INRA - IGEPP
An ARIMNet project
UMR IGEPP gathers from 2012 January 1st previous UMR APBV and BiO3P from INRA, Agrocampus Rennes and University Rennes I. Among research activities and scientific fields, the Plant Resistance to diseases and Adaptation group (16 researchers) focuses on the genetic control and mechanisms of partial resistance to major fungal and nematode diseases in crops (rapeseed, legumes, potato), the identification of favourable combinations of resistance genetic factors to increase efficiency and durability of genetic resistances, and the epidemiology, population genetics and pathogenicity of the main crop pathogens. In legumes, two major pea pathogens are considered, namely root rot due to <i>A. euteiches</i> and ascochyta blight due to <i>M. pinodes</i>.
IGEPP has laboratory, growth chamber, greenhouse and experimental farm unit facilities. It hosts two platforms for plant cytogenetics and for high throughput genotyping (http://www.ouest-genopole.org).
In the Medileg Project, Partner IGEPP coordinates both the Epidemiology and Pathogen genetic variation (C. Le May) and Marker Assisted Breeding (A. Baranger) workpackages. Research activities include :
- field and controlled conditions experiments aiming at the evaluation of the impact of cultural practices and/or intrinsic properties of plants (resistance levels, architectural features, canopy structure) on epidemic development and on the genetic structuration of pathogen populations (wp5).
- field experiments aiming at the identification of reservoir plants participating to the production of primary inoculum or the maintainance of the disease during the intercropping season (wp5),
- field and controlled conditions experiments aiming at the identification or tracing of QTL controlling resistance or architectural traits in RIL segregating or cultivar collections (wp4).
- molecular approaches aiming at the isolation, development and mapping of anonymous or genic markers likely to assist breeding for resistance (wp4).
