The research activity is carried out at the IUT of Thionville-Yutz and on experimental sites in northern Moselle. Its purpose is to understand defense mechanisms, most often immunological, used by organisms under stress both against pathogens and environmental contaminants.
In this context, phytoremediation of contaminated or degraded soils is studied. Miscanthus x giganteus (MXG) is used as a model plant by combining production of biomass for recovery, improvement of degraded soils and phytoremediation of contaminated soils. In addition, the influence of phytosanitary products which can directly interfere with the immune system of pollinating insects and humans accentuating the impact of pathogens, is studied.
