Seminário de Tema Livre: Filogeografia: aplicações na Fitopatologia

Doutorando: Athus Diego Azevedo Silva. Orientador: Olinto Liparini Pereira. (5 de junho de 2018, às 17:00 horas). A Filogeografia é o estudo dos princípios e processos que determinam a distribuição geográfica de linhagens genealógicas, lidando assim não apenas com relações filogenéticas, mas com componentes históricos responsáveis pela distribuição espacial das […]

Seminário de Tema Livre: Optical sensors and platforms in field disease detection and monitoring

Doutorando: Rodrigo Galvão de Freitas. Orientador: Acelino Couto Alfenas. (15/05/2018, às 17:00 horas). Plant disease cause economically important loss of yield and quality of agricultural production worldwide, thus affecting food safety and security. The use of innovative technologies summarized as “Precision Agriculture” is a promising approach to optimize agricultural production […]

Seminário Especial: Phylogenomics and genome-enabled molecular diagnostics for blast diseases

Prelecionista: Prof. Mark Farman. Department of Plant Pathology, Healthcare Genomics Center, University of Kentucky. (15/05/2018, às 16:00 horas). Genome sequencing has transformed the field of phylogenetics to provide unprecedented insights into organismal evolution. This is especially so in the case of the fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae (syn. Pyricularia oryzae) – a serious pathogen […]

Seminário Especial: Xanthomonas perforans, causal agent of bacterial spot of tomato: A moving target

Prelecionista: Prof. Jeffrey B. Jones. University of Florida, Department of Plant Pathology. (08/04/2018, às 16:00 horas). Bacterial spot disease of pepper and tomato is caused by four distinct Xanthomonas species (X. euvesicatoria, X. gardneri, X. perforans, and X. vesicatoria) and causes significant defoliation and yield losses in both crops. In Florida, X. […]

Seminar: The Walking-dead: Formigas zumbis e os fungos que as manipulam

Speaker: João Araújo (28/11/2017, às 16:00 horas), Pennsylvania State University. Myrmecophilous Ophiocordyceps – including the so-called zombie-ant fungi – comprise one of the most intriguing and fascinating relationships between microbes and animals. They are widespread within tropical forests worldwide, with relatively few reports from temperate ecosystems. Most of these […]

Defense Seminar: Taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of Cladosporiaceae and Botryosphaeriales associated with different crops in Brazil

André Wilson Campos Rosado (28/11/2017, 17:00 h).  Currently, the modern taxonomy of fungi is based on the combination of morphology and molecular analyses. Although this polyphasic approach is increasingly used, many diseases caused by Cladosporiaceae and Botryosphaeriales have the identity of the causal agent still uncertain. Studies, based on molecular […]
