The study of the respiratory metabolism of plants using stable isotopes of carbon is the main focus of my research. The aim is to determine the C-isotopic discrimination during plant respiration in order to understand the metabolic origin of C released by the respiration of plants subjected to different environmental conditions (temperature, drought, nitrogen nutrition, etc.). We measured, together with my PhD students, the natural abundances of C-isotopes (¹³C/¹²C) in CO₂ released by leaf and root respiration of different species (C₃ and C₄) and also in the putative respiratory substrates (soluble sugars, organic acids, etc.). Also labelling experiments were conducted either by labelling the photoassimilates using ¹³C-labelled air CO₂, or labelling leaves or roots by supplying positionnaly¹³C-labelled glucose or pyruvate and track the labelled C in respired CO₂ and different metabolites. We showed that contrary to what was assumed before, the CO₂ released by leaf respiration is enriched in ¹³C while that of root is often depleted in ¹³C compared to the metabolites in the corresponding organs. This is the case in herbaceous C₃ and C₄ plants (not in woody plants) and we were able to demonstrate the metabolic origin of this respiratory isotope discrimination between leaves and roots. In woody species, however, the isotopic signal of CO₂ released by root respiration is also enriched in ¹³C, as in leaves (to our knowledge, this aspect has not yet been studied). These results are already published as research and review articles in many international journals (see the publication list below).

Recently, we aimed to understand the impact of the inorganic nitrogen source (NH₄⁺ vs. NO₃). on the metabolism of sugars and organic acids and respiratory metabolism, and consequently on the C-isotope composition of the respired CO₂ and respiratory substrates. Since NO₃^– is mainly assimilated in leaves, while NH₄⁺ is rather assimilated in roots, and their assimilation would affect the anaplerotic activity of the enzyme PEPc (which enriches in ¹³C the malate), it is expected that the foliar and root metabolites and therefore the CO₂ released by these organs will be differently impacted under nitrogen nutrition with different proportions of NH₄⁺ vs. NO₃^– in the nitrogen supplied to the plants. The results obtained on two C₃ plant species (beans and spinach) showed that the foliar CO₂ respired in both species was enriched in ¹³C under NO₃^– nutrition, and that gradually with the increase in NH₄⁺ proportion in the nutrient solution it became progressively less ¹³C-enriched. Various statistical analyses have shown that this variation in the isotopic signature of respired CO₂ is mainly related to the metabolism of organic acids (malate and citrate) regardless of the species and organs studied (a corresponding manuscript is about to be submitted).

Our results on the metabolic origin of the isotopic signature of CO₂ released during leaf and root respiration and its variation under different environmental conditions would allow better understanding and interpreting the isotopic signature of CO₂ released by the ecosystem respiration in carbon balance studies.

Stable Isotopes: Lecture and practical courses on the use of stable isotopes in plant ecology: Basics on the stable isotopes, C-isotope discrimination during photosynthesis in C₃, C₄ ad CAM plants, post-photosynthetic C-isotope discrimination, modelling at ecosystem level, isotope labelling, and the use of stable isotopes in food web studies (Bachelor and Master students).

Plant resistance to drought (Lecture) on the mechanisms of plant resistance/adaptation to drought: morphological, structural and physiological adaptation, impact of drought on plant photosynthesis and stomatal responses as well as plant growth and water use efficiency (Master students).

Soil: Lecture on the physico-chimical and biological properties of the soils, decomposition of organic material in the soil (mineralisation and humification, different humus types), as well as practical courses on the water profiles in different soil types (Bachelor students).

Leaf water Relations: Practical courses on the leaf water, osmotic and turgor potentials, how to establish the pressure-volume curves using Scholander pressure bomb and how to determine different parameters related to drought resistance e.g. osmotic adjustment, cell wall elasticity, etc. (Bachelor students).

Leaf gas exchange measurement: Practical courses on the Methods of gas exchange measurements, and how to calculate different parameters, i.e. photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, leaf internal to ambient CO₂ concentrations (Ci/Ca), water use efficiency, and also the limits of the methods because of possible patchy stomatal closure or mesophyll resistance or water vapour diffusion through cuticle, which could lead to overestimation of Ci/Ca (Bachlor students).
