Pejibaye palm (Bactris gasipaes, Arecaceae): Multi-use potential for the lowland humid tropics
Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) was domesticated and widely used in the lowland humid neotropics during pre-Colombian times. Several research programs are underway to study and improve the species for use by farmers in ecologically suitable regions. Five breeding programs are outlined, each for a use to...
