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.

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…
The Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca strain 9a5c is a Gram-negative, xylem-limited bacterium that is able to form a biofilm and affects citrus crops in Brazil. Some genes are considered to be involved in biofilm formation, but the specific mechanisms involved in this process remain unknown. This limited understanding of how some bacteria form biofilms is a major barrier to our comprehension…

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…
Species in the filamentous ascomycete genus Trichoderma play an important role in producing and efficiently secreting carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme), which are utilized industrially for the hydrolysis of plant biomass for the subsequent production of biofuels and high-value biochemicals. The expression of CAZyme-encoding genes is regulated by the action of several Transcription Facto…
Angiosperms appeared in the lower Cretaceous, probably in warm habitats, and they spread to very varied habitats, assuming different ways of life. Even with some ability to resist under low temperatures, species productivity, richness and density, particularly of woody angiosperms, remain limited in regions where temperatures values reaches close to 0°C or below. Although the physiologica…

Urochloa decumbens is one of the main forages used in pastures in tropical and subtropical regions, standing out for its good adaptation to acid and poor soils, easy multiplication by seeds, and good animal performance. However, the susceptibility to attack by the insect spittlebug (Notozulia entreriana Berg) compromises the carrying capacity of the pastures, as well as the production of …
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) Cultivation is of unquestionable importance in the Brazilian economy, totalling more than $ 11 billion in exports in 2016. The improvement of this crop is marked by its genetic complexity - in addition to its highly polyploid genome. Often has aneuploidies, which makes research difficult in the area and contributes to the development of new cultivars is a long a…
One of the most threatened ecosystems by global climate change, Mangrove, is dominated by unique plants, distributed at the continent-ocean interface of tropical and subtropical latitudes of the globe and has great socioeconomic and ecological importance. Nevertheless, in recent decades, this ecosystem has been greatly affected by the intense urbanization and industrialization of coastal …

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 …
Although the use of molecular markers SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) hasmade a major contribution to genetic improvement programs, their application is still limited in the case of sugarcane, a species with high genomic complexity. Due to the lackof biocomputational tools compatible with this species uniqueness, specific methodologieshave to be used. As a result of sugarcane immea…
Grass species from Urochloa genus are excellent perennial forages used in Brazilian pastures to feed livestock. The identification of superior genotypes to use as fodder depends on the selection of many traits under complex genetic control. To make this selection more efficient, the use of molecular tools has been recently employed; however, many genes controlling complex traits remain un…
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the main commercial source of natural rubber, which is used in many products, including tires and medical devices. Despite its importance, this tree has a long generation time, which explains the slow progress in breeding, usually 30 years per cycle using traditional methods. Considering the breeding time, any tool that reduces this time, such as ma…
