I graduated in Bachelor's degree in Biology from Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho State University (2008), Master's degree in biological sciences (plant biology) also by the Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho State University (2013), and PhD in the same program (2017) with sandwich period at CSIRO, Canberra, Australia. Currently working in project related to epigenetics in plant development, with sandwich period at IBVF/CSIC, Seville, Spain. I have experience in Botany, with emphasis on Molecular Biology and Plant Physiology, working mainly on the following topics: chromatin immunoprecipitation, genetic transformation in plants, cloning, RNA-seq and validation by qRT-PCR, abiotic stress, hormonal quantification by LC-MS / MS and ecophysiology of the Cerrado.

The vegetative to reproductive phase change involves a complex and coordinated series of genetically programmed biochemical and cellular processes. Recent studies have shown that this phase change may be a result of epigenetic changes. The level of histone acetylation in the N-terminal tails plays a central role controlling chromatin structure and eukaryotic gene activity, being determine…
The Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) presents edaphic peculiarities, such as soil acidity and high content of soluble aluminum (Al3+), so that species that are adapted to this type of environment exhibit effective strategies to deal with this stress. Aluminum is toxic to most plants, reducing root growth, causing disorder in the cytoskeleton and callose deposition, as well as reducing photosyn…
Driving energy from ATP hydrolysis, chromatin may be more accessible to transcription factors. Such chromatin remodeling is achieved by SWI2/SNF2 complex, with a core ATPase BRAHMA (BRM), SPLAYED (SYD) or MINUSCULE (MINU) in terrestrial plants. BRM is the most widely studied in plants, using knock-down mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana to elucidate its function. On the other hand, MINU is u…
Under acidic conditions, malate efflux via TaALMT1 channel is induced by aluminum (Al) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). When Al is chelated with organic acids, the roots are allowed to grow normally, thus conferring great yields. Recent studies suggest that great yield in an Al-tolerant wheat line can also be reached under alkaline conditions by the same organic acid exsudation mechanism …
