Anete Pereira de Souza completed a course in Agronomic Engineering at ESALQ / USP in 1984 and a doctorate in Cellular and Molecular Biology - Universite de Paris XI (Paris-Sud) in 1992. She is currently Full Professor at the Department of Plant Biology at the State University of Campinas, in the area of Plant Genetics. For the past 28 years, she has been teaching, researching and training undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Campinas. She also supervised several undergraduates, postgraduates and young researchers (postdoctoral) and coordinated different scientific projects. Her main area of research is genetic variation in plants and fungi: molecular breeding, plant biotechnology, plant breeding, genetics and genomics of plants and fungi, bioinformatics and enzyme biotechnology.

Pastures and sugarcane are economically important crops, with genetic complexities that restrict the availability of genomic resources and make the selection process slower and more complicated than in other important agricultural species. Food production and also bio-based resources face constant abiotic and biotic challenges, and sustainable practices and environmentally-friendly soluti…
Agribusiness is responsible for 27% of Brazil's gross domestic product, being the most prominent sector in the country's economy. Pastures are the dominant component in this sector, occupying a third of the national territory. However, its productivity has been seriously affected by pests such as spittlebug, including those of the species Mahanarva spectabilis, which generate losses of ar…
The high price of oil and the growing interest in consuming raw material from renewable sources has increased the demand for natural rubber, which that the only commercial source is the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Brazil came from a situation which was the original center of production of rubber and had the greatest diversity, became the largest producer of it and now is importing m…
The genus Trichoderma is of great biotechnological importance due to the capacity that the fungi of this group present in the degradation of cellulosic substrates and the generation of free sugars, which in turn can be exploited for the production of biofuel, with special attention to bioethanol. In this context, the main objective of this project is to carry out a systematic study focusi…

Sugarcane is a crucial crop for meeting food demands and facilitating the energy transition in the coming years. The crop has seen significant productivity gains through genetic improvement during breeding programs. However, sugarcane breeding faces challenges such as the long time required for cultivar development and difficulties with conventional phenotyping, which can be imprecise and…
Natural rubber is a critical raw material for the industry, and its primary commercial source is the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The growing demand for natural rubber and the shortage in international supply expected for the coming years have encouraged the search for new strategies to boost the production of the material. Brazil, the centre of origin of the rubber tree and once the…

The current state of research on climate change allows us to notice the significant challenges that agriculture will face in the near future. These challenges are closely tied to the ability of plants to respond to increasing intensity and frequency of harmful conditions, such as drought, elevated temperatures, and salinity. Mangroves are an ecosystem that provides numerous environmental …
Brazil stands out as one of the main exporters in the agricultural and cattle raising sector, therefore the increase of its productivity is essential for the development of the country and one of the main strategies to achieve this goal is the improvement of the grasses used as pasture. The most widely used forage species is Urochloa decumbens for its good adaptation to poor soils, resist…
Natural rubber is a necessary raw material for products of several industries; its only commercial source is the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.). Although it is not native to the southeastern region of Brazil, the state of São Paulo is currently the largest producer due to the colder climate that makes it difficult to spread the agent that causes leaf blight, the primary pest…

Soil salinity is a major environmental stressor that restricts the growth and yield of most plants. Understanding the molecular responses associated with salt tolerance will be extremely important in light of the growing demand for food crops and bioenergy. Distributed on the shores of Lake Tuz, Turkey, where soils accumulate high concentrations of multiple-ion salts, Schrenkiella parvula…
Apomixis is a highly desirable trait in modern agriculture since it enables the clonal propagation of maternal genotypes through seed, capturing heterosis and gene combinations of elite phenotypes. Apomixis is hailed as the "holy grail" of plant breeding, because if it could be harnessed via genetic engineering or introgression, would be a major economic impact for agricultural crops in t…
Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oleiferous crop worldwide, and is also highly valuable as a polyploid model species. One of the most relevant pathogens infecting this crop is turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), which is transmitted by several aphid species. The most efficient resource to avoid yield losses associated to TuMV is host resistance, which has been identified in …
