Abstract

Surinam cherry tree (Eugenia uniflora) is native to Brazil, but it is found in several subtropical countries of Latin America. Its fruit has different berries according to the maturation stage and variety. However, a genotype may have greater market potential, especially if intended for processing, as it produces seedless fruits. The aim of this study was to characterize the floral and reproductive biology of a E. uniflora apyrenic genotype, comparing possible differences with a pyrenic genotype. Works were carried at UTFPR - C & acirc;mpus of Dois Vizinhos, Brazil and EEAD (CSIC), Zaragoza, Spain. The period between the beginning of flowering and fruit maturation, anthesis time, quantification of the number of anthers per flower, pollen per anther, pollen grain development, and in vitro pollen germination were evaluated. The pyrenic Surinam cherry genotype has higher number of anthers per flower, pollen per anther and pollen per flower. The in vitro viability of pollen grains was greater with flowers after anthesis and when longer incubation periods were used. Under natural conditions, pollen grain germination and pollen tube growth occur normally, with no self-incompatibility.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Revista Brasileira De Fruticultura, and although the journal is classified in the quartile Q4 (Agencia WoS (JCR)), its regional focus and specialization in Horticulture, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-07:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 3 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/10532/7425
