Andre Rodrigues dos Reis is Professor of Plant Physiology at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. He got his PhD in 2013 from Waseda University, Tokyo-Japan. Reis research program focuses mainly in develop new techniques to elucidate the physiology mechanisms underlying phytonutrient biosynthesis and nutrient metabolism aiming genetic and agronomic biofortification of edible crops. The goal of his research is to improve the nutritional quality and health-promoting chemical properties of crops. In addition, Reis is very interested to study the role of micronutrients such as B, Co, Mo, Ni, Se, Zn and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on crop physiology and yield. He was Visiting Professor at Cornell University (USA), University of Nottingham (UK), University of Birmingham (UK), Ghent University (Belgium) and worked as Assistant Professor at Waseda University (Japan). contact: andre.reis@unesp.br contact: andre.reis@unesp.br https://www.feis.unesp.br/#!/pos-graduacao/stricto-sensu1204/agronomia/corpo-docente/ http://www.fcav.unesp.br/#!/pos-graduacao/programas-pg/agronomia-producao-vegetal/corpo-docente/ (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Magnesium (Mg) is part of the chlorophyll molecule and has an important physiological role as an enzyme activator of rubisco. It is known as a forgotten element due to scarcity of research in relation to the nutritional and physiological role of Mg in plants, in addition, it is found in low amounts in the soil, possibly due to anthropogenic activities, such as the inadequate supply of pot…
Selenium (Se) is essential for humans and animals and considered beneficial for plants at low concentration.There is conclusive evidence of Se deficiency in Brazilian soils. Selenium can activate flavonoids biosynthesis in roots of legume plants, increasing chemotaxis between roots and bacteria Rhizobium. Little is known about the role of Se on nodulation of legumine plants. The hypothes…
Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee and is also the second-largest consumer. Coffee is the second most consumed beverage worldwide after water, and its demand is on the rise in the market. However, to make it up, cultivation techniques are needed to overcome the adversities that affect the development of the plant, once coffee (Coffea arabica) has been affected b…
Selenium (Se) is essential for humans and animals and is considered a beneficial element for plants when applied in low concentrations. There is conclusive evidence about the deficiency of Se in soils in Brazil and consequently in agricultural and human products. Little is known about the effect of Se on the metabolism of nitrogen (N) and sugars. Recent work has shown that there is a clos…
Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) is extremely relevant for Brazilian economy. Brazil is the largest sugar producer and exporter and the second largest ethanol producer and exporter in the world. Nitrogen (N) metabolism is fundamental for sugarcane plants. Plant assimilate nitrogen into amino acids and proteins that participate in the metabolic processes in cells, playing a functional an…

Magnesium (Mg) is part of the chlorophyll molecule and plays an important physiological role as an enzymatic activator of rubisco. However, Mg is known as a forgotten element due to the scarcity of research regarding the nutritional and physiological role of Mg in plants. In addition, Mg is found at low concentrations in the soil of tropical areas, possibly resulting from anthropogenic ac…
Selenium (Se) is essential element to humans and animals, and considered benefit to higher plants at low concentration. Selenium application as selenate source share similarities with sulfur (S) in transport and assimilation by plants. Thus, Se can affect S uptake and assimilation and vice-versa, which could lead to alterations in metabolisms pathways related to S and Se, such as flavonoi…
There are conclusive evidences of selenium (Se) deficiency in Brazilian soils, which can reflect on Se deficiency in humans and animals. Therefore, there is a need to increase the levels of Se in foods of Brazilian diet. The cowpea beans is the main protein source for the population living in the Northeast of Brazil. In addition, Se presents a great influence on nitrogen metabolism of pla…
There are conclusive evidences of selenium (Se) deficiency in Brazilian soils, which can reflect on Se deficiency in plants, animals and humans. Thus, studies to increase the Se rate in edible parts of modern cultivars are required, because the yield increases has not been accompanied by an equal increase of micronutrient rate in the grains. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of S…
