Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Pierre Bertin"
- Pierre Bertin's recent research focuses on plant genetics, particularly in cacao and rice, employing techniques such as ddRADseq and genome-wide association studies to assess genetic diversity and improve traits like nitrogen use efficiency and salt tolerance.
- His studies highlighted the importance of genetic resource conservation, especially within cacao plantations in Cuba, and the identification of quantitative trait loci associated with critical agricultural challenges faced by rice cultivation, such as salt intrusion and fertilizer overuse.
- In addition to crop research, Bertin has also explored environmental impacts of nanomaterials on microbial diversity in wastewater treatment, linking ecological health with agricultural practices and genetic research to foster sustainable solutions.
