Authors: H.S.F.S Az�ªvedo, F.D Benvindo, L.N. Cavalcante, M. Haverroth, L.H.O. Wadt, T. Campos
Euterpe precatoria, popularly known as “açaí-do-amazonas”, has agronomic, technological and economic potential and has been gaining prominence with the commercialization of its fruits. The production of this açaí-do-amazonas is based on extractivism and management practices have been rec.. Read More»

First cytotoxic, genotoxic, and antigenotoxic assessment of Euterpe oleracea fruit oil (aÃ?§aÃ?Â) in cultured human cells
Authors: E.S. Marques, M.S.F. Tsuboy, J.C.T. Carvalho, P.C.P. Rosa, F.F. Perazzo, I.O.M. Gaiv�£o and E.L. Maistro
Euterpe oleracea Mart., popularly known as “açaí”, is a tropical fruit from the Amazon region where it has considerable economic importance. Açaí has been used as food and for several medicinal purposes. Despite the widespread use of this fruit, there is a lack of data regarding the safe.. Read More»

Transferability of microsatellite markers in Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae), an iconic palm tree from the Brazilian semiarid region
Authors: R.R. Simplicio, D.G. Pereira and A.M. Waldschmidt
The licuri palm Syagrus coronata plays a key role in the ecology and economy of Brazilian semiarid region. Nonetheless, genetic data about populations of this species are absent even though the intensive and uncontrolled exploitation since colonial periods has threatened the sustainability and viability of licuri populations. ..

DNA barcoding based on plastid matK and RNA polymerase for assessing the genetic identity of date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars
Authors: M.R. Enan and A. Ahmed
The cultivated date palm is the most agriculturally important species of the Arecaceae family. The standard chloroplast DNA barcode for land plants recommended by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life plant working group needs to be evaluated for a wide range of plant species. Therefore, we assessed the potential of the matK .. Read More»

Genetic diversity in a germplasm bank of Oenocarpus mapora (Arecaceae)
Authors: E.F. Moura M.S.P. de Oliveira
Oenocarpus mapora is an Amazonian palm species commonly used by native populations for food and in folk medicine. We measured genetic variability, using RAPD markers, of material kept in a germplasm bank composed of accessions sampled from the Brazilian Amazon. These included 74 individuals from 23 accessions sampled from 9 localities in three States of t.. Read More»
