Chemical Composition and Glycemic Index of Brazilian Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) Seeds

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004
The seeds of Parana pine (Araucaria brasiliensis syn. Araucaria angustifolia), named pinhão, are consumed after cooking and posterior dehulling, or they are used to prepare a flour employed in regional dishes. Native people that live in the South of Brazil usually consume baked pinhão. As a result of cooking, the white seeds become brown on the surface

Genetic Conservation of Brazilian Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) Through Traditional Land Use

Economic Botany, 2018
Traditional land use may play a key role in conserving and promoting ecosystem integrity. However, little is known about conserving genetic diversity in such traditional management systems. The Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia) is an important element of traditionally managed landscapes in southern Brazil but is currently considered at risk of ...

Spatial and cross-product price linkages in the Brazilian pine timber markets

Forest Policy and Economics, 2020
Abstract The South of Brazil is one of the most attractive regions for timberland investments in the world. High productivity and relatively attractive timber prices have gained attention from timberland investors. However, as in most emerging countries, it is not very clear how prices are transmitted across products and markets.

Building an embryo: An auxin gene toolkit for zygotic and somatic embryogenesis in Brazilian pine

Gene, 2022
Many studies in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana characterized genes involved in embryo formation. However, much remains to be learned about the portfolio of genes that are involved in signal transduction and transcriptional regulation during plant embryo development in other species, particularly in an evolutionary context, especially ...

Fire feedbacks facilitate invasion of pine savannas by Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius)

New Phytologist, 2009
* Fire disturbance can mediate the invasion of ecological communities by nonnative species. Nonnative plants that modify existing fire regimes may initiate a positive feedback that can facilitate their continued invasion. Fire-sensitive plants may successfully invade pyrogenic landscapes if they can inhibit fire in the landscape.

Structural and functional characterization of starches from Brazilian pine seeds (Araucaria angustifolia)

Food Hydrocolloids, 2017
Abstract Brazilian pine seeds (Araucaria angustifolia) or pinhao are popularly consumed in South America as a seasonal food. Pinhao of seven accessions were supplied by Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa/Forestry) germplasm bank. Starch was isolated from those seeds and characterized.

Can native vegetation recover after slash pine cultivation in the Brazilian Savanna?

Forest Ecology and Management, 2011
Abstract There is a widespread view that forest plantations with exotic species are green deserts, unable to sustain biodiversity. Few studies have demonstrated, however, that planted stands of exotic trees have a greater negative effect on the plant diversity of savanna vegetation.

Phylogeography of Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia): integrative evidence for pre-Columbian anthropogenic dispersal

Tree Genetics & Genomes, 2018
Phylogeographic studies allow us to better understand the past history of species and the factors that mold their current distribution. Here, we demonstrate the potential human impact on the distribution of a tree species. In particular, it was hypothesized that Araucaria angustifolia, an endangered South American conifer, was dispersed from its ...

Biflavonoids from Brazilian pine Araucaria angustifolia as potentials protective agents against DNA damage and lipoperoxidation

Phytochemistry, 2005
A biflavonoid fraction (BFF) obtained from Araucaria angustifolia needles was effective to quench singlet oxygen (1O2), to protect plasmid DNA against single strand break (ssb) caused by 1O2 or Fenton reaction and to inhibit Fenton or UV radiation-induced lipoperoxidation in phosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Reproductive biology of the “Brazilian pine” (Araucaria angustifolia – Araucariaceae): Development of microspores and microgametophytes

Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2014
Araucaria angustifolia Bert. (O. Ktze), also known as the “Brazilian pine”, is native to the South of Brazil. This species has a long reproductive cycle, taking about 29–34 months. Its cones begin to develop in early January and remain dormant from March to July.
