Diversité et évolution des plantes

The DEP team conducts fundamental research in the field of plant evolution, at scales ranging from the population (micro-evolutionary scale) to flowering plants (angiosperms) as a whole (macro-evolutionary scale).

These questions are organized into three axes:

  1. Evolutionary drivers of plant adaptation and species diversification;
  2. evolution of pollen and flowers;
  3. description of flowering plant diversity to improve our knowledge in relation to the taxonomy and systematics of these organisms.

The research conducted by the DEP team involves a wide array of approaches including population genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetic reconstruction, ancestral state reconstruction, molecular dating, cytogenetics, and floral development.
