Master in Plant Sciences

Understanding plants, the challenges for tomorrow.

Logo Master Plant Sciences

Major issues in plant research for the future : ensuring agricultural production for food and feed as well as health while demography increases and acreage decreases, identifying and developing new possibilities for replacing fossil resources, and finally enabling producing that respects the environment in the context of climate change.

These issues raise many new scientific challenges. To name just a few: How plants interact with a changing environment? How do plant protect themselves from stresses? How do they manage their resources (nitrogen, water, light)? What are the limitations to growth and biomass production?

These challenges also require new tools : plant genomics, the use of natural diversity, high throughput phenotyping with automated growth facilities, high resolution imaging…

The master’s degree training in plant sciences meets these challenges.

“Laboratory Rotations”: the new teaching unit in the Research track of the M2 in Plant Sciences

Starting next academic year, the M2 in Plant Sciences will introduce a new, innovative teaching unit for its Research track: the “Laboratory Rotations”.

Damien Curtius, a French-German student with a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from the University of Strasbourg, joined the M1 of the Master’s program in Integrative Biology and Physiology – Plant Sciences at the Paris-Saclay University for the 2025–2026 academic year, where he is supported by an SPS scholarship.

Elisée Ahoton, a Beninese student with a Master’s degree in Plant Production – Management of Soil Fertility in Tropical Regions from the University of Abomey-Calavi (Benin), joined the Professional track “Innovation and Quality of Plant Products” of the M2 in Plant Sciences at the Paris-Saclay University for the 2025–2026 academic year. He is also a recipient of an SPS scholarship. Elisée is preparing to enter the job market.

Baba Diop, a senegalese student who graduated from a Master in Plant and Microbial Biotechnology at the UCAD (University Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar), is recipient of an SPS scholarship and has joined for this acadamic year 2025-2026 the M1 in Integrative Biology and Physiology - Plant Sciences at the Paris Cité University.
