Currently, the agricultural sector faces two concurrent challenges: the increasing the food productivity of the growing global population, increasing the efficiency of resource use, and reducing the environmental impact on ecosystems and human health generated by the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The use of plant biostimulants is a very helpful practice in resolvin…
In several plants, Na can partially replace K, leading to even greater growth. This substitution would be mainly linked to the effects on the osmotic potential. In Eucalyptus, this has been studied, and its viability has been verified in the field, where Na could partially replace K, with reduced fertilization costs and without adverse effects on growth. However, this possibility has been…
This proposal aims to integrate research developed in Brazil, by the group of Dr Paulo Mazzafera, from the State University of Campinas, with the expertise in metabolomics of Dr Toshihiro Obata, from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Two projects under development in Brazil, one granted by FAPESP, would have their materials subjected to metabolomics analyses. In the first project (Fap…
Phosphorus (P) is one the three essential minerals found in greatest abundance in plant tissues. It is part of the molecule of ATP, RNA and DNA, membrane lipids and various other molecules without which plants do not live. Phosphate rocks are the main source of phosphate fertilizers used in agriculture and the deposits are finite. This, along with the fact that P in the soil is little ava…
Low temperature adversely affects the growth and development of plants. DREBs genes belong to the family of transcription factors APETALA2 (AP2) that bind to the cis-element DRE/CRT and regulate the expression of genes related to stress responses, and DREB1/CBF genes appear to be closely related to tolerance to low temperature in plants. Much of what we know about it is based on the model…

Conservationist production systems, such as no-tillage system (NT), represent a sustainable way to produce food, as long as its three principles are attained: (i) no soil tillage; (ii) permanent soil cover either as plant residues or living plants; and (iii) crop rotation. However, the way NT is done in Brazil, those principles are not always attained and problems such as soil compaction,…
This project aims to study the existence of a synergistic interaction between P and Mg, leading to better development of eucalyptus species, which differ in terms of their efficiency and responsiveness regarding P uptake. A few studies show that this occurs in plants but has never been evaluated in eucalyptus. Therefore, because we will use two species of eucalyptus that differ regarding…

Phosphorus (P) is part of essential molecules for life, such as ATP, RNA and DNA molecules, membrane lipids, among others without which plants cannot survive. Phosphate rocks used to produce fertilizers are finite, and the fact that P in the soil is frequently poorly available to plants makes it necessary to maximize the efficiency of P use by plants. More than 80% of terrestrial plant sp…
Phosphorus (P) is part of essential molecules for plants life. Because phosphate rocks used to produce fertilizers are finite and soil P availability is generally low in areas with P-fixing soils, there is a need to better understand plant responses to P availability. To access soil P, plants possess a series of mechanisms required to maximize P-uptake and its use efficiency. In previous …
Genome editing using clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 system (CRISPR/Cas9) has been proven as a powerful tool in genome editing and promises to revolutionize the use of biotechnology for crop breeding. Engineered from prokaryotes immune system, genome editing by CRISPR enable the progress of more accurate science considering its high r…
