< Back Genetic engineering can have a positive effect on the climate Agriculture accounts for around 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. A large share of these emissions is due to livestock production and fertilizer use. However, more than one-third of agriculture's emissions is caused by land-use change, especially the conversion of forests and other nature reserves to agricultural land in order to satisfy the rising global demand for food and feed. "Using better technologies to increase crop yields on the land already cultivated could reduce this land-use change and the associated emissions," says study author Prof. Dr. Matin Qaim, Director of the Center for Development Research at the University of Bonn. Certain types of genetically modified crops -- such as GM maize and soybean -- are widely grown in other parts of the world, but hardly in Europe. "The main reasons are public acceptance issues and political hurdles," says Qaim. In the new study, he and his colleagues from the Breakthrough Institute used global agricultural data and estimates of the yield effects of GM crops to model how increased technology adoption in the EU would affect production, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions. The estimates suggest that more widespread use of genetically modified crops in the EU could prevent the release of 33 million tons of CO2 equivalents, which corresponds to 7.5 percent of the EU's total annual greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Higher yields in the EU would have a global effect "Most of these positive climate effects are attributable to reduced land-use change," says Dr. Emma Kovak from the Breakthrough Institute, the study's first author. The conclusion of the research team: "The EU imports a lot of maize and soybean from Brazil, where the expansion of agricultural land contributes to tropical deforestation. Higher yields in the EU could reduce some of these imports and thus help preserve the Amazon rainforest." The authors stress that in their analysis they only look at already-existing genetically modified crops. "New genomic breeding technologies are currently being used to develop a wide range of new crop applications that could lead to additional climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits in the future," says Matin Qaim.

< Back Pesquisa do INCT PlantStress Biotech é destaque em encontro estudantil A pesquisa realizada no INCT PlantStress Biotech foi destaque durante o XXVII Encontro do Talento Estudantil, ocorrido na Embrapa Recursos Genéticos e Biotecnologia (Cenargen), em Brasília, entre 28 e 30 de agosto. Sara Vitorino da Rocha Lemes e Bruna Medeiros Pereira receberam a premiação de melhor trabalho na categoria Biotecnologia, em nível de graduação e pós-graduação, respectivamente. Sara Rocha é estudante de graduação em Biotecnologia na Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e bolsista de Iniciação Científica do programa PIBIC/CNPq/Embrapa, sob orientação das pesquisadoras Carolina Morgante e Fatima Grossi de Sá. Em seu trabalho, “Plantas de algodão geneticamente modificadas com redução da suscetibilidade a nematoides formadores de galhas e à seca”, Sara apresentou a estratégia combinada de superexpressão de um gene de tolerância à seca e de silenciamento de um gene vital do nematoide Meloidogyne incognita , usando a tecnologia do RNA interferente, para a obtenção de plantas menos suscetíveis a esses dois estresses, simultaneamente. Já Bruna Medeiros, mestre em Agronomia pela UnB e bolsista DTI-B/CNPq na Embrapa Cenargen, apresentou o trabalho “Uma abordagem trans-espécies para validação funcional in root e seleção de genes candidatos para resistência a fitopatógenos em leguminosas”. Sob orientação das pesquisadoras Ana Brasileiro e Patrícia Guimarães, Bruna destacou os resultados promissores de um sistema para rápida validação funcional de genes de resistência em raízes de soja, amendoim, grão de bico, feijão comum, feijão caupi, guandu e alfafa. Mais detalhes sobre esta pesquisa podem ser acessados nas recentes publicações nos periódicos PlosOne e Planta e na patente depositada pela equipe. As bolsistas Bruna Medeiros e Luanna Pinheiro recebendo a premiação de membros da comissão organizadora. Neste mesmo evento, receberam menção honrosa as estudantes Nayara Sabrina de Freitas Alves, doutoranda na Universidade Federal do Paraná, pelo trabalho “Modulação transcricional e traducional via CRISPR-Cas visando a tolerância da soja à nematoides de galhas” e Luanna Pinheiro A. F. Bezerra, doutoranda na Universidade Católica de Brasília, pelo trabalho “Plantas de soja tolerantes ao déficit hídrico por meio da modulação da via de controle de morte celular programada induzida por estresses utilizando CRISPR/dCas9”. As duas estudantes são orientadas pela pesquisadora Dra. Maria Fátima Grossi de Sá. O XXVII Encontro do Talento Estudantil contou com 150 participantes inscritos, entre estudantes de graduação, pós-graduação e pós-doutores. Teve como objetivos a divulgação dos trabalhos realizados na Embrapa Cenargen nas áreas temáticas de Biotecnologia; Controle Biológico, Quarentena e Recursos Genéticos e o incentivo científico a jovens estudantes e bolsistas.

Goals In order to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of INCT activities, it was subdivided into 10 specific objectives. Each objective will be developed by a group of institutions with expertise in component activities. The innovation actives coming from each objective will be analyzed for their patent potential and applied directly to the development of biotechnological products or stored in a bank of biotechnological actives of the Institute. The transfer of technology generated and the dissemination of the results obtained will be carried out throughout the duration of the project. 01 Prospecting of new genes and molecules involved in drought tolerance and pest resistance In-plant prospection of genes/molecules for drought tolerance. Prospecting of genes/molecules for resistance to insect-pests. Prospecting of genes/molecules for resistance to phytonematode. 02 Integration of in silico data related to molecules responsive to biotic and/or abiotic stresses and interspecies Cross species. Cross stress (abiotic X abiotic). Cross stress (abiotic X biotic). Cross stress (biotic X biotic). 03 Prospecting new regulatory sequences and epigenetic regulators responsive to environmental stresses 04 Validation of innovation actives in plant-model Validation of innovation actives for drought tolerance.

About us In the present scenario, important crops naturally present low levels of drought tolerance and resistance to insect pests and nematodes. In this context, the complex mechanisms of response associated with environmental stresses (abiotic and biotic), and the small number of characterized and introgressed genes have been reported. Therefore, the search for new genes and molecules involved in tolerance or resistance to insect pests or drought stress is imperative. ​ Hence, “INCT - Biotechnology applied to plant stresses” proposes the integration of several Brazilian research groups and international partners experts in plant physiology, transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and functional genomics. The integrated research group aims to develop a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional network with national and international excellence to generate biotechnological assets applied to maize, soybean, and cotton. This project includes prospection, isolation, characterization, and functional validation of genes and molecules involved in resistance against pests (Meloidogyne spp., Helicoverpa armigera, and Spodoptera frugiperda) and water deficit tolerance. The generated assets will be applied in the development of biotechnology products, such as bio-insecticides and genetically modified soybean, maize and cotton plants. ​ Furthermore, INCT research groups will not spare efforts to promote the qualification of students and professionals from different research areas, including biotechnology, genomics, and bioinformatics, either in Brazil or abroad. ​ In the future, the INCT network can be used not only for the generation of biotechnological assets applied to drought stress and pests’ control in soybean, cotton and maize but also to other agronomic important traits (seed and fruit quality, nutrition value increase, and others) and important crops for the Brazilian agribusiness.
