WELCOME TO THE ANÉ LAB

Understanding how symbiotic associations between plants and microbes develop is an important biological question that is particularly relevant in modern agriculture and economy.

We seek to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling the establishment of plant - microbe symbioses and the stimulation of plant growth by microbial signals. Our goal is to maintain soil quality and sustainability while protecting the environment over the long term and reducing costs for food and Biofuel production.

We transfer information gained from model plants such as Medicago truncatula or Brachypodium distachyon to crops such as soybean, alfalfa and maize in order to take full advantage of the fantastic  opportunities offered by these symbiotic associations to our agriculture.
