Pesquisadores envolvidos:
Ana Flávia Francisconi

Dra. Maria Imaculada Zucchi (Orientadora - APTA/IAC)

RESEARCH AREAS

The focus of the scientific projects developed by the group is in the areas of population genetics and population genomics, which are aimed at the conservation of native species in Brazil and the support of agricultural cultures. Currently, most of the group's researchers develop works with native species of palm trees. In addition, the group also has researchers working on research with cacti, orchids, peppers, native stingless bees and the soybug bug complex.
