| This is a Co-financed Project (Edictal CAPES/Embrapa n° 15/2014), conducted with the partnership between the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) - Capão do Leão Campus, the leader institution, and Embrapa Trigo, the partner. Its main objective is the training of human resources (master, doctorate, and postdoctorate) to act on the cereal science and technological area, through the wheat technological quality evaluation as for structural, functional and technological characteristics, promoting k ...

| Protein-protein interactions virtually regulate all processes inside cells, e.g. signal transduction, metabolic regulation, gene regulation, and immunological responses which occur in a specific way. Several experimental methods are capable of detecting interactions between proteins, which can range from cellular "resolution" to experiments which expose atom level interactions. However, the performance of these combined experiments which generate complete information regarding the network of pro ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Enzymes have their function essentially determined by specific residue known as catalytic residue. Most methods to predict enzyme catalytic residue uses at least one criterion of primary sequence conservation. Considering that the function is a product of the structure, this project aims to identify among the structural descriptors available in the Sting software database those of higher relevance in the discrimination of catalytic residue. Thus, the project will propose a new enzyme classificat Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| "To assess the potential of obtaining biochar from timber processing residue in the states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia, and Acre, and its use as a substrate for seedlings of forest species and for the field production of forest species.”Keywords: Carbonized biomass, Eucalyptus, Biochar, Co-products, Pyrolysis, Pyrogenic Vegetable charcoal Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| Despite the growth in the production and productivity rates of dairy farming in Brazil, the globalization of the economy, the fluctuations in domestic and foreign food prices, the changing feeding habits of the population, with the growing interest in functional foods as well as foods from agroecological or organic production systems, coupled with the strong demand for genetically improved and adapted animals, are relevant factors that have challenged research and development agencies in proposi Status: Completed Start date: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Units of family agriculture and natural resources in the Amazon suffer severe negative impacts due to: the lack of sustainable alternates in the use of agricultural areas, and the expansion of exploitative predatory logging, extensive stockbreeding and large scale mechanized agriculture. Integrated systems of management of natural resources involving technologies that mitigate environmental impact represent sustainable alternates to small farmers and natural resources, once the adoption of more Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Failures to transmit information significantly impair the coordination and interaction between the different agents in the milk production chain. A large number of nationally based companies and a myriad of producers and policy makers face the challenge of structuring themselves for competition in a globalized business world. The main objective of the project was to provide information, structural analysis and monitoring of conjunctural developments in the milk production chain, in order to meet Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Sugarcane is one of the most economical alternatives for off-season roughage feeding, which, whenever corrected, can become a feeding solution for animals with average production, even with the managerial difficulties of daily harvesting, regrowth handling, need for extra labor or specialized machinery, need to complete harvest within the same cycle, in addition to the risk of fire in the crop fields, all of which can be corrected. A correction alternative is sugarcane ensiling and nutritional e Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Concentrated feeds play an important role in milk production, both from the nutritional as the economic aspects, especially for animal production. The behavior of corn and soybean meal prices, for instance, have an important weight in the formation of milk production costs and consequently on the profitability of dairy farming. The current agricultural markets have shown a rise in prices of these grain-based brans. Milk production in Minas Gerais appears as one of the most important activities f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
