The Cerrado is the second largest biome consists of savannas, woodlands, grasslands and riverine forests with more than 7,000 plant species, in which 44% are endemic. The aim of this study was to identify the species of fruit plants of Cerrado in the São Vicente Campus and its potential use for food, medicine and other types. The campus is located at 15°49’S and 55°25’O, distant 86 km from Cuiabá/MT. Data was obtained between May and June 2010 with location and identification of fruit plants in the area called Agri3. 184 individuals belonging to 20 species and 14 families were found. The aculeata Acrocomia and Anacardium humile species were 48 and 47 individuals, respectively. While the species Mouriri elliptica, Brosimum gaudichaudii, American Genipa, Talisia esculenta and Vitex montevidensis showed only 01 individuals each. Of the 20 species, 07 have been used for food, medical and other uses, while 01 showed only food and medicinal uses, and 05 have only 05 food use. The vegetation is a key feature for human consumption, as well as its commercial exploitation can promote socioeconomic development through wages or planting species extraction that can result in public policies for species conservation.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
