  One of the challenges facing our society is how food and feed can be produced sustainably in a world of 9 billion people. New knowledge, technology and approaches are needed in to use our agricultural resources more efficiently. The solutions will not provide quantum leaps, but rather incremental changes introducing new technologies for processing biomass to food or feed products. This p…

• Abstract

  Background: Seasonal variation is presumed to play an important role in the regulation of tree growth, especially for Eucalyptus grandis, a fast-growing tree. This variation may induce changes in the whole tree at transcriptional, protein and metabolite levels. Bark represents an important group of tissues that protect trees from desiccation and pathogen attack, and it has been identified…

• Abstract

  Eucalyptus species are the most widely hardwood planted in the world. It is one of the successful examples of commercial forestry plantation in Brazil and other tropical and subtropical countries. The tree is valued for its rapid growth, adaptability and wood quality. Wood formation is the result of cumulative annual activity of the vascular cambium. This cambial activity is generally rel…

• Abstract

  The Ethanol has a great strategic importance for the brazilian energy sector due to its renewable nature and great capacity to generate employment and income. Furthermore, the use of ethanol as a fuel is very interesting, since this decreases the brazilian dependence on fossil fuels. Currently, one of the main problems faced in ethanol production is the presence of contaminating microorga…

• Abstract

  Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a highly productive C4 grass that has become an important bioenergy crop worldwide. The viability of water is the limiting factor for the production of sugarcane, creating osmotic and ionic stresses to the plant, thus limiting their production. Water stress is the most important factor limiting plant growth, its reproductive system and its development, which …

  The objective of the present project is the analyzing of the pectin methylesterases (PMEs) expression by Puccinia psidii Winter, causal agent of eucalyptus rust, during the infection process of Eucalyptus grandis. In contrast, the host response will also be investigated by analyzing the expression of the pectin methyl esteraseinhibitors (PMEI). Plants of E. grandis clone S4, susceptible t…
