Synopsis

Restoring degraded ecosystems is extremely important given the increasingly drastic environmental crisis and the decline in the quality of life of human and natural populations. In view of this, the preservation of genetic resources in germplasm banks has become an alternative for conserving the genetic variability present in a given species, and it is essential to create and use new viable techniques to maintain and conserve these plant genetic resources in the face of the unfeasibility of traditional seed collection techniques, since the high number of repetitions for the representativeness of a native population increases the costs of maintaining this bank, as well as the risks that this same population will not be fruiting at the time of shipment. This study therefore sought information on the conservation potential and viability of cashew forks (Anacardium occidentale L.) when subjected to the action of different concentrations of preservative solutions at different packaging intervals between collection and grafting, thus evaluating setting, bud sprouting and the emission of leaf primordia.
