Andre Rodrigues dos Reis is Professor of Plant Physiology at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. He got his PhD in 2013 from Waseda University, Tokyo-Japan. Reis research program focuses mainly in develop new techniques to elucidate the physiology mechanisms underlying phytonutrient biosynthesis and nutrient metabolism aiming genetic and agronomic biofortification of edible crops. The goal of his research is to improve the nutritional quality and health-promoting chemical properties of crops. In addition, Reis is very interested to study the role of micronutrients such as B, Co, Mo, Ni, Se, Zn and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on crop physiology and yield. He was Visiting Professor at Cornell University (USA), University of Nottingham (UK), University of Birmingham (UK), Ghent University (Belgium) and worked as Assistant Professor at Waseda University (Japan).Prof. Reis was listed according to Stanford ranking list as Top 2 Scientist most important worldwide. contact: andre.reis@unesp.br contact: andre.reis@unesp.br https://www.feis.unesp.br/#!/pos-graduacao/stricto-sensu1204/agronomia/corpo-docente/http://www.fcav.unesp.br/#!/pos-graduacao/programas-pg/agronomia-producao-vegetal/corpo-docente/ (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for plants, humans, and animals. The concentration of Fe in the blood is closely related to the concentration of Fe in food, and its deficiency promotes anemia in the human population. In soil, the primary form of Fe is trivalent; however, plants absorb Fe in the bivalent form. The application of high doses of lime increases the pH and makes Fe unavailabl…
Sugarcane cultivation is of great economic and territorial importance in Brazil, with the country being the world's largest producer, mainly of sugar and ethanol. However, climate change is negatively affecting its production, with increasingly frequent extreme weather events such as high temperatures and droughts. Abiotic stresses promote the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (RO…
Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient for humans and animals and is considered a beneficial element for plants, whose intake occurs through the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Despite its importance in human health, there is conclusive evidence of Se deficiency in Brazilian soils. The ingestion of Se by humans is closely related to its availability in the soil. Agronomic biofor…
Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee and is also the second-largest consumer. Coffee is the second most consumed beverage worldwide after water, and its demand is on the rise in the market. However, to make it up, cultivation techniques are needed to overcome the adversities that affect the development of the plant, once coffee (Coffea arabica) has been affected b…
Magnesium (Mg) is part of the chlorophyll molecule and has an important physiological role as an enzyme activator of rubisco. It is known as a forgotten element due to scarcity of research in relation to the nutritional and physiological role of Mg in plants, in addition, it is found in low amounts in the soil, possibly due to anthropogenic activities, such as the inadequate supply of pot…
Selenium (Se) is essential for humans and animals and considered beneficial for plants at low concentration.There is conclusive evidence of Se deficiency in Brazilian soils. Selenium can activate flavonoids biosynthesis in roots of legume plants, increasing chemotaxis between roots and bacteria Rhizobium. Little is known about the role of Se on nodulation of legumine plants. The hypothes…

Magnesium (Mg) is part of the chlorophyll molecule and plays an important physiological role as an enzymatic activator of rubisco. However, Mg is known as a forgotten element due to the scarcity of research regarding the nutritional and physiological role of Mg in plants. In addition, Mg is found at low concentrations in the soil of tropical areas, possibly resulting from anthropogenic ac…
Selenium (Se) is essential element to humans and animals, and considered benefit to higher plants at low concentration. Selenium application as selenate source share similarities with sulfur (S) in transport and assimilation by plants. Thus, Se can affect S uptake and assimilation and vice-versa, which could lead to alterations in metabolisms pathways related to S and Se, such as flavonoi…
There are conclusive evidences of selenium (Se) deficiency in Brazilian soils, which can reflect on Se deficiency in humans and animals. Therefore, there is a need to increase the levels of Se in foods of Brazilian diet. The cowpea beans is the main protein source for the population living in the Northeast of Brazil. In addition, Se presents a great influence on nitrogen metabolism of pla…
