies to the demand for crop pollination.
I continued my career with a first postdoctoral fellowship in the Pollen Network team at Syngenta (2019-2020, Lombez, France). There, I studied feeding honeybee colonies with protein pastes to decrease the pollen collection of colonies and thus increase the seed yields of sunflower. This method is applicable to all nectar-producing crops where anthers are isolated from the stigmas: hybrid seed productions, avocado, Amaryllidaceae, Apiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, etc. This was based on my Master's thesis (with Bernard Vaissière, INRAE Avignon), during which we demonstrated that supplementing colonies with pollen in the combs increased the pollinating activity of colonies, using the example of the melon crop (monoecious). During this experiment, I also studied the effects of colony distance and bee density on the yield of oilseed sunflower.
I then completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at University of Florida with Rachel Mallinger (2021-2023) to study the benefits of cross-pollination for blueberry cultivation. Cross-pollination especially increases the fruit size and yield of this crop. More generally, I was able to identify a list of 156 zoophilous crops for which cross-pollination improves the quantity and/or quality of fruits and seeds produced. I was also able to promote the concept of cultivar mixtures as a tool for adapting crops to the effects of climate change through the synergy occurring between genotypes via the beneficial effects of cross-pollination.
Two constants have punctuated my career: (i) studying the effect of temperature on floral biology, and (ii) the dynamics of floral nectar secretion. These are two areas of expertise that I am now using as part of the HelEx project for my third postdoctoral position (2024-…) in the ASTR team at LIPME with Nicolas Langlade.

RECENT FUNDING
During my previous role, I led the SeqOccIn project (2019–2023, https://get.genotoul.fr/seqoccin/), which aimed to develop new genomic and bioinformatic methods for analyzing structural variations, epigenetic marks, and metagenomics. The project brought together around 30 public and private partners from both animal and plant research, with a total budget of €6M.
Several new projects are currently in preparation, including PréHelliABLEL.
COLLABORATIONS
Over the years, I have collaborated with numerous laboratories. I also supported Toulouse University Hospital in monitoring SARS-CoV-2 mutants in the Occitanie region. Currently, my research focuses on the genetic control of ecosystem services in collaboration with entomologists and ecologists from the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI, DE) and the University of Carinthia (AU). I also contribute to the development of methodological tools such as high-throughput phenotyping to characterize pollinator behavior within the PHENOME project, in collaboration with UC Berkeley, the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, and JKI.

Team Leader ASTR
Research Director, Class 2
RESEARCH SUBJECTS
I conduct multidisciplinary research in close collaboration with private partners (such as breeding companies), the technical institute Terres Inovia, and various academic laboratories covering agronomy, systems biology, and evolution.
My objective is to understand the genetic and molecular control of sunflower responses to abiotic environments and to provide knowledge for adapting sunflower to agroecological cropping systems.
This includes:
-
Identifying genomic regions and polymorphisms controlling yield plasticity under drought or cold stress. To this end, I collaborate with agronomists (P. Casadebaig and Ph. Debaeke from UMR INRAE AGIR) to model crop functioning and characterize stress scenarios. Using quantitative genetics, we predict plasticity and identify QTLs or clone the genes involved in yield tolerance.
-
Characterizing the molecular response of sunflower to drought stress at different omics levels: inferring gene regulatory networks, integrating proteomic, metabolomic, transcriptomic, and physiological data in a systems biology framework.
-
Defining the sunflower ideotype adapted to new abiotic stress scenarios induced by agroecological transition (intercropping, relay-cropping) at phenotypic, molecular, and genetic levels.
-
Studying the impact of climate change on sunflower attractiveness for pollinators and its molecular and genetic control.
After a strong involvement in sunflower genomics, I consider the next frontier to be phenomics. I am actively involved in the high-throughput phenotyping infrastructure PhenoToul [1], which since 2019 has brought together the TPMP (controlled conditions), Heliaphen (semi-controlled conditions), and Agrophen (field conditions) platforms.
In addition, I am strongly involved in leading the French sunflower research community:
-
Coordination of the SUNRISE project (Investissements d’Avenir),
-
Chairing the sunflower technical committee of Promosol,
-
Participation in CTPS activities (Sunflower-Soybean section and VATE).
Internationally, I serve on the board of the International Sunflower Association (ISA) and the scientific committee of the International Consortium for Sunflower Genomics (ICSG).
TRAINING
I started my career in Switzerland (PhD at the University of Neuchâtel, 1998–2002) with Enrico Martinoia, working on the physiological and molecular study of organic acid exudation and cluster root development in lupin.
I then worked in the United Kingdom (John Innes Center, Norwich, 2002–2006) with Enrico Coen, focusing on the evolution of leaf development and flower color in Antirrhinum (snapdragon).
Recruited in 2006 by INRA as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Plant Reproduction and Development (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon) with Peter Rogowsky, I briefly worked on maize grain development.
I joined LIPME (INRAE Occitanie Toulouse) as a senior researcher in 2007, and I have been a Research Director since 2016. I lead the ASTR team (Abiotic Stress Tolerance in sunfloweR), which aims to identify the genetic and molecular bases of sunflower adaptation to abiotic constraints (drought and cold) at physiological and evolutionary levels.
I obtained my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in 2015 at the University of Toulouse, on integrating environmental and evolutionary constraints into gene regulatory networks.
