Mauritia flexuosa L.f. is a palm from the Amazon. Pulp and oil are extracted its fruits, with high content of bioactive compounds. This study presents economic evaluation two extraction processes: (a) Conventional solvent (CSE) 80% ethanol for recovery phenolic-rich extracts; (b) Supercritical fluid (SFE) followed by CSE to obtain extracts. The objective this was compare feasibility both proces...

Abstract The aim of this research was to evaluate the survival and growth native tree saplings planted in a drained Mauritia flexuosa palm swamp (vereda) southeastern Brazil, identify suitable species for restoration projects these hygrophilous environments. Total sapling at one-year post-planting 48%. with highest were Croton urucurana, Cecropia pachystachya, Erythroxylum citrifolium, Hirtella...

Los palmares de Mauritia flexuosa (aguajales) son considerados las principales turberas tropicales amazónicas que contribuyen al mantenimiento la biodiversidad y del ciclo hidrológico, además su aporte en el secuestro almacenamiento carbono. Mediante una revisión bibliográfica observaciones campo, se identifica importancia, factores amenaza oportunidad para estos ecosistemas. Las almacenan más ...

Because of their sessile nature, plants evolved several mechanisms to tolerate or avoid conditions where water is scarce. The molecular mechanisms contributing to drought tolerance have been studied extensively, whereas the molecular mechanism underlying drought avoidance is less understood despite its importance. Several lines of evidence showed that the roots sense the moisture gradient and g...
