My research focuses on mycorrhizal interaction, a symbiosis between the roots of over 90% plants and soil fungi. I use methods from molecular biology to study microbial populations and mycorrhizal communities, which are largely dominated by non-cultivable species.<\/span><\/p>\n

The molecular identification of microorganisms has revolutionised our understanding of the diversity and evolution of these symbioses.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, isotopic methods (natural abundance of the stable isotopes 13C and 15N) provide valuable markers for studying the nutrition of organisms, and more particularly the exchanges between plants and fungi in situ.<\/span><\/p>\n

My work includes naturalist activity and expertise (botany, mycology). In studying mycorrhizal interaction, my collaborators and I address general questions about the ecology and evolution of symbioses, in particular those that create networks between individuals and different species.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four major themes can be distinguished:<\/span><\/p>\n
