Genetically modified crops with insect resistance genes from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt-plants) are increasingly being cultivated worldwide. Therefore, it is critical to improve our knowledge of their direct or indirect impact not only on target pests but also on non-target…

Next generation sequence technologies (NGS) made possible to sequence entirely genomes in a fast way and low cost, from unicellular to complex organisms, like plants and mammals. These sequences can be assembled (i ) using a reference genome or by…

Research, development and technological innovation (RD&I) companies promote inter- and intra-organizational interactions based on the formation of research nets. This arrangement prioritizes the use of competencies of both people and institutions, stimulating the generation of new knowledge and competencies, and…

The objectives of this work were: (i) identified the risk areas of landslides, flooding and sea level rise and social vulnerabilities in different scales of analysis; (ii) analyse the risk perception of people living in this risk areas; (iii) found…

The object of this work was to verify the utility of a level IV fugacity model to simulate the environmental fate of the insecticide carbofuran when employed in the cultivation of irrigated rice. The model simulated the dynamic distribution of…

A literature analysis of 158 papers published in international peer-reviewed journals indexed by the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge from 1994 to 2013 showed that CO2C emission was significantly lower in free water surface (FWS) constructed wetlands (CW) than in…

Considering the importance of the debate on the topic of disasters related to landslides, flooding and technological risks, under international and more recently in Brazil, this work analyzes the situations of vulnerability risk areas on the Northern Coast of São…

The objective of this study was to establish an isolated microspore culture (IMC) protocol in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for use in genetic studies and to evaluate its potential for routine use in the Brazilian Wheat Breeding Program at Embrapa…

The physical and hydraulic properties of soils in the watershed vary temporally and spatially, having a direct relationship with the amount of water that infiltrates, flows and reaches to the river channel, influencing stream flow responses. The knowledge of input…
