This project investigates social interactions among plants to understand how these interactions can enhance crop performance. By exploring genetic and trait-based factors, the research aims to identify cooperative traits that could improve agricultural yields through selective breeding.
As early shown with social insects, natural selection can maximize group performance by favouring the evolution of altruistic phenotypes.
Such social selection has been shown to occur in a wide range of taxon, mainly in animals and microorganisms.
Conversely, we have a very poor knowledge of social interactions in plants, mainly because the study of plant-plant interactions has largely remained disconnected from social evolution theory.
For example, we don’t know which plant traits have social e…
