The scientific aim of Génoplante is to identify the genes which are useful for plant improvement and to discover new agrochemical molecules which are friendlier to the environment.
To achieve this aim, the scientists at Génoplante are implied in two different programmes. In the first one ("Génoplante Generic"), they start by determining the function of genes of interest in the two species chosen as a study model: rice and cress (Arabidopsis). This work makes it easier to identify the most important genes in the five crop species selected for the first phase of the programme "Génoplante Major Crops": corn, wheat, oilseed rape, peas and sunflower.
