The Sunrise project

HeliaPhen has determined the sequencing of the reference genome of sunflower, within the framework of the project Investissements d'Avenir SUNRISE and in collaboration with the International Sunflower Genomics Consortium. This major result will accelerate the efficiency of sunflower varietal selection programmes, which has strong potential for improvement and demonstrated environmental assets for tomorrow's agricultural systems. It will also help to provide farmers with new varieties that are better adapted to production methods, food and industrial uses and meet the sector's economic challenges.

The Phenome project

To facilitate the agro-ecological transition, the Phenome project is developing equipment for thousands of plants, as well as methods to analyse the genetic variability of plant responses to climate change (drought, high CO2, high temperatures, emerging diseases). Within this framework, HeliaPhen is a project facility based at the INRAE Occitanie-Toulouse Research Centre, which focuses on phenotyping in a semi-controlled condition using high-performance, high throughput tools.
