1. In Silico Target Identification and Validation for Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Selective Phytochemicals.
Abstract Phytochemicals present in plant extract include a number of biological active compounds which have shown promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in many animal studies. Present knowledge about the biochemical interactions of these compounds present in phytochemical extracts and target enzymes or proteins responsible for antioxidant an

2. Pre-Columbian human occupation of Amazonia and its influence on current landscapes and biodiversity
Abstract: There is growing evidence that pre-Columbian humans had strong impacts on soils, plant and animal communities and ecosystem functioning in many parts of Amazonia, and that the legacies of these impacts still affect biodiversity and how ecosystems function today. Understanding the history of human/environment interactions in Amazonia is essential fo

3. The role of condensed tannins in ruminant animal production: advances, limitations and future directions
ABSTRACT Tannins represent one of the most abundant polyphenolic compounds in plants. Tannins exist as a multitude of chemically unique entities in nature. The most commonly occurring tannins are typically divided into two major classes based on chemical structure: hydrolysable (HT) or condensed tannins (CT). Hydrolysable tannins are esters of gallic or ella

4. Evolution of seed dispersal in the Cerrado biome: ecological and phylogenetic considerations
ABSTRACT The investigation of the phylogeny of a group of organisms has the potential to identify ecological and evolutionary processes that have been occurring within a community. Seed dispersal is a key process in the life cycle of vegetation and reflects different reproductive strategies of plants to a set of ecological and evolutionary factors. Knowing t

5. Variation in plant-animal interactions along an elevational gradient of moist forest in a semiarid area of Brazil
Pollination and dispersal are critical ecological processes that directly affect the reproductive success of plants and are important for understanding the structure of plant communities. We compiled data on pollination and dispersal syndromes of 406 plant species distributed among different elevations in Área de Proteção Ambiental da Serra de Baturité (

6. Exploring interactions of plant microbiomes
A plethora of microbial cells is present in every gram of soil, and microbes are found extensively in plant and animal tissues. The mechanisms governed by microorganisms in the regulation of physiological processes of their hosts have been extensively studied in the light of recent findings on microbiomes. In plants, the components of these microbiomes may f

7. Evolução e ecologia de tricomas em Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): estruturas morfológicas de defesa anti-herbivoria? / Evolution and ecology of trichomes in Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): morphological structures of anti-herbivory defense?
This thesis focused on the evolutionary-ecology of trichomes in the tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae), and in the potential defensive role of these structures against herbivores. More specifically, we characterized four trichome morphotypes found in vegetative plant parts of representatives of the Bignonieae, as well as studied the macro-evolutionary patterns

8. Spatial variability of forage yield and soil physical attributes of a Brachiaria decumbens pasture in the Brazilian Cerrado
The objective of this study was to analyze variability, linear and spatial correlations of forage dry mass yield (FDM) and dry matter percentage (DM%) of Brachiaria decumbens with the bulk density (BD), gravimetric (GM) and volumetric (VM) moisture, mechanical resistance to penetration (RP) and organic matter content (OM), at depths 1 (0-0.10 m) and 2 (0.10-

9. Interações ecológicas em Malpighiaceae no cerrado: compartilhamento de guildas de herbívoros e variações nos resultados da interação formiga-planta / Ecological interactions in Malpighiaceae in the Cerrado: sharing of guilds from herbivores and variations in the results of ant-plant interaction
Ecological interactions represent essential tools for a better understanding of natural communities, having in animal-plant relationships important models for study. For that, become needful phenological analyses of plants, capable of demonstrating the flowering strategies and with it the ways of temporal organization of resources available for herbivores. T

10. Fontes de fósforo na produção e composição bromatológica de cultivares de milheto forrageiro / Phosphorus sources in production and chemical composition of the peral millet forage
The dry matter yield and quality aspects of forage millet are still poorly understood, as well as specific information handled by this grass and nitrogen fertilization. Experiment was conducted to evaluate the productive potential and chemical composition of the dry mass of three cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Brown) (ADR-7010, ADR- 50

11. História natural e interação flores-besouros em espécies de Cerrado / Natural history and flower-beetle interactions in Cerrado species
Plant-animal interactions, such as pollination, are a key element in many terrestrial communities. The study of who interacts with whom is an important approach for understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. In some tropical communities, up to one quarter of all plant species may be pollinated by beetles. They are an ancient and much diversified in

12. Polyketide biosynthetic gene bioprospection in metagenomic DNA from Atlantic Forest soil. / Bioprospecção de genes biossintéticos de policetídeos em DNA metagenômico de solo de Mata Atlântica.
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is considered as one of the most important reservoir of biodiversity in the planet. This biome is extremely important for its richness of plant and animal species but although with their composition and interactions poorly known and unexplored from a microbiological perspective. One gram of soil can contain near 10 billion micro
