Morphologic and molecular characterization of Myrciaria spp species

Abstract: -The jabuticaba tree is considered one of the most typical Brazilian fruit trees. However, few studies of this plant are found in the literature and even its botanical classification is very controversial. The present research reports some comparisons between jabuticaba species, using morphologic (organography) and molecular markers techniques. The morphologic characteristics of the plant used as markers were compared with specimens of the herbaria from São Paulo and Minas Gerais States and with the descriptio… Show more

“…The pulp has a pleasant taste and is white, gelatinous, sweet exhibiting low acidity, and may contain from one to four seeds [ 1 , 2 ]. Currently, about nine species of jabuticaba are known, as well as some varieties, among them Plinia jaboticaba , Plinia cauliflora , Plinia trunciflora , Plinia coronate, and Plinia phitrantha [ 3 ]. The jabuticaba has aroused the interest of the food industry, due to the presence of high content of compounds exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hypercholesterolemic activities, mainly anthocyanins and tannins [ 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”
