Dipteryx alata is a tree species form Brazilian Cerrado which is threatened by fragmentation. Fruits and seeds are human exploited and D. alata is a potential species to develop breeding programs aiming large scale monocultures, agroforestry and silvopasture plantations, and in recovery of degraded pastures. We aim the evaluation and conservation of D. alata genetic resources and the sett…
Genetic improvement has contributed to increase forest productivity. The applications of quantitative and molecular genetic techniques have allowed the selection of superior trees for fast growing characteristics, good stem shape, appropriate physical and mechanical properties and with good adaptability in different environments. The objective of the work is to know the genetic variation …
The great destruction of Brazilian forests have caused habitat fragmentation and consequently the extinction of many species. That way, becomes necessary the adoption of strategies for the ex situ conservation of native tree species, such that the genetic variability of populations is maintained. The aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva) is on the list of endangered species due to its high eco…
Nowadays, the Cerrado (also known as Bazilian Savannah) faces a lot of difficulties on preserving it's fauna and flora due to deforestation and burning that contribute with the decrease of this important biome's biodiversity and with the overwhelming increase of impacts that many times become irreversible. It is in this context that human intervention shows that natural environments, whic…
