IUXLWVBLQGE vii COVER OF THE 2010 PORTUGUESE VERSION (available from www.mma.gov.br/estruturas/sbf_agrobio/_publicacao/89_publicacao08072011032100.pdf or www.cifor.org/nc/online-library/browse/view-publication/publication/1732.html) IUXLWVBLQGE viii 3UHIDFH This book features the uncommon quality of bringing together original scientific knowledge on fruits and useful plants of the Amazon forest and the sensibility to detect the deep interaction between life, traditional knowledge of our forests and folk culture. With its language at the same time accessible, pleasant and practical, the book has become a vehicle to disseminate information that is fundamental to the future of the Amazon and to bring alive the dream of a development model that is economically and socially fair, and that respects the environment. In this book, we from the State of Acre have the privilege of seeing our flora in a dialogue of experiences from eastern, central, and western Amazon. Mahogany, solitary aÇaí palm and rubber – which are part of the history of our region as well as part of our struggles – along with the songs, the gestures full of local culture and universal spirit are all in the book. I would like to draw the reader’s attention to three important aspects of the work of Patricia, Margaret and Gabriel. The first one is related to the impact of this work on collective health, by strengthening the use of plants capable of substantially improving the nutritional value of our diet and, consequently, preventing the so called “illnesses of the poor”. The studies developed by the authors correlated the seasonal availability of fruits in the forest with the incidence of diseases, showing that during periods of scarcity the number of cases of some diseases is highest. The second aspect is related to a powerful characteristic of the Amazon, still under- explored and poorly documented: the role of women in the knowledge and use of the non- timber forest patrimony. The advancement of sustainable experiences in the Amazon has witnessed a strong contribution of women – especially in the reinforcement of community actions and creativity to guarantee the social and material survival of the family. Women may be the strategic leverage to provide both the cement and scale needed to create a new paradigm in the region. In this new edition, the Articulated Movement of the Amazon Women (MAMA) from Acre is studied as a personification of this role. The third aspect I would like to highlight is the ability to associate forests and development – a true one, which instead of throwing us into the vortex of limitless competitiveness and selfishness, leads us to community, to solidarity, and to human and spiritual values as mediators of each one’s goals. The reader will also find studies on community management (Center of Amazonian Workers, CTA, project, Acre), environmental education (Health and Happiness Project, Santarém – Pará State; and SOS Amazon, Acre) and other tracks that lead to integral sustainability, in which it makes sense to take care of the environment since this is the way to take care of life itself, of children and our future. I want to again express my gratitude for this book, which is an extraordinary poem to the Amazon, which touches our emotions with the truths expressed in the simple and powerful figures of our animals, our plants, our aromas, our flavours. A sentiment arises within us, finally, and for our lives, simply and so proudly Amazonian. Marina Silva Former Minister of the Environment, Brazil IUXLWVBLQGE ix FAO preface Since the early 1970s, FAO has been working to support the efforts of forest communities to improve their lives by involving them in the decisions which affect their very existence. Today, an estimated 1.6 billion people around the world use forest resources to meet some of their needs for food, shelter, medicine and cash income. In fact, some 80 percent of people living in the developing world rely on non-wood forest products (NWFPs) such as fruits and medicinal plants for nutritional and health needs. These communities possess a deep knowledge of forests and their products, as well as their benefits to humankind and the environment. They are active caretakers of the forest. Today, more than ever, in the face of the multiple challenges facing the sector, FAO continues to stress the importance of involving forest communities in development initiatives. Nevertheless, a weakness in exchange of information between the scientific community and local populations

  • Species Delimitation and Hybrid Identification of Acrocomia Aculeata
    Species delimitation and hybrid identification of Acrocomia aculeata and A. totai by genetic population approach Brenda D´ıaz1, Maria Zucchi2, Alessandro Alves-Pereira1, Joaquim Azevedo-Filho2, Mariana Sanit´a2, and Carlos Colombo2 1State University of Campinas 2Instituto Agronomico October 9, 2020 Abstract To the Neotropical genus Acrocomia (Arecaceae) is attributed eight species with a wide distribution in America. A. aculeata and A. totai are the most important species because of their high economic potential for oil production. However, there is no consensus in their classification as different taxons and their distinctiveness is particularly challenging due to morphological similarities with large plasticity of the traits. In addition, there is doubt about the occurrence of interspecific hybrids between both species. In this study, we applied a genetic population approach to assessing the genetic boundaries, diversity and to identify interspecific hybrids of A. aculeata and A. totai. Thirteen loci of simple sequence repeat (SSR) were employed to analyze twelve populations representing a wide distribution of species, from Minas Gerais, Brazil to Formosa, Argentina. Based on the Bayesian analysis (STRUCTURE and NewHybrids) and Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC), our study supports the recognition of A. aculeata and A. totai as two species and the estimates of genetic parameters revealed more genetic diversity in A. totai (HE=0.551) than in A. aculeata (HE=0.466). We obtained evidence of hybridization between the species and that admixed individuals were assigned as F2 hybrids. In conclusion, this study showed the usefulness of microsatellite markers to elucidate the genetic boundaries of A. aculeata and A. totai, supporting their classification as different species and increase our knowledge about genetic diversity at the level of populations and species.

This review intends to evaluate the effects of both climate and anthropogenic perturbations on the carbon balance of the Brazilian Amazon and to understand how they interact with each other. By analysing the outputs of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report 4 (AR4) model ensemble, we demonstrate that Amazonian temperatures and water stress are both likely to increase over the 21st Century.

Printed in Brazil ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1984-70332014 v14n3a25 Genetic diversity and structure of Astrocaryum jauari (Mart.) palm in two Amazon river basins Liliane D. Santos Oliveira1, Santiago L. Ferreyra Ramos2, Maria T. Gomes Lopes1*, Gabriel Dequigiovanni2, Elizabeth Ann Veasey2, Jeferson L. Vasconcelos de Macêdo3, Jacqueline S. Batista4, Kyara M. Formiga4 and Ricardo Lopes3 Received 17 December 2013 Accepted 14 April 2014 Abstract – Astrocaryum jauari is a non-domesticated palm that is exploited by poachers. Our objective was to investigate the organization of the genetic diversity and structure of three A. jauari populations. The study was carried out in the state of Amazonas, between the municipalities of Coari and Manaus. Nine microsatellite loci were used for the genetic analyses. High genetic variation was found, with a mean number of alleles per locus varying from 3.9 to 4.4. The average observed heterozygosity, varying from 0.71 to 0.78, was higher than expected. No spatial genetic structure was detected, since only one cluster was observed. Our results indicate a possible dispersion strategy and suggest that conservation measures of this species should focus mainly on the populations found at the end of the main river (Solimões) where most of the plant material originating from the headwaters of the tributaries of this river is concentrated. Key words: Amazonia, rivers Solimões and Urucu, Jauari, palm domestication. INTRODUCTION ity, precipitation patterns around the hydrographic basins and due to evolutionary geographical events, defined by Astrocaryum jauari Mart.
