Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory Effects of Caryocar brasiliense

Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Allergy Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
Background: Caryocar brasiliense, popularly known as pequi, is widely distributed in the Amazon rainforest and Brazilian savannah. The fruit obtained from pequi is used in cooking and has folk use as an anti-inflammatory and for the treatment of respiratory disease. Until now, these two properties had not been scientifically demonstrated for Pequi oil

Hyperdominant Trees Reveal Savanna Vulnerability Under Climate Change. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
The Brazilian Cerrado's forest structure relies disproportionately on just 30 hyperdominant tree species, which represent 50% of all individuals despite accounting for only 2% of species richness. This study evaluates their vulnerability under climate change scenarios for 2100.

Seed size and presence of thorns in Caryocar brasiliense on seedling emergence

Bioscience Journal, 2022
Commercial propagation of pequizeiro, which stands out among the main native fruits of the Cerrado region for its high economic potential, has been done by seeds, despite their erratic germination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed size and presence of thorns on the endocarp on seedling emergence of pequizeiro in the field.

Climate-Induced Genomic Selection: Genetic Structure Variation of <i>Cornus kousa</i> subsp. <i>chinensis</i> and Its Adaptive Reaction to Future Climate Change. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Global climate change exerts a far‐reaching influence on the geographical distribution, phenological patterns, and genetic diversity of plants, presenting a grave challenge to the survival and evolution of species. Owing to its robust ecological adaptability, restricted dispersal capacity, and abundant intraspecific variation, Cornus kousa ...

Air layering in Caryocar brasiliense - effect of stem diameter

Ciência Rural, 2022
ABSTRACT: Seed propagation of pequizeiro (Caryocar brasiliense) has many disadvantages, including low germination rates and high genetic variability of the resulting plants. Therefore, vegetative propagation techniques, such as the air layering process, are potentially important for this species.

Seedling emergence of Caryocar brasiliense according to mother plant and gibberellic acid use

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2012
Caryocar brasiliense is one of the most promising native fruit trees from the Brazilian Savannah, in the Goiás State, Brazil, concerning commercial production. However, the low and irregular germination of its seeds can be an obstacle for producing it on
