Biometric variability of inflorescence and flower traits among ex situ accessions of the neotropical oilseed palm Acrocomia Mart. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Biometric evaluation of inflorescence and flower traits of the oilseed palm genus Acrocomia could contribute to the delimitation of the species and to the understanding of yield formation. This study identifies the presence of second‐order rachillae in Acrocomia and reveals a high variation in inflorescence architecture and floral structures among ...

Fermentative losses and lactic acid content of elephant grass silages added with macaúba cake

Bioscience Journal, 2023
Elephant grass is indicated for silage production but requires additives to increase dry matter content because it reduces the production of effluents, potentially improves the fermentation pattern, and preserves the nutrients of the silage.

Genotyping-by-sequencing informs conservation of Andean palms sources of non-timber forest products. [PDF]

Evol Appl
Abstract Conservation and sustainable management of lineages providing non‐timber forest products are imperative under the current global biodiversity loss. Most non‐timber forest species, however, lack genomic studies that characterize their intraspecific variation and evolutionary history, which inform species' conservation practices.
