The book "Family Farming and Food Systems: Carbon Removal and Just Transition", organized by CONTAG in collaboration with the Climate Observatory, discusses the challenges and opportunities of family farming in the context of the global climate crisis. The publication highlights the...

Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps. The need to understand how and why wood density varies is especially critical in tropical...

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar os sinais químicos (feromônios) e estridulatórios (sons) produzidos por fêmeas e machos da espécie. Foram realizadas coletas de voláteis a partir de aerações dos adultos (N=100 a 120 por sexo), sendo as amostras analisadas por CG-DIC e CG-EM.

Background: Machine learning is used to analyze images by training algorithms on data to recognize patterns and identify objects, with applications in various fields, such as medicine, security, and automation. Meanwhile, histological cross-sections, whether longitudinal or transverse, expose layers o...

Integrating foreign genes into loci, allowing their transcription without affecting endogenous gene expression, is the desirable strategy in genomic engineering. However, these loci, known as genomic safe harbors (GSHs), have been mainly identified by empirical methods. Furthermore, the most prominent...

The species Psidium guajava L., commonly known as guava, is distinguished in the genus Psidium for its economic importance and medicinal properties. This study aimed to assess the population structures in 247 guava genotypes, which were organized into 11 full-sib families (FSF), and...

This study proposes using the CRISPR transcriptional activation strategy to modulate the expression of genes encoding defense proteins and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in Phaseolus vulgaris. Three genes (PvD1, Pv-thionin, and Pv-lectin) were selected and targeted by the CRISPR–dCas9–TV-mediated transcript...

To improve the quality of in vitro produced (IVP) embryos and reduce pregnancy losses, we proposed to reduce the components of the synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) medium by 0% (SOF100), 50% (SOF50), and 75% (SOF25). First, embryos produced under these three treatments were evaluated&...
