Teva Vernoux, recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant 2022

Among the ERC Advanced Grant 2022 grantees: TEMPO, Teva Vernoux' proposal. On Thursday, March 30, the European Research Council (ERC) announced the grantees of the prestigious Advanced Grant. Among the selected proposals is TEMPO, led by Teva Vernoux, CNRS Research Director at the Plant Reproduction Laboratory (RDP, CNRS / INRAE / ENS de Lyon). This project is coordinated by the CNRS and hosted at ENS de Lyon. TEMPO Project. How plant cells set the tempo of rhythmic shoot construction With Teva Vernoux, CNRS Research Director at the Plant Reproduction Laboratory (RDP, CNRS / INRAE / ENS de Lyon, laboratory also associated to Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University and to INRIA) Which rules govern the temporality of our growth, and more broadly that of all multi-cellular living beings? This question is essential to understand how animals and plants build their shape. We observe in fact, in plants and animals, mechanisms of rhythmic production of tissues and organs, which draw the organizational plan following a precise tempo.
