Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) O. Kuntze., also known as brazilian-pine, is a forest native species from Brazil. A. angustifolia is more vulnerable to global climate change, considering it is living in cold and humid mountain regions from southern and southeastern Brazil. Among the native Brazilian forest species, it presents one of the greatest growth and genetic gain potential. It shows excellent wood quali...
The main deterrent to the adoption of new species for operational plantations is the availability of genetically improved seeds in sufficient amount to supply the market. Therefore, this study was carried out with the objective to estimate genetic parameters for individual selection as a basis to transform the field trial into a seedling seed orchard. The trial contained forty seven half-sib families from fiv...

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...
The study of reproductive phenology is important in order to determine the proportion of individuals that contributes to the effective gamete pool in a population and to support programs on pollen and seed collection for use in conservation and breeding programs. In araucaria (Araucaria angustifoliaBert. (O. Ktze.), more intensive studies on reproductive biology and phenology are necessary to elucidate the repr...
DNA extraction is a very important step for DNA genetic analysis in peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth.). The aim of this work was to develop a methodology of DNA extraction. Fresh, frozen and dried leaves were utilized. DNA from fresh leaves were purified one time while frozen and dried leaves was purified two times. DNA bands were coloured intensively showing a high amount of purified DNA and with an excellen...
