Global Climate Change and the Production of Pequi Fruits (Caryocar brasiliense) in the Brazilian Cerrado

Natureza & Conservação, 2011
Several recent studies have predicted decreased environmental suitability for species in future scenarios of climate change, which will affect the economy of many municipalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of global climate change on environmental suitability for “Pequi” tree (Caryocar brasiliense; an economically important ...

Synchronizing coffee blossoming and fruit ripening in irrigated crops of the Brazilian Cerrado Mineiro Region

Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2020
Non-uniform blossoming due to deficit irrigation is common in perennial crops such as coffee. It usually leads to uneven ripening of fruits and impairs harvesting efficiency and quality of coffee. The effect of different water deficit periods was evaluated on development stage of flower bud at blossoming stages in coffee plantations.

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Fruits of the Brazilian Cerrado are a potential alternative for food tourism and regional development

Brazilian Journal of Food Technology
Abstract The Cerrado biome has tremendous social, heritage, and income-generating importance for traditional communities from this Brazilian region. Although the exotic fruits of Brazilian Cerrado are a subsistence source for communities that cultivate them and contribute to regional tourism promotion, they are not systematically studied.

Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (Bactris setosa Mart.) Consumption Promoted a Healthier Expansion of Adipose Tissue in High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity Rats

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (Bactris setosa Mart.) is a polyphenol‐rich Brazilian fruit known to improve glucose metabolism. This study investigated its effects on brown (BAT), inguinal (iWAT), and epididymal (eWAT) adipose tissues in a diet‐induced obesity model. Rats received control (CT/TUC‐), high‐fat (HF/TUC‐), control with Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (CT/TUC+)

Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1104-1115, July 2026.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.
