👩🔬 We are delighted to welcome Emma Upton back to BFP! After joining us last year as a Master 2 intern, Emma has returned to pursue her PhD on seaweed-based biostimulants through a CIFRE collaboration with ALGAIA, supervised by Michel Hernould, Frédéric Delmas, Marine Dehail and Franck Hennequart.
🎥 Jeudi dernier, France 2 a rencontré Amèlia Gaston de l'équipe FDFE pour comprendre l'apparition des fraises blanches sur les étals parisiens 🍓 Retour sur l'origine du fraisier cultivé, diversité variétale et explication des mutations naturelles affectant la voie de biosynthèse des anthocyanes.
We were delighted to host the KOMOD workshop as part of the DIGIT-BIO metaprogramme! Three days of great discussions on metabolic networks, from their reconstruction to their analysis. Thanks to everyone who joined and contributed!
The #FDFE team (Lina Boutaleb, Norbert Bollier) and Lysiane Brocard (PIV) joined the IMABIO workshop (March 19–20). Discussions focused on imaging strategies for environmental stress, including confocal microscopy 🌱🔬 #PlantScience #Microscopy #PlantImaging 🔗 plantes.microscopie.org/index.php
Kick off du projet PARSADA METASERV : Mise en place de ressources et d’outils génériques pour la sélection et le déploiement des plantes de service contre les bioagresseurs avec l’équipe VIRO !
Notre collègue et ami, Armand Mouras, nous a quittés le 18 mars 2026 à l’âge de 81 ans. Professeur à l’Université Bordeaux-Segalen jusqu’en 2007, un des pères de l’enseignement des biotechnologies végétales sur Bordeaux, il a été l’un des membres fondateurs de l’UMR619, devenue depuis UMR1332 BFP. 😢
Yesterday's harvest 🌶️ Pretty nice to be working on peppers in the lab. Let’s just say we’ve got plenty to spice up our meals! Sometimes the line between science and cooking is pretty thin, especially when working on fruits
It's this time of year! 👩🔬🧴🧹 Spring cleaning for our CyFlow Space flow cytometer: labeled boxes with new filters and updated instructions. Ready for more samples! 🤓 #FDFE #ScienceNow
Le projet IPSEELON réunit un consortium de 15 partenaires dont l'équipe VIRO, ayant un intérêt convergeant pour les ravageurs de type piqueurs-suceurs (pucerons et cicadelles) et les organismes pathogènes qu’ils transmettent. www.inov3pt.fr/ipseelon
🙃 Double pistils spotted in apricot! 🤔 Often triggered by high temperatures during floral initiation the previous year. Well known in sweet cherry, but it can also occur in other Prunus. 🥵 Another sign of climate change impacts on fruit trees.
🎉 Congratulations to Loé Malgouyre on successfully defending her CIFRE PhD on Feb 20th! 🔬Her research explored the effects of Leafamine®, an animal protein-derived biostimulant, on tomatoes under heat stress. Supported by BCF Life Sciences & #FDFE teams. Bravo, Loé! 👏👩🎓

📣We are opening a permanent Research Scientist (CRCN) position in metabolomics and agroecology in Bordeaux. If you have a PhD and want to work at the interface of metabolism, biodiversity and agroecosystems, you can find all the details here: jobs.inrae.fr/en/open-comp... #metabolomics #academicJobs
Junior research scientist on metabolomics and agroecology
CR26-BAP-1 - The Fruit Biology and Pathology joint research unit offers a multidisciplinary environment (understanding of the underlying mechanisms of plant development or their interactions with pathogens or with the environment through to the application of this knowledge in translational research). The unit has a range of experimental facilities dedicated to growing and phenotyping plants. MeTA is a highly multidisciplinary team using approaches combining experimentation and modelling to study plant metabolism. Moreover, the team hosts the Bordeaux Metabolome platform that provides the tools necessary to explore metabolomic diversity. You will also benefit from its affiliation to the INBS MetaboHUB (metabolomics) and PHENOME (phenomic and phenotyping) networks.The metabolome gathers information about metabolic functioning that is at the heart of all living processes. Consequently, metabolomic analyses of biodiversity combined with artificial intelligence show the highly predictive nature of the metabolome, particularly during adaptation to extreme habitats. Metabolomics has been used to predict yield and understand the basics, and study plant/pest interactions and multi-stress responses. Your role will be to study agroecosystems using approaches combining metabolomics and modelling to update the mechanisms governing the relationships between organisms (plants, insects, microbiota, etc.) and/or determine ecosystem services. The ultimate purpose will be to develop predictive models dedicated to the ecological transition of agriculture.The project extends the understanding of links between metabolism programming and trade-offs with plant performance to agroecology, from plant to ecosystem scale.Your short-term objective will be to formulate a strategy drawing on the bibliography and to establish a network of national and international collaborations to identify high-performance agroecosystems adapted to different contexts or, on the contrary, to imbalanced agroecosystems. This is an essential step to fine-tune the project objectives. It concerns more particularly the identification of ecosystem services that will be targeted by modelling. Your medium-term objectives will be to conduct experiments on agroecosystems comprising various compartments (plants, microorganisms, soil, air, etc.) to obtain climatic and physiological data, assess ecosystem services, and collect samples from each compartment. Reproducible and interoperable data from organism metabolomes and phenomes could be obtained thanks to numerous possibilities provided by the Bordeaux Metabolome Platform, particularly high-throughput combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Statistical analyses and predictive models could be developed to establish links between metabolism and ecosystem services.Your long-term objectives will be to understand the metabolic and physiological mechanisms involved in agroecological system dynamics. Functional genomics approaches could be used to validate the strong hypotheses generated by modelling thanks to collaborations with other researchers from the team and the unit. The purpose of the project will be to propose new strategies for agriculture, such as decision-making tools based on predictive metabolomics.
