The rose genome deciphered: from the origin of modern roses to the characteristics of their blooms

Plant biology - Results, Innovations, Transfer

The rose: an ornamental plant emblematic of the cultural and economic history of mankind. An international consortium1 involving INRA, ENS de Lyon, CEA, CNRS and Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, has deciphered the genome of the rose. This work has made it possible to trace the respective contributions of European and Chinese roses to the genome of modern roses, and to identify genes involved in the perfume and colour biosynthesis pathways.

Optical maps to improve our understanding of genome complexity

Technology platforms

Plant genomes are particularly complex because of their size and the presence of numerous repeat elements. A clearer understanding of them will enable many of the agronomic improvements that are essential in a context of climate change. The French Plant Genomic Resources Centre (CNRGV) has just acquired an innovative technology that offers a global vision of genome organisation using optical maps. This project obtained funding from the European Union and the Occitanie Regional Council.

A website to discover everything about systems experiments at INRA!

Technology platforms

Systems experiments consist in designing and evaluating innovative farming systems which can respond to challenges that may be environmental (reducing inputs, preserving water and soil resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, maintaining biodiversity, etc.), economic (viability of systems) or social (impact on the organisation of work).
