This platform uses modern bioinformatics and computational tools to interrogate omics data from a wide variety of sources to identify novel genes, pathways, and microbes to develop biotechnologies to face a threat imposed by climate changes.

The GCCRC science is especially interested in the genomes and microbiomes of plants growing in biodiverse ecosystems exposed to severe water deficit and acidic and nutrient-poor soils.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Robust state of the art tools is used to unravel new cellular, molecular, and metabolic mechanisms associated with drought and high temperature stress response and nutrient acquisition. Proof of concepts for genes and microbes are obtained in maize as a model plant using molecular tools, including transformation and genome editing. Modern plant physiology phenotyping helps characterize plant response to stress, and the technologies are then incorporated in elite maize germplasm to scale field trials and robust proof of concept.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1575394482339{padding-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][info_banner module_animation=”transition.slideUpIn” image=”50″ img_width=”380″ img_height=”333″ style=”style-10″ title=”Campos Rupestres Microbiome” title_font_options=”tag:div|font_size:20″ subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”][/info_banner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][info_banner module_animation=”transition.slideUpIn” image=”48″ img_width=”380″ img_height=”333″ style=”style-10″ title=”Campos Rupestres Genomics” title_font_options=”tag:div|font_size:20″ subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”][/info_banner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][info_banner module_animation=”transition.slideUpIn” image=”46″ img_width=”380″ img_height=”333″ style=”style-10″ title=”Mithocondrial Metabolism” title_font_options=”tag:div|font_size:20″ subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”][/info_banner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1580470364898{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column][dfd_heading module_animation=”transition.swoopIn” content_alignment=”text-left” delimiter_settings=”border-bottom-style:solid;|border-bottom-width:150px;|width:70px;|border-bottom-color:#e7942a;” style=”style_07″ title_font_options=”tag:h5|font_size:60|color:%23e7942a|line_height:60″ subtitle_font_options=”tag:h3|font_size:20|color:%23eab979|font_style_bold:1″]GCCRC BIOTECHNOLOGY PIPELINE[/dfd_heading][vc_single_image image=”676″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578575056037{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-right: 15% !important;margin-left: 15% !important;}”]
