Reporter introduction:

Bruno Favery is a Senior Scientist (DR2) at INARE, Principle Investigator of the Plant Nematode Interaction (IPN) research group in ISA, a visiting professor of Kumamoto University, Japan. From 2023, he is the deputy head of INRAE Plant Health and Environment division. He has long been engaged in research on the pathogenic mechanism of plant-parasitic nematodes. Related research results are published in more than 70 journals, books and patents, including Nature Biotechnology, Current Opinion in Biotechnology, The Plant Cell, The EMBO Journal.

Stéphanie Jaubert is a Senior Scientist (DR) at INARE, received her PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Nice Sophia, France, in 2003, and conducted postdoctoral work at the University of Nice Sophia, France, and Imperial College London, UK, in 2004-2005. Since 2005, she has been working in the ISA-INRAe, mainly engaged in the molecular mechanism of plant-parasitic nematode microRNA regulation of host immune responses. Related research achievements have been published in New Phytol., Plant Physiol., J. Exp. Bot. More than 30 articles have been published in high-level journals, h-index 31.

Michaël Quentin is a professor at the Université Côte d'Azur and a researcher in IPN-ISA team. He is a member of the scientific committee of the INRAE Department of Plant Health and Environment, and a reviewer of several international funding bodies. He has been engaged in research on pathogenic mechanism of plant-parasitic nematodes for a long time, and related research achievements are published in The Plant Cell, New Phytologist, PLoS Pathogens.
