The most highly prized component of the cupuassu is its white, yellowish pulp that is found adhered to itslarge seeds with an acidic flavor and pleasant characteristic aroma, that is used is cosmetics, liqueurs, juices and various edible conserves.There are few studies related to the Theobroma genus species and no micropropagation protocols that obtain viable plantules. A protocol , inorder to obtain in vitro somatic embryos from floral explants of cupuassu was evaluated. Experiments were conducted in the Plant TissueCulture Laboratory of EMBRAPA, Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil.
