Botânica em tempos de crise: do ensino remoto à produção de fármacos

Abstract

This book of abstracts comes from the presentations of approved papers submitted to the 37th Northeastern Botany Meeting, which took place between November 8 and 11, 2021. The event, which has been taking place since 1977, was conceived by the Board of the Northeast Region of the Botanical Society of Brazil, being hosted by the State University of Piauí, Campus Heróis do Jenipapo, and took place remotely. A total of 166 simple abstracts were evaluated, corrected and approved by the evaluators, distributed in 15 thematic areas: Reproductive Biology; Biochemistry, Phytochemistry and Chemosystematics; Structural Botany; Botanical Collections; Plant Ecology; Teaching of Botany; Ethnobotany; Plant Physiology; Floristics, Phytosociology and Phytogeography; Genetics and Molecular Biology of Plants, Algae and Fungi; Palynology and Paleobotany; Systematics of Angiosperms; Systematics of Bryophytes; Systematics of Lycophytes and Monilophytes. The event also featured lectures, mini-courses and round tables, given by researchers from different locations in Brazil and different research groups. Due to the remote format, the meeting was not limited to the work of the Northeast region, but also included different HEIs. May this book contribute to the strengthening of Brazilian education and scientific research.
