AnswerMACAPUNO

The macapuno is a mutant of the coconut. Until I had to write this piece, I thought that the macapuno fruit is just an abnormal outgrowth of the regular coconut tree as I had learned as a child. Not anymore, the Philippine Coconut Authority corrected me. The Authority has developed macapuno trees that yield 80 per cent macapuno fruits. The trees grow in abundance in Albay where the Authority's research center is.

Contribution in biology of Emerita V de Guzman?

Dr. De Guzman was lauded for her outstanding contribution on the growth and development, in vitro, of the makapuno coconut embryo, resulting in a faster propagation of pure macapuno trees. As a result of this effort, she has revolutionized the old ratio of the makapuno-bearing nuts in the tropics which produce only 3-5 makapuno nuts in every raceme bearing 14-19 nuts. Dr. de Guzman produced 100% all makapuno-bearing in the raceme. Aside from these, she is also recognized for devising tissue culture techniques for rapid propagation of abaca and banana.
