Professor of Department of Genetics and Evolution at Federal University of São Carlos. Graduated in agronomic engineering at Federal University of São Carlos (1999) and has PhD in Sciences from Federal University of São Carlos (2004). Her PhD was in cooperation with Dr. Stephen Benkovick , under a sandwiche PhD program at Penn State University, Department of Chemistry in the area of Protein-DNA Shuffling (2003). She completed postdoctoral studies at the Department of Genetics and Evolution of UFSCar from 2005 to 2009 in the field of transgenic plants. She is coordinator of Laboratory of Plant Biotechnology (LBV), conducting studies in plant biotechnology, specifically characterization of insects peptidases and insects resistance proteins from citrus and sugarcane. She was the coordinator of the Postgraduate Course in Evolutionary Genetics and Molecular Biology (PPGGEv) at UFSCar (2014-2017). He is currently completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Florida (Lake Alfred, USA) as Visiting Scholar at the Citrus Research and Education Center, IFAS. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the consumption of highly calorie, more specific or sugar foods. With the passage of time or the consumption of sugar in Brazil and in the world, it has been causing and bringing consequences for human health, leading patients to overweight and the development of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In the sear…
The Brazilian citrus industry is one of the most important agricultural activities to the national economy. Brazil is now the largest orange producer and exporter of concentrated orange juice in the world. The citrus plants are being constantly attacked by pests and pathogens that cause damage to the plants and, consequently, a significant decreasing in productivity. A disease called Huan…
The cultivation of sugar cane has an important role in the Brazilian economy, mainly due to its production potential and its by products such as sugar and ethanol. This set of features makes this one of the most important activities of the national agribusiness. However, it is common the occurrence of some factors that influence in productivity decline causing damage to the sugarcane sect…
Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xac) is the bacterium responsible for citrus canker disease in citrus plants. The aim of the present study was to describe the recombinant expression, purification and characterization of a cysteine peptidase from Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (strain 306) that is a candidate potentially involved in the pathogenicity of this bacterium. The gene was cloned …

Brazil is essentially an agricultural country, being highlighted in citriculture, mainly in the production and export of oranges. However, despite their economic relevance, plantations are severely affected by pests and pathogens, many of which have few effective control measures. Huanglongbing (HLB), known as greening, is the most serious and destructive disease, affecting fruit growth, …
The high consumption of sugar in Brazil and in the world has had drastic consequences for human health, bringing diseases such as obesity and related diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In the search for alternatives to decrease in sugar consumption, several studies have emerged related to the development of caloric and non-caloric sweeteners, of natural or artificial origin…
The Brazilian citriculture is one of the most important agricultural activities for the national economy. The Brazil is today the leading orange producer in the world and the largest exporter of concentrated and frozen orange juice. The citrus orchards have been constantly attacked by several pests and pathogens which cause serious damages to the plants and consequently a significant drop…
Of all the chemical attributes, toxicity of aluminum (Al) is a major chemical barrier to strengthening of root system and its ability to absorb water and nutrients. Plant species differ significantly in Al tolerance and its mechanisms are controlled by different genes and by different biochemical pathways. Moreover, no data are available for structural and functional genomics on these gen…
The Brazilian citrus industry is one of the most important agricultural activities for the world economy. Brazil is now the world's largest orange producer and the largest exporter of concentrated orange juice. Citrus plants are being constantly attacked by pests and pathogens, which causes considerable economic losses to citrus industries worldwide. Huanglongbing (HLB), or citrus greenin…
