ABSTRACT

Summary This article presents the history of the institutional organizations responsable for the study of fruit genetic resources indigenous to the Amazon. The past and present priority lists of CPATU/EMBRAPA, FCAP, INPA/ CNPq, UEPAE/EMBRAPA, CNPMF/EMBRAPA, CEPLAC, CNPSD/EMBRAPA and EPACE are presented, together with the species lists of the germplasm collections and germplasm banks maintained by each institution, as well as discussion of each institution's immediate intentions for the expansion of these studies. Most of the species that appear in the priority list as indigenous to Amazonia are then considered with more detail, as well as several others with eventual economic potential. The uses of these fruits are mentioned and references are made in relation to the threat of genetic erosion faced by each species. The importance of Palmae germplasm is emphasized. General considerations are made about the status of efforts for collecting and conservation of these valuable genetic resources With special reference to the work of CENARGEN/EMBRAPA, about general and specific threats of genetic erosion in the region and some suggestions are made on the strategy for saving these genetic resources.


Resumo Este artigo reúne parte dos estudos com recursos genéticos das espécies frutíferas indígenas da Amazônia. Apresentam-se listas de prioridades históricas e atuais de cada instituição que se dedica à pesquisa com estas espécies, as listas das coleções e os bancos de germoplasma de cada instituição e suas possibilidades imediatas para expandir estas pesquisas. Apresentam-se algumas informações sobre diversas espécies prioritárias, comentários sobre o respectivo potencial económico e algumas considerações sobre a ameaça de erosão genética que cada uma enfrenta. Discute-se a situação atual da prospecção e conservação de germoplasma de espécies frutíferas nativas da região Amazônica e apresentam-se sugestões para conservação destes recursos genéticos.
