Partner 2   Name :    PERILLEUX, Claire Profile :    Prof. Skills :    Long expertise in plant physiology, especially in the field of flowering and its control by photoperiod (role of the biological clock, long-distance signalling). Name :    D’ALOIA, Maria Profile :    PhD student (finishing) Skills :    Studied the vernalization process and the relationships between FLC and other genes controlling flowering time. Technical skills: cloning, real time RT-PCR, plant transformation Name :    TOCQUIN, Pierre Profile :    post-doc. Skills :     Has developed important tools that will be exploited in the IUAP project : the hydroponic system designed for Arabidopsis, and its use for production of recombinant proteins by rhizosecretion.   Name :    TAMSEDDAK, Karim Profile :    PhD student Skills :    Studies gene expression in the context of floral induction by photoperiod (cloning, RT-PCR,  in situ hybridization) with special emphasis on the relationships between FT and other flowering signals (sucrose, hormones). Name :    BONHOMME, Delphine Profile :    PhD student Skills :    Studies the effect of C/N ratio on flowering (carbohydrate and amino acids quantification by HPLC, design of physiological experiments, gene expression analyses by Northern blotting, RT-PCR, in situ hybridization) Name :    DETRY, Nathalie Profile :     technician Skills :    Specialist of cytological techniques (sectioning, staining, in situ hybridization). Mutant observation and crossing. General lab management.
