Tissue Culture Techniques for Native Amazonian Fruit Trees
, 2012 In recent decades, the production of native fruits of the Amazon showed significant growth, mainly due to expansion of area for fruit production. It is noteworthy that this activity has had little impact on native vegetation, since most of the orchards were planted in areas previously occupied by other crops for market problems or environmental issues ...

Aerial Identification of Fruit Maturity in Amazonian Palms via Plant-Canopy Modeling
Remote Sensing, 2023 UAV-based multispectral imagery was used to characterize and associate the canopy features of the Moriche palm with the maturity state of its fruits, by correlating variations in the palm’s reflectance at different wavelengths throughout the phenological

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Potential losses of animal-dispersed trees due to selective logging in Amazonian forest concessions
Trees, Forests and People, 2022 Fruits and seeds are key food resources for most Amazonian mammals and birds. Selective logging is an increasingly dominant land use in the region that can deplete these resources over large areas.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Use of amazonian fruits in dental bleaching
OBSERVATÓRIO DE LA ECONOMÍA LATINOAMERICANANatural products stand out for their chemical diversity, thus plants are important candidates for screening new bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the effect of plant extracts combined with 16% carbamide peroxide (PC16%) on tooth whitening. Bovine teeth and composite resin blocks were randomly assigned to pigmentation and whitening protocols ...
