Myrcia ovata Cambess. (Myrtaceae) is a medicinal and aromatic plant that has analgesic, bactericidal and fungicidal properties. Even though this plant has economic potential, nothing is known about the variability and genetic diversity of this species. This information is necessary to establish conservation strategies and allo.. Read More»

Myrciaria dubia, an Amazonian fruit: population structure and its implications for germplasm conservation and genetic improvement
Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»

Effect of forest fragmentation on microsporogenesis and pollen viability in Eugenia uniflora, a tree native to the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Effect of forest fragmentation on microsporogenesis and pollen viability in Eugenia uniflora, a tree native to the Atlantic Forest
Habitat fragmentation, caused by the expansion of agriculture in natural areas, may be one of the strongest impacts humans have on the ecosystem. These changes can decrease the number of individuals in a population, leading to endogamy. In allogamous species, endogamy can have a negative effect on reproductive capacity. In this study, we analyzed the effe.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic diversity in a natural population of cambui tree (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) using ISSR markers
Authors: J.G.S. Santana, A.L.S. Nascimento, T.S. Costa, T.M.B. de Almeida, A.R.C. Rabbani and A.V.C. Silva
Cambui (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) is a native species from Brazil, which belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Molecular characterization is one of the most used tools for the study of the biotechnological potential of species because the diversity level between individuals can be inferred. Analysis of genetic diversity is fundame.. Read More»

Environmental variations drive polyploid evolution in neotropical Eugenia species (Myrtaceae)
Authors: R.M. Silveira, R.M. Machado, E.R. Forni-Martins, C.F. Verola and I.R. Costa
Polyploidy is one of the most important mechanisms of speciation and diversification in plant evolution. Polyploidy results in genetic variation among individuals of the same species and even between populations, and may be responsible for differences in environmental tolerance between populations of the same species. This stu.. Read More»
