“…UNICAMP stands out as the institution with the highest number of connections (45), greater centrality of intermediation and greater centrality of the eigenvector type, assuming the role of the holder that most builds partnerships among Brazilian institutions. UNICAMP was previously cited as the second largest requester of medicinal plants, specifically the use of andiroba, only behind Fiocruz (Amaral and Fierro, 2013).…”

Purpose -The establishment of partnerships between companies, government and universities aims to enhance innovation and the technological development of institutions. The biotechnology sector has grown in recent years mainly driven by its cooperative business model. Compared to other countries, this sector is slowly advancing in Brazil, with delays in science, technology and innovation, especially in the private sector. This paper aims to examine, through social network analysis, the collaborative networks between institutions that filed patents in biotechnologymedicinal preparations from plantswhose inventions had Brazil as the priority country.Design/methodology/approach -The study of technological cooperation using patent documents is a reliable approach as they serve as good indicators of the interactions between organizations that focus on innovation and development of new product. Social network analysis of cooperation networks helps to understand the connections between patent assignees, and how they establish relationships.Findings -Results show that public universities are the institutions that most deposit patents, as well as those that co-operate the most, especially Universidade of Campinas. The study also reveals the critical role of Research Support Agencies in stimulating research and technological development, which result in new technologies.Originality/value -The study applied the social network analysis to provide an overview of the interactions among Brazilian institutions with the purpose of helping in decision-making and inciting public policies to leverage the biotechnology sector.

“…Brazilian Ministry of environment included Carapa guianensis as a priority species for sustainable development [9]. It is also listed in the National List of Medicinal Plants of Interest by the Ministry of Health [3].Carapa guianensis has very large seeds with 25 g to 32 g in average [28] [18]. Germination is hypogeal, initial growth in height is fast and first leaves are developed with a stem height of about 40 cm [17].…”

Carapa guianensis Aubl., known as andiroba, is a multipurpose tree from the Amazon. Planted under environmental conditions, there is still no conclusive data on the light preferences of this species. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate growth and physio- logical variables at four shading levels (0%, 30%, 50% and 70%). In the first observation period (≤ 15 months), the relative chlorophyll content (SPAD index) indicated more efficient carbon gain by photosynthesis under shade conditions. Gas exchange measurements (20 months) allowed to conclude that the conditions of exposure to the sun caused photoinhibition. Dry matter evaluation (24 months) confirmed: 50% shade resulted in the greatest increase in dry matter for all plant parts (leaves, stems and roots). This study indicates that this species can give a greater return in relation to biomass under shading conditions, such as in secondary forest enrichment or agroforestry systems, at least in the initial phase of establishment.
