HOST LABORATORIES INEARTH ECOLOGY &ENVIRONMENT SCIENCESBIOLOGIE INTÉGRÉE POUR LA VALORISATION DE LA DIVERSITÉDES ARBRES ET DE LA FORÊT (BioForA)UMR 0588 - CENTRE INRAE VAL DE LOIRE, ONFThe UMR 0588 BioForA (ex-AGPF) is an INRAE Research Unit belonging to INRAE Val de Loire andlocated near the Orléans University campus. BioForA depends on the INRAE EFPA department(Ecologie des Forêts, des Prairies et des milieux Aquatiques), which coordinates environmentalstudies carried out on forests, grassland and fresh waters. BioForA brings together specific skills in breeding, genetics,genomics, physiology and wood sciences applied to forest trees. BioForA develops integrative biological approaches toproduce knowledge on the genetic determinism of complex traits involved in tree development (phenology, growth, woodproperties) and on the mechanisms of tree adaptation to environmental constraints, such as resistances to pathogens,climate, including, through collaborations, resistance to drought. In BioForA, the breeding programs developed ondifferent forest tree species (poplar, Douglas-fir, larch, ash, Scots pine and wild cherry) rely on innovative strategiesfor the selection and dissemination of genetic gains. In addition, BioForA scientists assess and manage forest treegenetic diversity to define the most effective strategies for combining short-term adaptation towards environmental andeconomic challenges and preserving long-term conservation of the genetic resources. Therefore, the research leads toa variety of scientific productions ranging from scientific papers to new forest varieties.UNITÉS ISOTOPES - BRGMThe BRGM is a public institution, created in 1959, acting as French Geological Survey since 1968. In addition to contributingto the advancement of fundamental knowledge in the field of earth sciences and resources management, its researchactivities aim to provide support for public policies and decision making, and also to contribute the development ofinnovative technologies in public-private partnership. With a staff of 1050, BRGM combines the experience and skillsof specialists in the following fields: earth modelling, management of water and mineral resources, natural hazards,industrial environment and processing procedures, energy (geothermics – underground storage), environmentalmetrology and environmental economics.Earth, Ecology & Environment Sciences 201967
