Addressing Conservation Needs: Genetic Diversity and Population Ecology of the Endemic Tree Spondias tuberosa Arruda. [PDF]
Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae), popularly known as umbuzeiro or imbuzeiro, is a fruit tree native to the semiarid region of Brazil. The extractive harvesting of its fruits contributes significantly to the economy, generating an annual revenue of approximately $4,2 million.

Phylogenomic and single nucleotide polymorphism analyses revealed the hybrid origin of Spondias bahiensis (family Anacardiaceae): de novo genome sequencing and comparative genomics [PDF]
The genus Spondias (family Anacardiaceae) comprises 19 taxa, ten of which occur in Neotropical regions. Spondias bahiensis has been suggested to be a hybrid, although initial evidence does not support this hypothesis.

Pre-germination treatments for Spondias tuberosa seeds
Seed germination, essential for plant survival—particularly under adverse conditions—starts with imbibition, which reactivates metabolic functions. In semi-arid regions, water availability is critical, making seeds' ability to withstand water restrictions vital.

Extraction Processes, Bioaccessibility, Antioxidant Capacity, and Potential Prebiotic Effect of Co-Product Extracts From Fruits of the Spondias Genus. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study evaluated which extraction methods among agitation (ethanol and water, 60 min), ultrasonic bath–assisted (ethanol and water, 15 min), and supercritical fluid extraction (CO₂ and ethanol, 40°C, 15 Mpa) would be superior for producing co‐product extracts from seriguela (Spondias purpurea), caja (Spondias mombin), and umbu‐caja ...
