Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Anne-Sophie Fontaine"
Anne-Sophie Fontaine's research includes a focus on plant pathology and molecular genetics, particularly in understanding resistance to viral infections in cucurbit crops and optimizing forage quality in maize.
In her study on cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), she successfully mapped a monogenic locus for resistance using Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) and whole-genome resequencing, addressing a significant issue in Mediterranean agriculture.
Additionally, her work on forage maize explored the relationship between cell wall composition and digestibility, revealing genetic variations in neutral detergent fiber that can influence forage quality, potentially enhancing livestock feed efficiency.
