Plants are a primary source of nutrients, chemicals, and materials for humans. Our program aims to generate fundamental knowledge on plant physiology and metabolism and to use this knowledge to improve crops through plant synthetic and metabolic engineering approaches. We are interested in deciphering the control of primary and secondary metabolism for the production of high-quality bioproducts and the enhancement of plant performance and yield. Furthermore, by using a synthetic biology framework, we aim to contribute to the advancement of basic plant research and provide novel biotechnological tools.
