Authors: J.C. Cabral, A.B. Baldoni, H. Tonini, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.D. Giustina, A.V. Tiago and A.A.B. Rossi

The present study was carried out in a native Brazil nut tree population (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Lecythidaceae) to assess its genetic diversity and structure. Ten microsatellite markers were used to genotype 198 adult trees (B. excelsa). The population presented high genetic diversity and inbreeding absence rates. The em.. Read More»

Morphological and molecular characteristics do not confirm popular classification of the Brazil nut tree in Acre, Brazil

Authors: P.S. Sujii, E.T.M.B. Fernandes, V.C.R. Azevedo, A.Y. Ciampi, K. Martins and L.H. de O. Wadt

In the State of Acre, the Brazil nut tree, Bertholletia excelsa (Lecythidaceae), is classified by the local population into two types according to morphological characteristics, including color and quality of wood, shape of the trunk and crown, and fruit production. We examined the reliability of this classification by comparing morphological and molecula.. Read More»
