Breeding programs have been successfully over the years in the generation of new improved sugarcane varieties (Saccharum spp.), which are more productive and resistant to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses. These varieties are of central importance for sugar and ethanol production. However, breeding process takes about 10 to 15 years to release new varieties, mainly because of the diffi…
This project is characterized by the multiplicity of actions around a central theme: the genetic improvement of maize (Zea mays). Various lines of research are presented, covering aspects of improvement methodologies, introgression and exploration of new germplasmas, synthesis and improvement of populations, nutritional quality and resistance to stresses, particularly pests and diseases. …
Jequitibá-rosa (Cariniana legalis Mart. O. Kuntze), the symbol tree of São Paulo state, is one of the largest trees of the Atlantic Forest. The species is endemic to Brazil and occur in low population density (less than one tree/ha). However, the Atlantic Forest was intensively fragmented in the last centuries, and today remains only between 11 to 16% of the original forest. Forest fragme…
