O problema identificado neste projeto é o longo tempo necessário ao desenvolvimento e lançamento de cultivares forrageiras, com baixos ganhos genéticos anuais, fenótipos-alvo complexos e longos ciclos de seleção. Ferramentas de seleção assistida e seleção genômica não são aplicadas na rotina de desenvolvimento de cultivares forrageiras, e poderiam contribuir na redução de ciclos de seleção e no consequente aumento nas taxas de ganho genético de diferentes espécies. Uma análise do cenário atual n ...

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

This project aims at the preventive development of genetic stocks resistant to quarantine organisms (pests and diseases that do not yet exist in Brazil) of high risk for Brazilian agriculture in order to reduce the economic, social and environmental impact of their eventual entry into the country. A program of preventive genetic improvement depends on partnership with research institutions from other countries so that quarantine organisms can be studied safely. This project is based on an establ

The QUALIVEG Project - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Vegetable Genetic Banks aims to map the current conditions of five of the 147 genetic banks of plants of importance for agriculture and food maintained by the Company throughout the National Territory, with the objective of adapting International quality standards.

Embrapa's intention in the long term is to map and adapt all its plant collections to international quality standards, but faced with the impossibilit ...

Herbariums are scientific collections that keep samples of dried plants (exsicatas) from different ecosystems. The information contained in these places are basic sources for taxonomic, floristic, biogeographical, phenological and ecological studies, as well as providing data for the work on biodiversity, medicinal, toxic, fodder, food, among many others. In a simplified way, herbariums can be compared to archives, in which it is possible to collect diverse information about plants, such as habi

The project QUALIANI - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in the collections of animal genetic resources aims to evaluate the current condition of collections of breeds of domestic animals of zootechnical interest maintained by Embrapa in order to adpat them to International quality standards.

Since 1980, the Company has been investing in a program for the conservation of breeds of domestic animals of agricultural interest that are part of the history of Brazil, since many ...

Embrapa invests in the conservation of native strains of microorganisms, which can be used by the scientific community in several research programs, ranging from diagnosis, treatment of diseases and production of vaccines for human and animal application to reducing the environmental impact of Productive processes and the generation of renewable energy. In this perspective, microbial cultures are being continuously studied for the formation of a database of "active" components and their respecti ...

The project QUALIMICRO - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Embrapa's Microbial Collections aims to implement the corporate quality requirements in 21 collections of microorganisms from 18 research units of the Company located in several Brazilian states. The Project will guarantee the quality in the management of these collections and make them able to meet the requirements of the national and international market.

QUALIMICRO lasts four years (until 2020) and continues ...

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 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
