Montpellier Institute of Plant Sciences (IPSIM)
The IPSIM joint research unit seeks to elucidate the physiological mechanisms that govern the hydromineral nutrition of plants and their responses to abiotic stresses and climate change (water stress, salt stress, mineral deficiencies, metal toxicity, CO2, high temperatures).
The programs concern the transport of water and mineral ions in plants, the accumulation of minerals in seeds, the mechanisms of perception and signaling of environmental stresses, and developmental responses to these stresses (especially the root system).
The approach is that of integrative biology, which combines molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, functional genomics and genetics, using model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) or plants of agronomic interest (corn, rice, wheat, grapevine, lupin).
