Bachelor's and Teaching degree in Biological Sciences from the University of São Paulo (FFCLRP/USP). PhD student in the Postgraduate Program in Comparative Biology (FFCLRP/USP), with research on the secretion dynamics of latex and its ecological function in entomophilous species of Moraceae. Acted as a volunteer monitor in several Plant Biology and Molecular Biology subjects throughout undergraduate studies (2019-2022), was also a working group coordinator in the university extension projects IV and V Bio on the Street (2020-2021), and it is a participant in the Plant Biology Journal Club. Felipe has experience with description of morphological characters of plants, anatomical, histochemical and ultrastructural testing, scientific writing, biodiversity education and scientific propagation via social media. He has interests in Plant Anatomy, Secretory Structures, Plant Development, Comparative Plant Biology, Plant Ecology, Biodiversity Teaching and Ethnobotany. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and/or release of secondary metabolites in plant species, and are of immense importance in chemistry and biology due to their applications in various areas of scientific knowledge. The laticifer is an example of a secretory structure, characterized by a complex latex secretion system. Latex is a suspension of secondary met…
The study of secretory structures in plant species has huge importance inside Botany, and even in Biological Sciences, due to its applications in several areas of human knowledge. The laticifers, one of those secretory structures, are characterized by the production of an emulsion, denominated latex, responsible for having many chemical compounds, of the most varied functions on the inter…
Laticifers are secretory structures responsible for latex production, widely present in species of the Moraceae family. The latex is a key component in plant defense mechanisms, by containing a range of chemical compounds that deter herbivores and parasites. The growth patterns and tri-dimensional distribution of laticifers, as well as the specific plant tissues in which they are present …
