Chairmen

	Session 1 Dr. Jacqueline Grima-Pettenati Research Director CNRS (DR2), Team leader at the LRSV (CNRS/UPS, Toulouse). Jacqueline Grima-Pettenati has a long-standing experience in functional genomics of secondary cell wall biosynthesis both in model plants and in trees (75 papers in peer-reviewed journals). Her team participated to the assembly and annotation of the Eucalyptus genome (Myburg et al, Nature, 2014). She is currently coordinating a Plant KBBE project « Tree for Joules » (13 partners, 4 countries) aiming at improving poplar and Eucalyptus wood properties for second-generation biofuels.
	Session 2 Dr. Camille Rustenholz Assistant professor since 2012 at INRA SVQV (Colmar) working on grapevine genomics project. Postdoc (18 months) 2011-2012 at Iowa State University in Pat Schnable group working on structural genomic in maize. PhD 2007-2010 at INRA GDEC (Clermont-Ferrand) in genomic and transciptomic in wheat.
	Session 3 Dr. Nicolas Langlade After his PhD at University of Neuchatel and a post-doc at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, Dr. Nicolas Langlade joined the INRA in 2006 as a post-doc in the laboratory of plant reproduction and development with Peter Rogowsky (Ecole Normale Superieure, Lyon) where he worked on maize kernel development. He moved to the INRA Toulouse in 2007 as senior researcher, where he’s developing a research program aiming at identifying the molecular and genetic basis of sunflower adaptation to abiotic stresses.
	Session 4 Pr. Olivier Panaud Since 2003: Professor at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia. Team leader at the Plant Genome and Development Laboratory (LGDP). The LGDP is involved in research and study on plant genome organization and gene regulation, particularly their role in plant development and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Pr Olivier Panaud is involved in genome analysis and evolution and he’s an expert in Transposable Elements. 2008-2012 Vice-President for Research of the University of Perpignan.
