Hybridization in palms (Arecaceae)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Across the plant Tree of Life, hybridization has contributed to the formation of species complexes and biased our understanding of taxonomic diversity and phylogenetic relationship, palms included. To increase understanding, we explore hybridization in palms and test for ecological correlates of hybridization. We reveal that hybridization is not evenly

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 885-901, July 2024.Palms provide vital plant resources and ecosystem services to people across the tropics. To improve conservation guidance, a “health check” of palms in two highly threatened biodiversity hotspots in Colombia and Ecuador was undertaken. Palms are very diverse in these regions, but over one third are threatened with extinction now, especially among ...

Tillers induction in Bactris gasipaes var. gasipaes seedlings
, 2014 A pupunheira é uma palmeira produtora de palmito com capacidade de perfilhamento, o que torna a cultura perene, sendo uma alternativa ao extrativismo ilegal de palmito nativo. Tendo em vista a importância e escassez de estudos sobre a propagação vegetativa dessa espécie e que o aumento do número de perfilhos é pré-requisito chave nessa metodologia, o ...
