Kinetics of solute leachate from imbibing Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (Brazilwood) seeds [PDF]
Revista Ceres, 2014 The electrical conductivity of leachates from imbibing seeds has been used as a vigor test for several species. The adaptation of this methodology to different species requires knowledge on the leaching kinetics of electrolytes. For Brazilwood seeds, the

Organic colorants based on lac dye and brazilwood as markers for a chronology and geography of medieval scriptoria: a chemometrics approach [PDF]
Heritage Science, 2021 This work presents the first proof of concept for the use of molecular fluorescence signatures in medieval colours based on lac dye and brazilwood lake pigments. These two important medieval dyes were tested as markers using their UV–Visible emission and

Light as an indicator of ecological succession in brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2009 The ecophysiological behavior of brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) plants was evaluated as affected by light quantity and quality. Nine-month-old plants were cultivated under 0%, 50%, and 80% artificial shading, and natural shading imposed by a closed canopy for a period of 392 days.

Viability of Brazilwood seeds (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) stored at room temperature in controlled atmospheres [PDF]
Journal of Seed Science, 2015 Seed storage at room temperature is an important and low-cost tool for ex situ conservation. However, the high rates of seed deterioration could reduce the potential for storage in this condition.
