| This project aims at strengthening bilateral cooperation in Science and Technology between Brazil and China, for the development of the bamboo production chain in the Brazilian territory, through activities stipulated by the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Brazilian and Chinese governments in April 2011, for the purpose to intensifying the sharing of scientific knowledge and technologies between Brazilian and Chinese research institutions and the exchange of technological information w Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The growing demand for a sustainable energy matrix and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels make the energy obtained from biomass a prominent option. The major uses of biomass as energetic input are the production of thermal energy (direct combustion, charcoal and residues), production of mechanic energy (alcohol and bio-oils), production of electricity (through combustion, gasification or gas burning), and production of other components of the so called green chemistry (bioproducts and Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Yuca is a highlighted culture for the state of Pará, not only for its importance in the state's cuisine, but also for representing a source of income for thousands of agriculture producers. The culture can also give support to the state's agro-industry, by means of supplying raw materials used in the fabrication of many products. In order to be incremented in the state of Pará, the yuca culture needs to go through a genetic improvement program, in the hopes of obtaining material which is more ad ...

| 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 |
| Genetic Vegetable resources, globally, involve a number of around 300,000 identified species, of which 30,000 are edible and only 30 consist of foods that feed the world's population. However, from this total, only three species provide 50% of proteins necessary in a regular diet (rice, wheat and corn). This situation has been stimulating a great number of researchers in the quest to increase the number of species dedicated to feed the population. Brazil is considered the world's greatest source Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Germplasm banks have as their main purpose to get together in one place part of the genetic variability (germplasm), in order to prevent the loss of genes or gene combinations (genetic erosion), thus ensuring a broad genetic basis for research programs. Germplasm banks are usually made up of local races (ethnovarieties), improved varieties and wild species of the same genus. And because they bring together genetic constitutions of different origins and different breeding levels, they can be grea Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 ...
