Obtain grapevine varieties resistant to biotic and abiotic stress with good grape quality as well as efficient rootstocks. The genetic control of these traits is investigated through the analysis of segregating populations and germplasm collections. In parallel, the activities of crossbreeding, selection and agro-oenological evaluation of seedlings in the greenhouse and in the field integrate the information of molecular markers

Research is based on the longterm expertise in the management of germplasm collections and development of new plant materials, phenotyping analysis in field and controlled conditions, genotyping analysis based on molecular markers, and genotype-phenotype association analyses on bi-parental populations
