Module on “Epigenetics and plant breeding”

In early October, CultiVar launched a new module entitled "Epigénome et amélioration végétale" for the Master 2 students of Montpellier SupAgro.

Over one full day, the researcher’s contributions emphasized the mechanisms underlying the epigenetic regulation of the expression of the traits of interest, and their practical implications in plant breeding.
Researchers conceived several pedagogical games, such as an « Exquisite Corpse game » for learning more on epigenetic landmarks, or else a poster game about small RNAs.
