Plants are very interesting living beings! Unlike animals, plants are extremely plastic in responding to changes in the environment and they can shape their own development! Plants are capable to generate new tissues/organs throughout their entire life cycle. The establishment and development of such tissues/organs depend upon several physiological and molecular processes that go on inside the cells. Our research group is interested in studying the formation of vegetative and reproductive organs as well as how plants shape these organs in response to the environment.

Plant science is experiencing a moment in which the view of plants as passive beings has revealed itself to be only apparent. It is increasingly evident that plants are highly dynamic organisms that actively and competitively forage for limited resources, both above and below ground. They perceive, transmit, process and store information from the environment through the conduction of electrical, hydraulic and chemical signals, constituting an intricate and complex information processing network, which gives them cognitive characteristics typical of intelligent and conscious organisms, such as memory, learning, prediction of the future, cost-benefit analysis for problem solving and self-recognition. Their behavior is as sophisticated as that observed in animals, but its potential importance has been masked by the fact that plants operate on a much slower time scale than animals.

Our research group is interested in understanding how plants develop and how hormones assist them in this complex task. More specifically, we work with plant peptide hormones. A great deal of our efforts and projects has to do with the function and mechanism of action of a family of peptides called RALF (short for Rapid Alkalinization Factor).

Our mission is to produce knowledge through scientific research on taxonomy, systematics, evolution and biogeography of Neotropical mammals, with emphasis on the lineages of the Order Rodentia. This order assemblesseveral species of smal to medium animals, as rats, spiny-rats, guinea-pigs, chinchilas, nutrias, porcupines and others. The sudy of these in such a speciose group, has great importance to the understanding of the diferente levels of biodiversity and its origin in Brazil. Website: https://lamaesalq.weebly.com/
