Adequate timing for heart-of-palm harvesting in King palm [PDF]
Horticultura Brasileira, 2001 Heart-of-palm, palm heart, or "palmito" can be considered as a non-conventional vegetable, largely consumed in Brazil and exported to more than sixty countries. Timing of heart-of-palm harvesting is a critical issue in palmito agribusiness, since it affects yield, quality and costs.

Desiccation effects on germination and vigor of King palm seeds [PDF]
Horticultura Brasileira, 2003 The desiccation tolerance of Archontophoenix alexandrae (Wendl. & Drude) seeds was determined and the most sensitive vigor test for assessing seed deterioration of this species was identified. Mature fruits were harvested in the palm collection of the Instituto Agronomico in Campinas, Brazil. Depulped fruits were transported in impermeable packages

Chemical composition of flours made of residues from the king palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae) industry [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009 Residues from King palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae) processing were used for the production of flours, which were then chemically characterized. The protein content in these flours ranged from 3.62 to 9.75 g/100g and was higher in sifted leaf flour (SLF). The dietary fiber contents varied from 64 to 72 g/100g.

Genetic parameters estimation in King palm through a mixed mating system model [PDF]
Horticultura Brasileira, 2003 Overestimation of the genetic parameters is common in palms due to the occurrence of geitonogamy and the absence of self-incompatibility mechanisms. Data from nursery grown Archontophoenix palms were utilized, assuming a mixed mating system including random cross-pollination and selfing at different rates.

MERCERIZED ARCHONTOPHOENIX ALEXANDRAE (KING PALM) FIBRE AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF PULLING FORCE ON ITS REINFORCEMENT IN EPOXY MATRIX. [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Research, 2019 Natural plant fibre was loosened from ArchontophoenixAlexandrae ?King palm? leaf stalk by saltwater retting and washing, then sun-dried for 2 weeks. The fibre was pulverized and treated with 4 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 30 minutes before washing to neutralize the fibre and sun dried.
