This proposal aims to integrate research developed in Brazil, by the group of Dr Paulo Mazzafera, from the State University of Campinas, with the expertise in metabolomics of Dr Toshihiro Obata, from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Two projects under development in Brazil, one granted by FAPESP, would have their materials subjected to metabolomics analyses. In the first project (Fap…
In several plants, Na can partially replace K, leading to even greater growth. This substitution would be mainly linked to the effects on the osmotic potential. In Eucalyptus, this has been studied, and its viability has been verified in the field, where Na could partially replace K, with reduced fertilization costs and without adverse effects on growth. However, this possibility has been…
Phosphorus (P) is one the three essential minerals found in greatest abundance in plant tissues. It is part of the molecule of ATP, RNA and DNA, membrane lipids and various other molecules without which plants do not live. Phosphate rocks are the main source of phosphate fertilizers used in agriculture and the deposits are finite. This, along with the fact that P in the soil is little ava…
Low temperature adversely affects the growth and development of plants. DREBs genes belong to the family of transcription factors APETALA2 (AP2) that bind to the cis-element DRE/CRT and regulate the expression of genes related to stress responses, and DREB1/CBF genes appear to be closely related to tolerance to low temperature in plants. Much of what we know about it is based on the model…
Mais de 500 proteínas quinases estão presentes no genoma humano, atuando como chaves regulatórias de praticamente todos os processos fisiológicos do organismo humano. As quinases podem ser moduladas através de pequenas moléculas químicas altamente potentes. No entanto, apesar de sua importância e adequação para a descoberta de fármacos, a maioria das pesquisas acadêmicas e farmacêuticas t…
The visit of Dr. Joseph Polacco is related to the development of several projects being developed by the Unicamp group, coordinated by Dr. Paulo Mazzafera, and ESALQ-USP group, coordinated by Dr. José Laércio Favarin. Some of these projects are granted by Fapesp as regular projects or they are related with research carried out by undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctorates. D…

Phosphorous (P) is a macronutrient essential for plant growth and is present in different molecules that have major biological importance. P is a non-renewable element in nature, obtained from phosphorous rocks. Thus, P used as a fertilizer can lead to an extinction of its natural fonts. Most of the P present in soils is insoluble and not available for plant uptake hence being necessary d…

Biostimulants have the potential to improve plant development and consequently their productivity, as well as being an alternative to reduce the use of traditional inputs. Despite the benefits of applying biostimulants, the challenge is to understand the mode of action of these products so that their use can be rationalized according to the culture and its various phenological stages and …

Phosphorus (P) is part of essential molecules for plants life. Because phosphate rocks used to produce fertilizers are finite and soil P availability is generally low in areas with P-fixing soils, there is a need to better understand plant responses to P availability. To access soil P, plants possess a series of mechanisms required to maximize P-uptake and its use efficiency. In previous …
Genome editing using clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 system (CRISPR/Cas9) has been proven as a powerful tool in genome editing and promises to revolutionize the use of biotechnology for crop breeding. Engineered from prokaryotes immune system, genome editing by CRISPR enable the progress of more accurate science considering its high r…
Sugarcane is an important crop for Brazilian economy both for its use in sugar and biofuels production, being Brazil the world´s leading producer of this culture. The growing need to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increased dramatically the appeal and demand for biofuels. Research indicates the exponential increase in bioethanol production in the upcoming years just exploring t…
