Dr. Claudine Franche is the leader of the Rhizogenesis team in the Research Institute for sustainable Development (Montpellier, France). Her carieer has been dedicated to nitrogen fixation in non-legumes (Azospirillum brasilense, Anabaena azollae and Frankia). Her research is currently dedicated to the understanding of the early stages of the symbiotic interaction between the root system of the tropical actinorhizal tree Casuarina glauca and the nitrogen fixing actinobacteria Frankia. A major objective is to isolate key plant genes involved in the perception and transduction of the still unknown symbiotic signaling molecules emitted by the actinobacteria. Claudine Franche is vice-president of the French High Council of Biotechnology and Deputy advisor of the IUFRO working group “Improvement and Culture of nitrogen-fixing trees”.
