Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Biociências (IB) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Professor at the Botany Department of the University of São Paulo (USP), holds a BA in biological sciences (Rio de Janeiro State University- UERJ, 1983) and a PhD in Genetic & Microbiology (University of Paris-Sud 11 - France, 1989). Dr Van Sluys heads the Genomes and Transposable Elements (GaTE) Laboratory at USP. Research interests focus on molecular processes that result in biodiversity as well as plant-microbe interaction. By means of comparative genomics and the study of transposable elements, insight was gained in the diversification of Xanthomonadaceae and in plants. Over 50 professionals joined her group at different stages of their career and are now working at private or public sectors in Brazil or abroad. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

- Genes, genomes & transposable elements contribution to plant-microbe interaction: a sugarcane study case, AP.BIOEN.TEM
Abstract
Plant-Microbe interaction is a fundamental process in the biosphere that impacts natural ecosystems as well as agroecosystems. The understanding of the biological components and processes that control this interaction is expected to improve crop productivity and monitor environmental quality. Our approach to tackle this complex system is to use genome-wide molecular and bioinformatic to...

- Extending synthetic biology collaborations between WISB and BSSB, AP.R SPRINT
Abstract
The overall aim of this proposal is to build a productive and mutually beneficial partnership with BSSB at USP. This is one arm of our growing international Synthetic Biology Network, which also includes CoSBI (Boston), UPF (Barcelona) and CNB (Madrid). A strong partnership between WISB and BSSB will enable us to establish joint research projects that are funded through BBSRC-FAPESP. Es...

- Functional studies of THI1 in plants, BP.DD
Abstract
The THI1 gene encodes a thiazole biosynthesis protein, a component of thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine is an essential cofactor in metabolic carbohydrates and amino acids, especially in plants. In A. thaliana there is only one copy of the THI1 gene and its primary transcript is directed to the chloroplasts and mitochondria through the use of two initialization codons. In addition, the A....
- In vitro comparative biology of four Xathomonas aeblineans strains, BP.IC
Abstract
The bacteria Xanthomonas albilineans infects sugarcane causing leaf scald disease, which can result in total loss of infected crop. Its well-known strains show intraspecific differences in severity of the disease, but the causes of this variation are not completely elucidated. Studies with strains from various locations of the world show higher colonization of the aerial parts of the pl...
- Genome comparative analysis of four Xanthomonas albilineans isolates and prospection of target genes for association studies with known phenotypes, BP.DD
Abstract
Xanthomonas albilineans is the agent responsible for the leaf scald in sugarcane. This culture represents one of the relevant cultures of the Brazilian agribusiness for being an important worldwide commodity. Four field isolates were sequenced in a partnership established in 2015 between Dr. Silvana Creste (IAC) and Dr. Marie-Anne Van Sluys. Preliminary analysis of these bacterial isola...

- Uncovering the interaction of the bacteria Xanthomonas albilineans and Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus with the sugarcane endophytic microbiome, BP.PD
Abstract
A surprising number of microorganisms colonizes sugarcane. Several of them are associated with profound effects on plant growth and development, nutrition, tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. The endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus promotes the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and alleviates the symptoms of leaf scald disease caused by the pathogenic agent Xantho...
- Characterizing the relation between the Tnt1 retrotransposon expression and Nicotiana tabacum's cell cycle, BP.IC
Abstract
The transposable element Tnt1 is present in a high number of copies in the Nicotiana tabacum genome. In previous results, this transposable element was indicated to be linked with development of leaf-disc-regenarated tobacco. Also in previous results another transposable element from the same family as Tnt1 appears to have a cyclic pattern of expression throughout the cell cycle. Thus, ...

- The influence of mobile genetic elements on Xanthomonas oryzae lineages, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Mobile genetic elements have largely influenced the bacterial genomic evolution. They play an important role in increasing genetic variability and therefore, promoting genetically diverse populations in a constantly changing environment. My Doctorate research project investigates how mobile elements potentially influenced the evolutionary history of phytopathogenic Xanthomonas oryzae li...
- Construction of plant models for functional study of sugarcane Thi1 gene variants, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a C4 photosynthesis monocot and is an important tropical crop grown for sucrose production. The thi1 gene was the first reported to be involved in plant thiamine biosynthesis. THI1 protein is known to be involved in the synthesis of the thiazole ring, a thiamine (vitamin B1) component, which is an essential co-factor in several carbohydrate and amino acid m...
- Evolutionary dynamics and chromosomal distribution of telomeric repeats on chromosomes of Saccharum spp, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
The Saccharum complex (Poaceae) is one of the most important species due to its ecological dominance and agricultural and economic importance. Modern sugarcane cultivars are hybrid derivatives from crosses between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. These cultivars display between 100 and 130 chromosomes, with unequal contributions of the parental genomes. They have large genomes (~10Gb),...
