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 ...

Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae), a new record for the flora of Colombia: distribution modeling and conservation assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...

Social, Technological, Economic, and Policy Factors in the Circular Economy Transition in Brazil

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 4683-4703, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A well‐functioning circular economy (CE) integrates resilience across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This study identifies key drivers and barriers to Brazil's CE transition through 20 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders. Major sociocultural barriers include inadequate education and limited CE awareness, while growing

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...

Evaluation of in vitro Bioaccessibility of Copper, Iron and Manganese in Amazonian Fruits

Revista Virtual de Química, 2017
The bioaccessibility of Cu, Fe and Mn in Amazonian fruits (acai, white acai, bacuri and tucuma) was evaluated in this study using in vitro methods. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was used for total metal quantification, and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS) was used to quantify the metals in the simulated gastric ...

Carotenoids From Amazonian Fruits as Functional Pigments in Active and Intelligent Food Packaging: Materials, Stability, and Technological Performance

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Amazonian fruits represent an underexplored source of carotenoids with high technological, functional, and economic potential for applications in food packaging. In recent years, active and intelligent packaging systems based on biopolymers and natural pigments have emerged as effective strategies for extending shelf life, monitoring food ...
