A. J. F. Castro,2 F. R. Martins,*3J. E OF BRAZILIAN CERRADOS?1 Tamashiro,3and G. J. Shepherd3 ABSTRACT An attempt is made to summarize what is known about the richness of the total terrestrialangiosperm flora of the "cerrados" (as a complex of formations)in Brazil, based on published surveys and species lists. A "refined" list of arboreal and shrubby species was compiled froma total of 145 individual lists from78 localities, taking into account synonymyand recent taxonomic changes. The refinedlist had 1709 references to taxonomic entities at the species level (973 identified with confidence and 31 with aff or cf.), 572 references to generic entities (363 genera identifiedwith confidence), and 210 references to the familylevel (88 families identifiedwith confidence). There are many unidentified arboreal and shrubby taxa at the specific, generic, and familylevels, indicating that a considerable amount of taxonomic research remains to be done on the cerrado flora, and that this flora may be much richer than is generally assumed. Depending on the assumptions made, these data suggest a total of around 1000 to 2000 arboreal and shrubby species and 2000 to 5000 herbaceous ones, yielding estimates for the total cerrado flora (terrestrialangiosperms) rangingfrom 3000 to 7000 species. These limits, especially the upper one, are dubious, but give an idea of the magnitude of the angiosperm flora in the Brazilian cerrados. Surveys of cerrados are very unevenly distributed,and studies of relatively unknown sites may reveal much more diversitythan that presently known. On readingaccounts of floristicstudies on cer- component have been rare in Brazil (Mantovani & rados in Brazil, one rapidlycomes to realize that Martins, 1993).

(africanized) in an apiary situated in Pará de Minas, Minas Gerais state, and evaluate the pollen prefences among the beehives. Two beehives of Langstroth type with frontal pollen trap collectors were used. The harvest was made from September 2007 to March 2008, with three samples of pollen pellets colected per month per beehive. The subsamples of 2 grams each were prepared according to the European standard melissopalynological method. A total of 56 pollen types were observed, identifying 43 genus and 32 families. The families that showed the major richness of pollen types were: Mimosaceae (8), Asteraceae (6), Fabaceae (3), Arecaceae (3), Euphorbiaceae (3), Rubiaceae (3), Caesalpiniaceae (2), Moraceae (2) and Myrtaceae (2).

The knowledge of species of host plants of insect galls is fundamental to further studies of plant-galling insect interactions. However, a list of host plant species of gall-inducing insects has not yet been compiled for the flora of the Midwest Region of Brazil. New information We provide a compilation of the plant species reported to host insect galls in the Cerrado of the state of Goiás in the Midwest Region of Brazil. Altogether we found records for 181 species of 47 families of host plants, which hosted 365 distinct gall morphotypes.

Edilson Alves dos Santos1, Juracy Marques dos Santos1, Antônio Euzébio Goulart Santana2 1 Universidade do Estado da Bahia Campus VIII, Rua do Bom Conselho, 179, CEP 48.600-000 Paulo Afonso-BA Brazil. 2 Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Instituto de Química e Biotecnologia, Laboratório de Produtos Naturais – 57.0720970, Maceió-AL - Brazil. Corresponding author: Edilson Alves dos Santos, Departamento de Educação, Universidade do Estado da Bahia, Campus VIII, Rua do Bom Conselho, 179, CEP: 48.600-000 Paulo Afonso, BA Brazil. The Pankarare Indians are located in one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the northeastern state of Bahia in Brazi, located within the region known as the Raso da Catarina, in a quadrilateral bounded by the cities of Paulo Afonso, Jeremoabo, Canudos and Macururé. This is one of the driest regions of the state, where the caatinga (savanna) and the basins of the San Francisco and Vaza-Barris rivers served as the stage for the Cangaço (social banditry in northeast Brazil), the Canudos Revolt and the development of the hydro-based energy industry. The climate is semi-arid and the vegetation predominantly caatinga (savanna), with deciduous woody vegetation dominated by prickly seagrass, especially cacti and bromeliads (Costa Neto, 1999). More precisely, this indigenous group is found concentrated in Brejo do Burgo, 40 km from Paulo Afonso, on the northern border of Raso. A small portion of the indigenous people inhabit the Serrota (6 km south of Brejo), below Chico (Bandeira, 2003).

Among the native vegetables is the jatobá-do-cerrado (Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart.), a legume with great potential for exploration for its content of dietary fiber. Legumes are an important source of nutrient compounds, such as phenolic compounds and vitamins that have antioxidant properties. This study aimed at determining the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of the jatobá flour. The jatobá flour showed high fiber content (insoluble and soluble fiber 47.8 and 12.8 g.100–1 g , respectively), significant amounts of carotenoids such as beta-carotene and lutein, and some minerals such as calcium: 145 mg.100 g–1, magnesium: 125 mg.100 g–1, and potassium: 1352 mg.100 g–1.

Received 16 April, 2015; Accepted 11 June, 2015 Cagaita fruits are subject to seasonality and perishability. This work aims to use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics, texture, color and physical structure of cagaita fruits coated with different chitosan concentrations. The fruits were divided as follows: T0 (uncoated fruits), T1 (fruits coated with 1% (v/v) chitosan), T2 (fruits coated with 2% (v/v) chitosan) and T3 (fruits coated with 3% (v/v) chitosan). They were analyzed at 0, 10, 20 and 30 days of storage. Titratable acidity and soluble solids content showed no conservation of fruit characteristics; they showed better results for uncoated fruits, as well as weight loss, vitamin C and peak strain. The color of cagaita fruits confirmed ripening during storage regardless of treatment.
