Sociedade Brasileira de Genética (SBG) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (1984), Master in Agronomy (Genetics and Plant Breeding) from ESALQ - University of São Paulo (1988) and PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology - Rijksuniversiteit Gent - Belgium (1993 ). She completed a postdoctoral fellowship (1994) at Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey (USA) and obtained the title of Professor at USP in 2010. She is currently Associate Professor MS5-3 at the University of São Paulo, president of the Commission Research FFCLRP - USP (2020-2022) and vice-president of the Board of the Brazilian Society of Genetics - SBG (2020-2022). She has experience in the field of Genetics, with emphasis on Molecular Plant Genetics, working mainly on the following topics: 1) flowering and plant reproduction, with emphasis on pistil development and pollen-pistil interaction; 2) gene constructions, plant transformation and analysis of transgenic plants; 3) analysis of gene expression and protein-protein interactions; and 4) heterologous expression of proteins of biotechnological interest.

Previous work by our group (FAPESP 16/20486-3) identified a new protein, not yet characterized in plants, as an interaction partner of SCI1 (Stigma/style Cell-cycle Inhibitor 1) in Nicotiana tabacum. This protein is similar to RNA helicases of the DEAD-box type and was named NtDDX35 or NtRH35. To study the function of the NtRH35 coding gene, which is expressed in all plant organs, transge…
We have recently demonstrated that the SCI1 gene is expressed in floral meristem cells since its specification and mainly in proliferative cells. These results were obtained by in situ hybridization and by analysis of SCI1prom::SCI1-GFP transgenic plants. Thus, this gene was renamed fSCI1 (floral Stem Cell-cycle Inhibitor 1). We also showed that the AGAMOUS transcription factor binds to t…
This project aims to study the protein SCI1(Stigma / style Cell Cycle Inhibitor-1) of Nicotiana tabacum and the mechanisms by which it regulates the development and influence the final size of the female reproductive organ of plants (pistil). Notably, this project aims to advance the understanding of how SCI1 regulates cell proliferation. The objectives of this project are: 1) To investig…

SCI1 is a negative regulator of cell proliferation, characterized by our research group, which affects final pistil size in Nicotiana tabacum and Arabidopsis thaliana. Preliminary results obtained from further explorations of its functionality suggest that SCI1 acts on RNA metabolism, more specifically on transcript splicing, but known interaction sites with RNA in its protein sequence we…
Understanding flower development and the reproductive processes in plants holds significant importance for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring food production. Extensive research has explored the molecular mechanisms governing floral development. The SCI1 gene has been identified as a pivotal regulator of cell proliferation, exerting influence over the final size of the pistil, the fema…

This project intends to study the molecular mechanisms through which the hormone auxin and the proteins SCI1 (Stigma/style Cell-cycle Inhibitor 1) and TOB092H06 influence cell division and expansion, regulating the development and the final size of the female reproductive organ (pistil). Therefore, the objectives of this project are: 1) To study the effects of decreased auxin levels in pi…
