Global coffee production relies almost exclusively on Coffea arabica and C. canephora, species with narrow genetic bases and increasing vulnerability to climate change. Projections suggest a significant reduction of suitable areas by 2050, with major economic losses and strong effects on smallholder farmers. In this context, C. liberica sensu lato (s.l.) emerges as a strategic alternative…
Advances in sequencing techniques and genome assembly pipelines have allowed the development of large-scale projects focused on generating high-quality reference genomes that will contribute to a better understanding of species diversity and evolution. The establishment of reference genomic resources is also key to biodiversity conservation issues. Data from these and other initiatives ha…
Quillaja brasiliensis is a tree species native to southern Brazil, popularly known as "pão-sabão", which produces bioactive triterpene saponins. Leaf saponins of Q. brasiliensis show pronounced adjuvant activity in experimental veterinary vaccines, comparable to the commercial adjuvant Quil-A®, obtained from Quillaja saponaria bark, a source that is not renewable and is at risk of imminen…
The increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main gas responsible for the further greenhouse effect, is unequivocal and not an isolated event, accompanied by increases in global mean temperature and changes in precipitation patterns. Among the important factors to be understood in this context are changes in water relations and production of carbon skeletons …
Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is an allotetraploid in which large scale studies related to signaling molecules are still neglected, despite the economic and social importance of its cultivation in Brazil and worldwide. Recently, it was shown that hexanoic acid, a hexane-derivative fatty acid, can act both as a resistance inducer (primer) molecule and as an antimicrobial substance in …
Diterpenes constitute a diverse class of plant metabolites, participating in both primary and specialized metabolism, and are often lineage- or species-specific. The biosynthesis of these compounds is catalyzed by diterpene synthases (diTPS), enzymes that form a highly diversified gene family. In Coffea arabica, scientific interest has focused on the diterpenes cafestol and kahweol, while…
O trabalho envolverá o acompanhamento fenológico de espécies silvestres de Coffea, incluindo monitoramento de floração, frutificação e maturação, além da coleta de material vegetal em diferentes fases fenológicas. As amostras serão utilizadas para extração de RNA e controle de qualidade do material biológico. Paralelamente, atuará ainda na padronização de dados de RNA-seq, utilizando ferr…
Brazil is one of the largest citrus producers and the global leader in orange production. One of the main challenges faced by both Brazilian and global citrus industries is Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, which is considered the most devastating citrus disease. In Brazil, the most common causal agent of HLB is the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), tra…

O projeto busca aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a diversidade química de espécies silvestres do gênero Coffea, com potencial uso no melhoramento genético do cafeeiro. As espécies C. racemosa, C. liberica e C. stenophylla, conservadas em bancos de germoplasma em Campinas (IAC) e Londrina (IDR-PR), serão avaliadas quanto ao perfil de metabólitos presentes em folhas e frutos em diferentes es…
The genus Coffea, belonging to the Rubiaceae family, comprises approximately 141 species, withcoffee being one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. Brazil is the largest producer andexporter, playing a fundamental role in global production. Currently, coffee production is concentrated in two main species: Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora, which, despite dominating the global marke…
O projeto FAPESP-ANR aqui proposto tem como um dos objetivos obter, por meio de uma abordagem integrativa, conjuntos de genomas e transcriptomas de alta qualidade de espécies silvestres de Coffea, representando a diversidade do gênero e valorizando os recursos biológicos de uma das culturas mais importantes na agricultura brasileira. O trabalho a ser desenvolvido pelo bolsista consistirá …
