Atividades de Laboratório com PlantStress Biotech INCT
Sequenciamento e integração de transcriptomas de plantas modelo ( Arabdopsis , Setaria ) submetidas à seca e alta temperatura durante os bioensaios.
Validar a função de genes de plantas potencialmente envolvidos nos mecanismos de tolerância à seca em plantas de Arabidopsis , arroz ou sépia por meio de estratégias de superexpressão ou silenciamento.
Gerar PGMs de soja, algodão e milho via estratégias de superexpressão ou silenciamento de genes de plantas e avaliar o fenótipo obtido quanto à tolerância à seca.
Fenotipagem (em estufa ou campo) de populações de milho, soja e algodão resultantes do cruzamento de eventos GM para obter a comprovação do conceito de tolerância à seca e/ou resistência a Spodoptera frugiperda , Helicoverpa armigera ou Meloidogyne spp.
Gerar PGMs de soja, algodão e milho via estratégias de superexpressão ou silenciamento de genes de plantas e avaliar o fenótipo obtido quanto à tolerância à seca.
Organizar, manter e compartilhar um banco in vivo dos ativos de inovação obtidos no projeto compartilhado pelos membros do INCT.
Joaquim AlbenÃsio Gomes da Silveira
LÃder da equipe
Dr. Joaquim works with Plant Physiology, with emphasis on the efficiency of photosynthesis mediated by redox metabolism, photorespiration and N assimilation under conditions of abiotic stress. He holds a Master's degree from CENA and a doctorate from ESALQ/USP. He was a post-doctorate fellow at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Plant Stress at ITQB/Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2014-2015). He was one of the cofounders of the Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology, and was President of the Organizing Committee of the III Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology. He participated in the creation and publication of the Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology (1989), currently named Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology. Dr. Joaquim has published more than 150 scientic articles in international journals. He has trained over 29 doctorate students, 36 master students and has supervised 10 post-doctoral fellows. Nowadays, he is a professor at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) anda a CNPq 1A researcher. He is also the vice-coordinator of the Graduate Program in Biochemistr at UFC and the head of Plant Metabolism Laboratory at the same university.
