Different areas of production, such as food, agricultural and technological demand for products based on nanotechnology. This fact alerts the community about the possible effects that products composed of nanoparticles (NPs) can cause to the environment and, consequently, to living organisms. NPs may be present in biological systems and linked to molecules performing different functions o…
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a technique that can be used to separate proteins according to their length, molecular weight and/or charge. From a practical point of view, this technique is able to provide valuable information about the presence, abundance, activity and isoforms of proteins. Among the functional classes of proteins, the enzymes are intensely modulated during…
In the last decades, agriculture has been changed with arising of new scenarios of environmental problems, especially those involving the contamination of soil and water with heavy metals. These problems are more serious when we consider that metals such as cadmium (Cd) can easily enter in food chain by their absorption via the roots of the plant species used as foods. Although several st…
We aim to improve the competencies of the Genetics Department (LGN/ESALQ/USP) with the inclusion of the 'Ecosystem Health (human, animal, vegetal and environmental)' dimension in the approach given to the adaptive human strategies associated to food security and nutrition, local knowledge and perceptions related to the natural resources, migration, subsistence strategies and their associa…

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal whose concentration has been increased considerably over the last few decades in several countries (which is related to anthropogenic activities). This metal is potentially harmful to human health and plants, being one of the most threatening contaminants to the environment. However, there are very few studies whose approach is the development of management s…
Some plants are able to 'remember' stress events and use this stored acknowledgement ('stress memory') to prepare their offspring to the persistent stressors. However, there is scarce information about the transgenerational effects that is triggered by the plant exposure to heavy metals, which are the most frequent contaminant in soils nowadays. Cadmium (Cd) is an extremely toxic metal to…
Abiotic stresses commonly cause physiological limitations to plant growth and development, justifying studies efforts focused on understanding the endogenous mechanisms of plants that act in response to such stresses, ultimately contributing to increased plant tolerance. Cadmium (Cd) is one of the main contaminants that is a major threat to the environment, potentially damaging plant prod…
Production of citrus in the state of São Paulo and Triângulo Mineiro, the main orange producing regions of the country, has been reduced in recent years due to climate change, mainly characterized by increased light radiation and air temperature. The occurrences of climatic extremes events have provided abscission of flowers, but mainly fruits during the formation process. It is estimated…

The greenhouse effect has made high-temperature events more frequent, which strongly affects plant productivity. Heat stress affects chloroplasts and inactivates proteins, including Rubisco. This can cause redox imbalance, loss of photosynthetic efficiency, decreased CO2 assimilation, and possibly cell death. Agriculture plays a crucial role in food and the global economy. Specifically, s…
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that poses a potential risk to human health through crop plants. Cd is considered a major environmental pollutants and is known to affect metabolic processes in living organisms. Given the importance of tomato with regards to food security and safety goals, our work has been focusing on Cd tolerance mechanisms in this crop species. By using grafted tomato pla…
The problems related to the cadmium (Cd) toxicity on plants are increasing every year; however, the number of tolerant species to this metal is extremely limited. Therefore, the discovery of tomato (which is both a plant crop and model species) cultivars with high tolerance to Cd is a relevant matter, since they can be used in both plant breeding programs and studies for identification an…
