Somatic embryogenesis from peach palm zygotic embryos

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 2007
The factors affecting the induction and development of somatic embryos and plantlet acclimatization of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) were evaluated to establish an efficient regenerative protocol based on somatic embryogenesis. Mature zygotic embryos were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0–40 μM of picloram (4-amino-3,

Peach palm: Pseudo-wood for sustainable jewelry design

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2020
Abstract The stipe of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes, Kunth) provides a pseudo-wood with high mechanical properties that can be used to make numerous objects. As every timber, this pseudo-wood is a natural and renewable composite, with a lifespan limited by the degradation of its basic components. This degradation can be caused by chemical reactions or

Soil Biodegradation of PHBV/Peach Palm Particles Biocomposites

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2010
There is great interest in developing eco-friendly green biocomposites from plant-derived natural fibers and crop-derived bioplastics attributable to their renewable resource-based origin and biodegradable nature. Fully biodegradable composites, made from both biodegradable polymeric matrices and natural fibers, should be advantageous in some ...

Development and properties of biodegradable film from peach palm (Bactris gasipaes)

Food Research International, 2023
Formulations of biodegradable films using macrocarpa peach palm flour (low amylose starch), chitosan and glycerol, were developed and the effects of the drying temperature on films by assessing their physicochemical, mechanical, barrier, optical, structural, antioxidant properties, and the biodegradability in soil were evaluated.

Evaluation of Peach Palm for Palm Heart Production

The Planter, 2001
For the purpose of crop diversification and food production, a study has been carried out to determine the feasibility of growing peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) for palm heart production. A total of 160 peach palm seedlings were planted at density 1 111 plants per hectare.

Nanocellulose obtained from residues of peach palm extraction (Bactris gasipaes)

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2019
The large amount of residues generated by the peach palm agroindustry and its cellulose content (34 g 100g-1) motivated the present investigation, where outer sheaths were used for nanocellulose production through ultrafine grinding. Protocols combining different chemical delignification with defibrillation intensity (10 and 20 cycles) were applied and

Nitrogen metabolism in lambs fed diets containing peach palm meal

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2016
The objective of this study was to evaluate the nitrogen metabolism of lambs fed diets containing peach palm meal substituting maize (0, 10, 40, 60, and 85 % DM). Thirty Santa Inês uncastrated lambs with an average initial body weight of 21.6 ± 0.87 kg were distributed in a completely randomized design with five diets and six replicates.

Cryopreservation of peach palm zygotic embryos.

Cryo letters, 2007
Cryopreservation is a safe and cost-effective option for long-term germplasm conservation of non-orthodox seed species, such as peach palm (Bactris gasipaes). The objective of the present study was to establish a cryopreservation protocol for peach palm zygotic embryos based on the encapsulation-dehydration technique.

POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION OF PEACH PALMS UNDER SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL CONDITIONS

Acta Horticulturae, 2012
The Amazonian peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth), has been cultivated in southeastern Brazil for heart-of-palm production. Internationally known as a gourmet vegetable, the peach palm heart-of-palm market is expanding in Brazil. Due to its recent introduction in the southeastern Brazilian region, there are so far few studies on water consumption of ...

VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION OF BACTRIS GASIPAES (PEACH PALM) BY CLUMP DIVISION FOR PRODUCTION OF PALM SEEDS

Acta Horticulturae, 2013
A breeding program consisting of selected plant multiplication was undertaken so as to find a more appropriate technology for the division of peach palm clumps. Its experimental design were randomized block with three replicates,in a 3×5 factorial scheme, where the factors were offshoot height (60 cm) and time length following separation (0, 30, 60, 90
