| The Innovation Network in Animal Reproduction adds skills among the different teams that work in the area of animal breeding biotechnology at Embrapa with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of animal production chains in Brazil. Among the objectives, the following stand out: creation of new technological platforms in this area, transfer of technologies generated by the component projects and consolidation of Embrapa as a reference institution for the formation of public policies related Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Project that aims to generate and disseminate technical information through strategic technology transfer actions for producers and technicians of technical assistance and rural extension (ATER), aiming to strengthen and make the production chain of fish and shrimp culture self-sufficient in the production of young forms of tambaqui, pirarucu and Amazonian shrimp, in the state of Amapá.

| The collared peccary ( Tayassu tajacu) are rustic and gregarious animals who provide meat and leather of excellent quality, being thus an important source of protein especially to the subsistence of the Amazon's needy population. The use of this animal is, however, being done without planned hunting, being thus associated with the destruction of their natural habitat and, consequently, the loss of these resources, which are scarcely known.

| Milk production systems have gone through a process of specialization characterized by increasing the size of the herds, productivity and, notably, by reducing the man: cow relationship. The downsizing of skilled labour in production systems demands the development of precision dairy farming tools that allow the generation of individualized data of animals in a given herd. For that matter, there is a need not only for sensors capable of identifying and generating data on individual animals, but Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Brazil leads the research on reproduction of forage plants, but faces as a challenge the low diversity of pastures, mainly formed by apomictic plants. Apomixia - asexual reproduction by seeds - is an area of biotechnology with great potential to optimize the genetic improvement of these species, as it develops genetic materials and procedures for plant cloning by the direct use of seeds. This project proposes the determination of strategies to regulate the genes associated with the mode of repro Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The Minas Gerais State Network of Biotechnology for Agriculture (RMBA) includes Embrapa Maize & Sorghum (Sete Lagoas), Embrapa Dairy Cattle (Juiz de Fora), Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), Veterinary College of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (EV / UFMG), Minas Gerais Agricultural Research Corporation (EPAMIG) and René Rachou Research Institute (Fiocruz Minas). The strategic objective of RMBA is the technologi ... Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Cattle farming is one of the most important activities of Brazilian agribusiness. Brazil is the world's largest beef exporter, holds the world's largest commercial herd, and is the world's third largest producer and consumer of beef and the world's seventh largest milk producer, with about 4% of the world's total. In spite of its large overall production, Brazilian cattle farming remains low in productivity, indicating a great potential for improvement and expansion of this sector of the economy Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The culture of black pepper ( Piper nigrum L.) is of great socio-economical importance in the northern states of Brazil, Pará especially. However, its production has been suffering the incidence of diseases such as the one caused by the Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) and the Piper yellow mottle virs (PYMoV). Although these viruses have already been reported in many of the Brazilian states, there are too few studies that address the virus diseases which affect this culture. Hence, this project ...

| Livestock is one of the main highlights of Brazilian agribusiness. In recent years, issues related to food safety, energy, and environmental security have been the subject of discussions. In this scenario, the increase in demand for food and at the same time the pressure of society and importing countries for sustainable production systems, which requires a paradigm shift in agricultural production systems. In this context of rapid change, increasing the livestock efficiency is essential to ensu Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| In order to achieve sustainable development from STI (Science, Technology and Innovation), Pará's Innovation System (SIPI) was created, being the state's pillar of CTI. A science and technology park (PCT) in Belém (PCT Guamá) will be set up in one of the structuring actions. This project aims to contribute to SIPI's consolidation, by setting up laboratories in the strategic areas to in order to promote the state's development, with the partnership of the state's two important research institutio ...
