Partnership with INRIA

On computational plants and ecosystems

This partnership is aimed at building computer models that simulate plant development, lifecycles and environmental interactions, in order to compare the predictions made by modeling with in-field observations and help guide experiments. The challenges include the optimization and the adaptation of production systems as a response to climatic change and severe biological stress, within the context of sustainable development.

The scientific program covers three main topics:

• Gene-to-ecosystem computational modeling of plants and their uses
• Software platform development
• International collaboration with emphasis on the Mediterranean region
