Yielding fruits and palm hearts, peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) was a staple food crop for many pre-Columbian Amerindian communities in the lowland humid neotropics. The gene pool of cultivated peach palm and its wild relatives is rich in diversity but is subject to genetic erosion creating an urg...
