Brazil has about 300 Croton species in different types of vegetation. Croton tetradenius Baill., which is endemic to the Northeast region and predominant in the Caatinga vegetation, stands out among the several species of this genus. Considering the importance of knowing the genetic variability of a species, the objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of the genotypes of natural populations...
Due to the great social, economic and cultural context which Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) represents, as well as the intense devastation of the areas where it occurs naturally, was implemented in 2006, the Active Bank Mangabeira Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros (BAGMangaba) in Itaporanga d'Ajuda, SE. The Genebank (bags) gather genetic constitutions of different backgrounds and represent sources of genes for bree...
The cambuí tree (Myciaria tenella O. Berg) is native to Brazil and the fruits are harvested by extraction for fresh consumption in state of Sergipe (Brazil). Because of the regional importance of the species, this work aims to characterize the cambuí fruits and seeds. The fruits were harvested mature from the Reserva do Caju Experimental Field, on Itaporanga d'Ajuda (Sergipe, Brazil), belonging to Embrapa Coast...
