The Biogenesis, dynamic and homeostasis of membrane lipids (Lipid) team has a solid knowledge in the field of plant glycerolipids. The work is in line with the past research of the team, i.e. advancing knowledge of the processes setting up the membrane lipid distribution in plastid-containing eukaryotes at steady state (membrane lipid homeostasis) and tuning this steady state in response to environmental changes (lipid remodeling). The overall strategy remains to consider the glycerolipid metabolic scheme as a system, and to contribute to the international effort to characterize its components and dynamics by a multidisciplinary approach.
