Agronomist Engineer, from Julio de Mesquita Filho Sao Paulo University (1991), master's degree in Biological Sciences from Sao Paulo University (1997), PhD in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (2002), Since 2005, she has a researcher position at the Sugarcane Center, Campinas Agronomic Institute (IAC), Brazil. Specialist in plant biotechnology, focusing on gene prospection involved with biotic and abiotic stresses in sugarcane, sugarcane transformation, functional genomics, gene editing, plant micropropagation in temporary immersion systems, development of diagnostic methods for sugarcane diseases and testing of chemical and biological inputs. Since 2016, she has been working on public-private research projects, focusing on development of genetically modified sugarcane cultivars aiming to increase productivity, tolerance to drought stress, modification of the cell wall and resistance to herbicides. Dr Silvana has stood out in leading sugarcane genetic engineering projects, focusing on the use of proprietary technologies, developed over two decades of scientific research.

NPOP-IAC, headquartered at IAC in Campinas, has the main strategic objective of expanding the scientific and technological aiming to solve well-defined problems in three different and economically important cultures of Brazilian agribusiness, citrus, sugar cane and coffee. The adoption of the genomic and biotechnology themes is justified by the current state of the art of breeding program…
Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in Brazil, and it is used as raw material for the production of sugar and bioethanol. Although important advances have been achieved in the development of cultivars over the last decade, obtaining cultivars able to maintain high levels of productivity in restrictive environments represents one of the major challenges of the sugarcane breeding p…
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 tool…

Sugarcane smut disease, caused by the fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, represents the most important fungal disease of sugarcane, causing a decrease in sugar levels, a reduction in the photosynthetic rate, physiological changes in the plant and inhibition of the expression of genes related to the plant's defense systems. While investigating these alterations, our research group (Dr. Claudi…
