ASTR

ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE IN SUNFLOWER

Nom equipe

The ASTR team aims to produce knowledge in genetics to adapt sunflower to the challenges of agro-ecological transition. 
Sunflower is the 4th most important oilseed in the world and the 2nd most important in France. Its low water and input requirements as well as its short cycle give it a very interesting ecological profile. It is an essential component of future agricultural systems (Debaeke et al. 2021), and its production has increased by 44% in the last 10 years (source USDA).


Mainly cultivated in environments subject to water stress, we are interested in
- the genetic control of yield plasticity in relation to water stress, cold following early sowing to avoid drought
- molecular mechanisms involved in responses to abiotic stresses in innovative cropping systems
- the impact of climate change on the attractiveness of sunflower for pollinators

To carry out our work, we are developing resources at three levels:
- at the genetic level with the CRB Tournesol
- at the genomic level with the ICSG
- at the phenomenal level, the high-throughput phenotyping platform Heliaphen which is part of the local infrastructure Phenotoul

Abiotic stress tolerance (Coordinator: Nicolas Langlade)

Identification of molecular and functional polymorphisms, in cultivated and wild sunflowers, in candidate genes involved in tolerance to abiotic stress and in development. Gene selection was performed mainly in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana.

Genetic analysis of (1) oil content under water stress, and (2) physiological and developmental responses to moderate and severe water stress in the field and under controlled conditions using association genetics and QTL mapping approaches . This work aims to integrate genetic modeling into the Sunflo agronomic model (Casadebaig et al. 2011)

A systems biology approach to transcriptomic regulatory pathways of hormonal signals and abiotic stresses. By using either variations in hormones and duration, or the genetic variability of the response to hormones, we reconstruct gene regulatory networks in relation to limiting factors in sunflower cultivation such as the regulation of perspiration (mediated by ABA), leaf senescence or flowering time. These models are then compared to observations of responses to abiotic stresses and to natural variability and in the cultivated pool to identify how the environment interacts with gene networks at short (responses of an organism) and long (evolution and domestication) scales. .

Resistance to Orobanche cumana, the sunflower broomrape (Coordinator: Stéphane Muños)

Mapping and cloning of total and quantitative resistance to the most virulent races of Orobanche.

Physiological characterization of the interaction between sunflower and O. cumana

 

Measurement of gene expression during the early stages of the interaction

New statistical strategies for Association Genetics and Genomics selection (coordinator: Brigitte Mangin)

New models for Association genetics and construction of confidence regions of detected QTLs.
