Towards climate-proof apple trees and other fruit trees? Insight from ecological genomics
Amandine Cornille
Amandine Cornille is a research scientist at the Quantitative Genetics and Evolution Laboratory – Le Moulon. Her research combines laboratory and field experimentation, as well as population genomics, to understand the consequences of climate change and the emergence of new pests on fruit trees. In 2023, she was a recipient of the BNP Paribas Climate & Biodiversity Initiative program.
With her group, she uses combinations of various approaches (laboratory experiments, field work, modeling, molecular biology, population genetics and genomics) for contributing to our understanding of plant diversity and of how plants, and their associated symbionts (parasites, mutualists), evolve and adapt to their environment.They have built an orchard of wild apples at Univ. Paris Saclay for research, mediation and conservation purposes. See the progress of the project on [@PommierVerger] and here website of the wild apple orchad & here movie of the wild apple orchad .
