          Abstract

          La demanda del uso de aceites vegetales a nivel global es cada día mayor, debido a su amplia utilización, que va desde satisfacer las crecientes necesidades nutricionales de la población, hasta la producción industrial de jabones y cosméticos y el uso en los últimos años como lubricantes y biodiesel como fuente de energía renovable. La tendencia actual de muchos países para la de producción de aceites es a partir de nuevas fuentes, como son las palmas. En Cuba existen varias especies de palmas oleaginosas, entre ellas las conocidas como “palma corojo” entre las que sobresale Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart, la cual es autóctona y crece de forma espontánea en la mayor parte de las provincias, principalmente en la región central y oriental del país, estando ubicada, según la bibliografía internacional, como la segunda especie del orbe en producción de aceite, con un estimado de 4200 L ha-1. En el presente trabajo se abordan diferentes aspectos sobre las palmas y muy especialmente sobre esta especie y los trabajos que se han llevado a cabo de forma general en diferentes países de América y de forma particular en Cuba, donde la misma solo ha sido explotada de forma extractivista para autoconsumo por las poblaciones de diferentes territorios donde habita de forma natural

          Translated abstract

          The worldwide demand for the use of vegetable oils is increasing, due to their extensive use, ranging from satisfy growing nutritional needs of the population, until the industrial production of soaps and cosmetics and the use in the recent years as lubricants and biodiesel as renewable source of energy. The actual tendency in many countries to oil production is the use of new sources, such as the palms. In Cuba there are many oil producing species of oleaginous palms including those know as the “corojo palm” including the remarkable Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart, which is native and grows spontaneously in most of the provinces, mainly in the central and eastern region of the country, being located according to the international bibliography as the second among the group of oil producing species with an estimated 4200 L ha-1. In the present work, different aspects about palms are discussed and specifically about this specie and the researches that have been done in different countries of Latin America and particularly in Cuba, where it only has been exploited in an extractivist method for self-consumption by the population of different territories where it grows naturally

            The genetic structure and mating system of Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae)

            Acrocomia aculeata is a perennial, fruit-producing palm tree, native to tropical forests. Its fruits have spurred interest because of their significant potential for use in the cosmetic industry and as feedstock for biofuel. In the present study, the genetic structure and mating system in Acrocomia aculeata were analyzed, using eight nuclear micro-satellite loci and samples from São Paulo and Minas Gerais states, Brazil. By means of Bayesian analysis, these populations were clustered into two or three groups. A high multilocus outcrossing rate suggests that outcrosses were predominant, although a certain degree of biparental inbreeding also occurred. Thus, although monoecious and self-compatible, there is every indication that A. aculeata bears a mixed reproductive system, with a predominance of outcrossing. Given the genetic structure revealed hereby, future conservation strategies and germplasm collecting should be focussed on sampling and preserving individuals from different clusters.
