Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA). Embrapa Meio-Ambiente (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Researcher at Embrapa Environment and graduate-level professor at the University of São Paulo. He holds a degree in Agronomic Engineering and a PhD in Plant Genetics and Breeding from the University of São Paulo, and served as Head of Research and Development at Embrapa Environment (20152022). He has been a visiting researcher or scientist at CanaVialis/Monsanto, Wageningen University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of Lausanne, Rothamsted Research, and the University of Cambridge. He is a member of the scientific committee of the Promise research program (Gates Foundation) and serves on the editorial boards of ISME Communications and Frontiers in Soil Science. Listed among the top 2 per cent of the worlds most influential scientists (StanfordElsevier), his work focuses on decoding the rhizosphere microbiome to enhance plant resilience under stress.

Microorganisms regulate biogeochemical cycles and interact with each other and their hosts, playing an essential role in sustaining life on Earth. The community of microorganisms inhabiting the soil near plant roots, i.e., the rhizosphere microbiome, influences plant development and physiology, functioning as an extension of the plant genome and providing properties that help the host cop…
Soil microbial diversity plays a crucial role in plant health, influencing pathogen suppression and biocontrol efficacy. This study investigated how soil microbial diversity modulates interactions between the pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana and the biocontrol bacterium Pseudomonas inefficax in the wheat rhizosphere. Using adilution-to-extinction method, we established five soil microbial d…
The use of biological products in agriculture, including biopesticides, biostimulants and biofertilizers, has increased considerably in recent years with a projected global market value expected to reach $20 billion in 2026. However, the efficacy of microbiological inoculants is still limited and their use often yields inconsistent outcomes. Some of the observed limitations in the use of …

Wheat is the second most cultivated cereal in the world with an increase on its consumption every year. Considering the intensification of productive systems and the increasing dependence of pesticides, it is an urgent need to find sustainable alternatives specially for wheat crop management. In this context, the rhizosphere microbioma offers the host plant many beneficial functions inclu…
The rhizosphere microbiome is essential for health and development of plants, providing protection against pests and diseases, facilitating the acquisition of nutrients and helping plants to resist the abiotic stresses as well. In this context, plants developed different mechanisms to interact with the environment, including recruitment of microorganisms in the rhizosphere, which is predo…
Concurrent with the population growth, agricultural production tend to grow to meet the food demand. To reset the macro and micronutrients that are removed from the soil in crops, the application of chemical fertilizers are constantly applied. The indiscriminate use of inputs, particularly phosphate, is responsible for the appearance of many impacts on the environment. In order to minimiz…

Microorganisms regulate biogeochemical cycles in the environment and interact with each other and with their hosts, playing a central role in maintaining life on Earth. Complex microbial communities, or microbiomes, that inhabit the soil region close to the roots interact with plants influencing their development and physiology. Although recent studies have described the composition and f…
Bacillus subtilis is one of the most studied gram-positive plant growth promoters of rhizobacteria, with great agricultural and ecological importance. Its capacity to induce plant development, pathogen protection, and host abiotic stress protection are widely explored by researchers. For that, mutant gene-defective models can be created to understand the important traits associated with t…
The rhizosphere microbiome is essential for health and development of plants, providing protection against pests and diseases. In our ongoing project, we proposed the hypothesis that domestication of plant species may have affected the biodiversity of microbial communities in ancestral plant roots compared to the modern plants, which may have impacted the plant-microbiome defense mechanis…
