A proposição do projeto das Trilhas de Matemática pode ser considerada como uma proposta pedagógica em que os professores utilizam práticas extraescolares para que os alunos possam perceber o conhecimento matemático aplicado em tarefas realizadas fora das salas de aula, em pontos específicos nas ruas de sua cidade. Assim, existe a necessidade do desenvolvimento de módulos de atividades matemáticas extracurricul...
Secondary metabolic pathways in grape berries are tightly regulated by an array of molecular mechanisms, including microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation. As recently discovered, before being processed into mature microRNAs (miRNAs), the primary transcripts of miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) can encode for small miRNA-encoded peptides (micropeptides miPEPs) that ultimately lead to an accentuated downregulation o...
