UMR INRAe/Unicaen Plant Ecophysiology and Agronomy | France

Jean-Christophe Avice is a distinguished Professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Caen Normandie, where he also directs the Centre of Microscopy Applied to Biology (CMABio), the Master program in Biology and Agrosciences, and co-directs the regional Federation of Plant Science (Normandie Végétale). His scientific career spans advanced research in plant ecophysiology, with a focus on nutrient dynamics and metabolic interactions influencing crop performance and sustainability. Avice’s work has significantly contributed to understanding nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) reserves in key species such as alfalfa, white clover, and oilseed rape, examining fluxes through isotopic tracing and characterizing vegetative storage proteins to elucidate their functions and regulatory mechanisms. He has also led research integrating diagnostic tool development, fluxomics using 15N and 34S tracers, proteomics, and molecular physiology to uncover the processes governing nutrient remobilization—particularly autophagy, transport mechanisms, and leaf senescence pathways that shape yield and seed quality. His studies extend to improving nutrient use efficiency and examining N–S–P interactions in major crops including oilseed rape, wheat, and soybean, offering insights into how nutrient balance influences oil content, protein accumulation, and micronutrient profiles. Through more than two decades of academic and research leadership, Avice has advanced scientific understanding of plant nutrition, stress physiology, and grain quality in oleoproteaginous and arable crops. His interdisciplinary approach bridges ecophysiology, agronomy, and molecular biology, supporting innovations in sustainable agriculture, crop management, and the development of biostimulants and diagnostic tools. As an educator and research director, he continues to contribute to scientific capacity-building and the advancement of plant science in the Normandie region and beyond.
