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 ...

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 ...

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 thei ...

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 ...

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
