Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in the world and Brazil is its principal producer. Bioethanol importance has increased investments on the acquisition of sugarcane varieties with higher sucrose content. It is known that when sugarcane is cultivated under high CO2 regime it responds with increased photosynthetic rate, plant height, biomass production, water use efficiency, indu…
Understanding sugarcane ripening control is an interesting scientific challenge. Ethylene is a key component for maturation on several plant species. However, in sugarcane, a plant with unique sucrose accumulation characteristics, the role of ethylene remains elusive. Our hypothesis is that ethylene is a key hormone for several sugarcane developmental steps. This project has as goal the p…
Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in the world and Brazil is its principal producer. However, little is known about physiological and molecular mechanisms of acquisition and functionality of nutrients in Sugarcane. Potassium (K+) is the most absorbed macronutrient and corresponds up to 10% of plants dry mass. K+ transporters are important for acquisition of the ion from the soi…
H+ and Al3+ toxicity, present in acid soils, are yield limiting factors. Studies in this area often presume independent effects of H+ and Al3+. However, both cause cell wall damages which can compromise its functionality and integrity, and, thus, mutually influence their interactions with the cell wall. Additionally, the sensibility varies with cell type, being the most sensitive to both,…
Nucleases, like CRISPR/Cas9, can be designed to create double strand breaks (DSB) in specific DNA sequences. These DBS will stimulate the plant cell's DNA repair system that may result in frameshift mutations due to deletions and insertions typical of this error prone process, producing loss of function mutants. One major advantage of CRISPR/Cas9 is its multiplexing capacity, which allows…
