Abstract: The eucalyptus snout beetle (ESB), Gonipterus platensis, is endemic to Australia but has become a major invasive, destructive pest of Brazilian eucalyptus plantations. Efforts to develop insecticides based on entomopathogenic fungi against ESB are limited by the lack of known virul...
Resumo: O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a intensidade de carbono do etanol combustível, no âmbito do RenovaBio. O primeiro cenário avaliou aspectos agronômicos de produção, estando dividido em cenário padrão e um cenário otimizado, com redução de 20% na quantidade de ureia apli...
Abstract: Background: Ascorbic acid (AA) is a micronutrient essential for the mechanisms of reproduction, growth, and defense in fish. However, the biosynthesis of this micronutrient does not occur in fish, so it must be supplied with food. A difficulty is that plain AA is uns...
Abstract: Microsporidia are naturally occurring fungal-related parasites that can infect nearly all animal hosts, but their biocontrol potential of insect pests is routinely overlooked in agriculture and forestry. This research brings the first report describing the natural occurrence of a micros...
Abstract: Modelling studies on climate change predict continuous increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] and increase in temperature. This may alter carbon-based phytochemicals such phenolics and modify plant interactions with herbivorous. We investigated the effects of enhanced [CO2]&#...
Abstract: The huge biological diversity of the Brazilian Cerrado is an important source of economically interesting microbial agents. The phylum Actinobacteria plays an important role in nutrient cycling, potentially improving their availability to plants. In this study, we isolated an actinobact...
Este capítulo visa apresentar o relato das atividades de pesquisas realizadas em cooperação internacional que teve como objetivo primordial estruturar o intercâmbio entre pesquisadores e estudantes brasileiros e franceses em torno de temas de pesquisas relacionadas à emergência e evolução da ...
Abstract: Culturing the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, under high glucose concentrations coupled with high aeration results in a fungal developmental shift from hyphal growth to mostly blastospores (yeast-like cells). The underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this shift remain elusive.&...
Abstract: This study aimed to screen halotolerant Bacillus strains able to promote growth and protect tomato plants against salt stress and Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici). We evaluated some halotolerant strains of Bacillus spp. (Bacillus velezensis (AP-3) and Bacillus ...
Abstract: The use of non-destructive methods with less human interference is of great interest in agricultural industry and crop breeding. Modern imaging technologies enable the automatic visualization of multi-parameter for characterization of biological samples, reducing subjectivity and optimizing the&#...
