Exploring the Links between Ethnobotany, Local Therapeutic Practices, and Protected Areas in Santa Catarina Coastline, Brazil. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2012
We investigated the knowledge of medicinal plants in two areas proposed for the creation of protected areas for sustainable use in the city of Imbituba (SC). In this study, we analyzed the influence of gender, form of learning, and modern medicine on medicinal plant knowledge while also reflecting on the relationship of this knowledge to in situ ...

Pest categorisation of Colletotrichum aenigma, C. alienum, C. perseae, C. siamense and C. theobromicola

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Colletotrichum aenigma, C. alienum, C. perseae, C. siamense and C. theobromicola, five clearly defined fungi of the C. gloeosporioides complex causing anthracnose. The pathogens are widely distributed in at least three continents. C. aenigma and C.

Uncovering the genetic diversity of yams (Dioscorea spp.) in China by combining phenotypic trait and molecular marker analyses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 9970-9986, August 2021., 2021
Representative yam resources from five species were collected in 21 provinces in China. The genetic diversity of 112 yam accessions in China was evaluated roundly by combining phenotypic traits, SSR, and SRAP markers. Genetic difference between yam resources in China was identified roughly, and Dioscorea opposita probably originated from China ...

Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices

Archaeometry, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 362-380, April 2020., 2020
Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts ...

Quality and yield of yam tubers cultivated with green manure in the Northeastern Brazil

, 2018
Yam (Dioscorea cayennensis Lam.) is a promising crop for small growers in the Northeast of Brazil, but productivities are limited due to low fertilization rates. Green manure could be an alternative due to its low cost and high availability.

Development of high‐resolution DNA barcodes for Dioscorea species discrimination and phylogenetic analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 18, Page 10843-10853, September 2019., 2019
We compared genic and intergenic regions of three Dioscorea chloroplast genomes and seven pairs of primers had 80%–100% PCR success rate. Automatic barcoding gap discovery (ABGD), Poisson tree processes (PTP), and generalized mixed Yule coalescence (GMYC) analysis were applied for species delimitation based on the seven loci and successfully identified
