The agreement with the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) aims at promoting initiatives of scientific collaboration and technological development in priority areas of interest to both agencies, fostering bilateral cooperation between both Parties.
The current proposal aims to target sustainable agriculture in the Amazon biome by evaluating agroforestry systems (AFS) models by connecting soil health with fruit quality. These AFS will be compared to other systems that adopt less conservationist agricultural practices. More specifically, it aims to deeply understand the microbial diversity of Amazonian soils as well as their chemical,…
The overall goal of the project is to produce catalytic inks and printed electrodes using lignin-derived biochars for enhancing efficiency of catalytic reactions. Research objectives of the EEL group will be efficient extraction and recovery of high purity lignin (kraft lignin) and C6 sugars from sugarcane biomass (bagasse and straw). The C6 sugar from the hydrolysate will be transformed …
In the present study, we seek to understand two important development processes with application in tomato production. We will characterize new mutants and natural allelic variations that affect fruit ripening and abscission. The study will be carried out on the tomato cultivar Micro-Tom, a model system for tomato genetics. Both groups in Brazil and Japan have developed extensive collecti…
The food crisis caused by global climate changes generates opportunities for the development of innovative biotechnological practices, expanding the food production capacity. Plants, microorganisms and soil have a delicate physicochemical and biological network of interactions that contributes to the success of agricultural initiatives. These relationships have been studied in depth throu…
