Hydration cycles and overcoming dormancy in Butia capitata (Arecaceae) diaspores
Trees, 2021Hydration cycles promote embryo physiological changes, favoring overcoming dormancy in Butia capitata seed banks. Dormant seeds can spend many years in soil seed banks while subject to successive hydration and dehydration cycles (HC). Our knowledge concerning the effects of HC on seed survival and on overcoming dormancy is still limited, especially ...

Health quality and germination of Butia capitata seeds treated with bactericide and fungicide [PDF]
Summa Phytopathologica, 2016 ABSTRACT Propagation of “coquinho-azedo” (Butia capitata) is limited due to dormancy and high incidence of fungi in its seeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of treating “coquinho-azedo” seeds with different concentrations of bactericide and/or fungicide on the incidence of fungi and on the germination of seeds. Thus, B.

Superação de dormência em sementes de Butia capitata [PDF]
Ciencia Rural, 2011 Com o objetivo de identificar métodos eficientes para a superação da dormência de sementes de B. capitata (Mart.) Becc. semeadas in vitro e em germinador, foram conduzidos testes com escarificação mecânica em pré-semeadura, através da abertura parcial ou total da cavidade embrionária de sementes isoladas dos endocarpos.

Structure of the zygotic embryos and seedlings of Butia capitata (Arecaceae)
Trees, 2012Butia capitata, an endemic palm of the Brazilian savanna threatened by deforestation, demonstrates low germinability due to seed dormancy. The present study characterizes the structure of the zygotic embryo and describes germination and seedling development.

The synthesis and characterization of Butia capitata seed oil as a FAME feedstock
Fuel, 2016Abstract In this study, we investigate seed oil from the fruit of Butia capitata, a native palm from South America, as feedstock for fatty acid methyl ester synthesis. Determination of the fatty acid profile, saponification index, acidity index, iodine index, viscosity index, flash point and levels of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium ...

Seed structure, germination, and reserve mobilization in Butia capitata (Arecaceae)
Trees, 2013Butia capitata is a palm tree endemic to the Cerrado biome of Brazil and has significant potential for ornamental and food uses. In this work, we characterized the structures of the seeds and seedlings of this species to identify anatomical aspects related to its pronounced dormancy and determine the processes involved in reserve mobilization.

Qualidade sanitária de sementes de coquinho-azedo (Butia capitata) no Norte de Minas Gerais [PDF]
Ciencia Rural, 2008 O coquinho-azedo (Butia capitata Mart. Becc.) é uma palmeira nativa dos cerrados brasileiros e seus frutos são fonte de alimento para seres humanos e animais. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram identificar e quantificar os microorganismos nas sementes dessa espécie, utilizando análises "blotter test" e meio Batata-dextrose-ágar (BDA).

Volatile compounds from fruits of Butia capitata at different stages of maturity and storage
Food Research International, 2014Abstract The chemical composition of volatile substances from fruits of jelly palm (Butia capitata) was investigated at four stages of maturity and two storage conditions. These stages were characterized through the profile obtained by extraction of volatiles through headspace chromatography and analyzed by GC-MS.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2015
AbstractBACKGROUNDPindo palm (Butia capitata, Becc. 1916) is a tropical fruit native to South America and is relatively rich in bioactive compounds. It is often consumed as juice. The aim of this study was, first, to identify the degradation of these compounds by pasteurization and by cold storage (4 °C) of pindo palm juice.

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2018
Plant population response to ecological and anthropogenic factors provides essential information for conservation and management, mainly for species occurring in ecosystems under intense and rapid land use changes, like the Cerrado. We assessed the effects of land use and management upon the distribution of size and on the frequency of life stages of ...
