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 microbial signals and the signaling pathways
controlling the establishment of plant - microbe symbioses and the
stimulation of plant growth by these signals. 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 beneficial associations to our agriculture.
Our
goal is to maintain soil quality and sustainability while protecting the
environment over the long term and reducing costs for food, feed and
biofuel production.

than about the soil underfoot - Leonardo da Vinci
