The climate variability at multi-decadal and centennial scale over Antarctica is closely linked to the stability of regional glaciers, the whole ice sheet mass balance, and thus the estimation of future sea-level rise. However, the short instrumental data limit our ability to fully estimate such low-frequency variability.

Cultivated yam (Dioscorea rotundata) is a staple tuber crop in West Africa that is mainly propagated vegetatively. Although the majority of yam cultivars flower, the control of its sexual reproduction - in particular sexual expression - remains largely unknown despite its importance for breeding programs.

Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is a tuber crop, with a pantropical distribution which can mainly be explained by its ease of cultivation and broad tolerance to different environments. It is a crop of utmost importance in many regions of developing countries, where it could be the only source of carbohydrates available. Despite its importance, little was known about this species.

Climate change and its consequences stand before us as the greatest challenge of our generation. The Arctic is warming at unprecedented rate and permafrost thaw is leading to irreversible changes with a global influence on climate. Permafrost carbon reservoir is twice as large as what is stored in the atmosphere.
