Sub-zero temperature enables storage of seeds of Caesalpinia echinata Lam [PDF]
Seeds of brazilwood usually have their germinability quickly reduced if stored under natural conditions. Low temperatures, mainly sub-zero, can extend this viability for at least two years. However, there is no information about the germination behavior of these seeds for longer periods, aiming at the germoplasm bank formation.

New cassane diterpenes from Caesalpinia echinata
An investigation of the ethanolic extract from stems of Caesalpinia echinata Lam (Leguminosae-Caesalpinioideae) led to the isolation of five new cassane diterpenes along with known lambertianic acid. Their structures were determined based on spectroscopic methods.

Light as an indicator of ecological succession in brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) [PDF]
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.

Morphological and physiological adjustments of Brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) to direct solar radiation [PDF]
This study aimed to characterize the alarm and resistance phases of stress of Caesalpinia echinata under intense irradiance in order to better define its position on forest succession. The alarm phase was identified by rapid reduction in the maximum quantum yield of PSII primary photochemical reactions (ΦP0 = FV/FM) and Performance Index (PIABS ...

Examination of Wood Properties of Plantation-Grown Pernambuco (Caesalpinia Echinata) [PDF]
Caesalpinia echinata (pernambuco or pau-brasil), is recognized as the premier wood for manufacturing stringed instrument bows. Owing to limited supplies and concerns regarding species survival, interest exists in establishing pernambuco plantations to provide future bow-quality wood. For native forest- and plantationgrown woods we examined several wood
