The search for alternative solutions for agriculture has intensified due to the high costs of obtaining chemical fertilizers and the agricultural losses caused by drought. In addition to these challenges is international pressure for the sustainable use of resources and the search for regenerative agriculture. To meet this current demand from the agricultural market, we are proposing a te…
Grasses play a crucial role on human and animal feed and, recently, have received special attention to the biofuels production. In this way, two aspects point as a lack to be fulfilled aiming the mitigation of anthropic effects together with the increase in energy demands: i) biomass accumulation based on genetic engineering; ii) global warming and its impact on plant productivity as a re…
In recent years, the substitution of fossil fuels by alternative sources of energy has been intensely discussed. Great efforts have been focused on research of renewable fuels and ethanol emerges as a promissory solution for this subject. In this context, sugarcane appears in advantage in Brazil due to its high adaptability to different environmental conditions and its high productivity a…
In this Project the master fellow will evaluate the uptake of RNAi precursors inplants of Setaria italica and Setaria viridis. Both species are C4 grasses and theircultivation is well stablished in our laboratory. The project includes the use of fumarasegene as a marker to evaluate the effects of exogenous application of RNAi precursors.Results obtained from the Young Researcher Project 1…
Future scenarios of agriculture production considering the consequences of climate change, with more intense drought episodes, need biotechnological solutions to improve drought tolerance in crops. Grasses using C4 photosynthetic pathway play a central role in worldwide agriculture, essential to produce food and feed as well as biomass for bioenergy. Apocarotenoids, naturally occurring pl…
Cell respiration in plants has been studied in the late years, especially in those plants expressing the C3 photosynthetic metabolism. Despite the efforts on this topic, many questions remain unclear. This is even more evident when considering the interaction of cell respiration and other metabolic pathways in C4 photosynthetic metabolism. Some studies suggest that the metabolic control o…

Grasses play a crucial role in human and animal feed, and more recently have received special attention for the production of biofuels. In respect to both these applications two broad traits are limiting the development of appropriate germplasm that can mitigate anthropic effects on crop production and the increased demand for energy: i) biomass productivity based on genetic engineering; …
