• Abstract

  The world population has continually increasing which implies in a continuous need of increasing production of food, juices, biofuels for human survival and, as the Brazil is a country with continental dimension and has suitable climate for numerous agricultural practices, it can become the largest producer of these inputs. Nowadays, the agribusiness in Brazil represents 25% of Gross Do…

• Abstract

  According to IBGE (2010), the sugar cane is the first national agricultural product considering the amount produced, and it is the predominant crop in Sao Paulo state. The indiscriminate use of insecticides and other xenobiotic substances in this culture is an issue of great concern, since their effects are caused both financial and environmental losses, primarily related to non-target or…

• Abstract

  The predatory power of leaf-cutting ants and their power to transform the soil have been known for centuries. The use of plants for the control of ants is known to farmers and can be better explored using chemosystematic knowledge of plants. Obtaining natural products from plants or microorganisms with potential insecticidal or fungicidal action on the nest of leaf-cutting ants, as well a…

• Abstract

  This project aims to evaluate the effects of pesticides, as well as other environmental contaminants used in the cultivation of sugarcane in the cell death of leaf cutter ant, Atta sexdens rubropilos, by analyzing the viability of brain cells, digestive tract and Malpighian tubules, as well as the evaluation of the possible changes that may occur in the structure of the cytoskeleton and t…

• Abstract

  Fungus gardens of leaf-cutting ants harbor several microorganisms in addition to the mutualistic fungus cultivated by these insects for food. Fungi in the genus Escovopsis are found in the fungus gardens and are considered specialized parasites of the ant fungal partner. Because of its recent discovery, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for maintaining the interaction betwe…

• Abstract

  Leafcutter ants can be a serious agricultural pest, defoliating crops and damaging roads and farmland with their nest-making activities. The chemical control is still the most common strategy to minimize the damage caused by these ants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as products of normal cellular metabolic activities and also produced in response to a variety of exogenous ag…
