Imbuya (Ocotea porosa Nees et Martius ex. Nees, Lauraceae) is a species under extinction of the Mixed Ombrophylous Forest, whose wood owns high economic value. The objective of this work was to discuss precocious individual genetic selection utilizying Selegen REML/BLUP software in germoplasm of Colombo, PR, Canoinhas and Caçador, SC, populations. Results showed that 1182 selected genotypes (42,9 %) were from C...
Imbuya (Ocotea porosa Nees et Martius ex. Nees, Lauraceae) is a species menaced of extinction. In 2003, Embrapa Florestas began a program for its conservation exsitu collecting germplasm at Colombo, Bocaiuva – Paraná state, Canoinhas and Caçador – Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Seeds were immersed in sulphuric acid 70% against dormancy of tegument. Low germination index were obtained, varying from 9,70% to 18,19...
