The detection of metal ions in plant tissues is an analytical problem of biological relevance with an impact on plant production. These ions are present in the tissues of plants, and insufficient or excessive values can lead to toxicity and change in their physiology. One of the analytical strategies for the determination of metallic ions in tissues is the use of electrochemical biosensors, which allow quick, selective and sensitive responses. This project aims at the construction of a biosensor

Brazil is now a world reference in the area of ​​animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.

This project, which is part of the Innovation Network in Animal Reproduction, aims to evaluate the importance of different ...

In recent years, there has been a tremendous advance in the frontier of knowledge in advanced biology. The impacts of this advance can be observed in the areas of molecular and cellular biology, with the mastery of gene engineering techniques, which led to the cloning of animal cells in the early 2000s, unprecedented in Brazil, and more recently to the emergence of new Areas of science, such as nanotechnology, epigenetics and genomics, among others. The project seeks to incorporate these advance

The Traditional Agricultural Systems (SATs) are part of Brazil's intangible cultural heritage andconstitute the essence of the lifestyles of numerous rural communities, including familyfarmers, agroextractivists, artisanal fishermen, indigenous peoples, and traditionalcommunities. SATs interconnect knowledge, myths, forms of social organization, practices,products, techniques, and artifacts, along with other manifestations associated with the use ofsociobiodiversity products, forming cultura

Brazil has several breeds of domestic animals that have been developed from breeds brought by Portuguese colonists at the time of discovery. Over the centuries, these breeds have been subjected to natural selection in environments in which they live to the point of presenting specific characteristics to adapt to these conditions. They are known as “creole", "local" or "naturalized".


Currently, many of these breeds are endangered of extinction because over the centuries, they have

Agribusiness is one of the pillars of the Brazilian economy and a considerable part of the trade surplus achieved in recent years is due to exports of agricultural products . The product list is quite long , but some species are characterized by high demand and high production , such as soybeans , coffee and cane sugar.

The high output is due largely to the use of superior genotypes resulting from genetic improvement . Genetic improvement is an activity that must be performed continuous ...
