Diversity of Secondary Metabolites of Araucaria Seed (Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze) Residues

Ensaios e Ciência C Biológicas Agrárias e da Saúde, 2022
A semente da Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze é conhecida como pinhão e é considerada um alimento de alto valor nutricional. No consumo do pinhão, seu tegumento é descartado, gerando um resíduo que apresenta um processo lento de decomposição. Esse material é composto por três camadas de tecido: camada interna (endotesta), camada intermediária ...

Central action of Araucaria angustifolia seed lectin in mice [PDF]

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2009
Possible central nervous system effects of the gymnosperm lectin from Araucaria angustifolia seeds were studied in seizure and open field tests. Male Swiss mice were administered saline (control), lectin (0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg), flumazenil (1 mg/kg), or diazepam (1 mg/kg) intraperitoneally.

Overlooked Parrot Seed Dispersal in Australia and South America: Insights on the Evolution of Dispersal Syndromes and Seed Size in Araucaria Trees

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
While Psittaciformes (parrots and allies) are well-recognized as highly-mobile seed predators, their role as seed dispersers has been overlooked until very recently.

Markedly Divergent Tree Assemblage Responses to Tropical Forest Loss and Fragmentation across a Strong Seasonality Gradient [PDF]

, 2015
We examine the effects of forest fragmentation on the structure and composition of tree assemblages within three seasonal and aseasonal forest types of southern Brazil, including evergreen, Araucaria, and deciduous forests.

CONSERVATION OF THE VIABILITY AND VIGOR OF Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Kuntze SEEDS DURING THE STORAGE

Ciência Florestal, 2014
The conservation of Araucaria seeds is widely compromised in function of their recalcitrant feature, which hampers the planning of recovery actions of the degraded populations.
