Research themes:

• Adaptation of Zymoseptoria tritici, a wheat pathogen, to its host and environment: genome-environment association (GEA) and phenotype-based genome-wide association study (GWAS)
• Worldwide scale population genomics and phylogeography of Z.tritici
• Evolution of transposable elements and of the defenses against them in fungi

• Pangenomics in several species of plant pathogens, influence of life-history traits and machine-learning predictions
• Comparative genome evolution and epigenomic architecture in the Zymoseptoria genus
• Interspecific hybridizations in fungal pathogens
• Population genetic and genomic of Pyrenophora teres, a barley pathogen

• Crop-to-wild gene flow in apple trees
• Plant-pathogen co-evolution
• Threats and conservation of wild apple tree species
