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.

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…
In our laboratory it was identified the SCH gene (Stigma/style Cell cyde Inhibitor 1), capable of controlling cell proliferation on the upper part of the pistil (DePaoli et ai., 2011), probably through the inhibrtron of the cyclin-CDK (Cyclin Dependent protein Kinase) complex. To exert its function, the protein SCH has to interact with other proteins. In a previous project (process no. 10…

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…
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…
