Laboratory of Genomics and Transcriptomes in Plants

The Laboratory of Genomics and Transcriptomes in Plants (GeTransPlant) is a laboratory in Plant Genomics and Molecular Biology that studies the genomic basis of plant metabolism, gene expression responses to abiotic stresses, and the molecular evolution of genes and genomes. We analyze genes related to the biosynthesis of carbohydrates and terpenes, non-coding RNAs, and transposable elements. We study plant species relevant to Brazilian Agriculture and/or Biodiversity, with national and international collaborators. The knowledge we generate has direct application in plant breeding and biotechnology.
