	PROSOPIS WORKSHOP MARCH
		Prosopis is a nitrogen fixing tree and this, coupled with its pioneer habit has caused it to be introduced to many countries in Africa and Asia.
		Prosopis (mesquite) flavors are popular for barbecues in the States and a manufacturer from Texas described the manufacturing process for "mesquite cookin chunks" used to replace charcoal.
		Prosopis species are essentially out-crossers which results in a high degree of between tree variability providing great potential for improving selected characters once they are genetically identified.

		Prosopis is now a declared weed over millions of square kilometres of arid and semiarid lands, where it drastically reduces the production of forage plants, threatening the livelihoods of ranchers (Pasiecznik 2001).
		Prosopis juliflora is almost unsurpassable as a fuel in the dry rural areas of this country, and many small farmers, landless and artisans depend on it to cook all their meals.
		The value of Prosopis as producing a quality timber, excellent fuel and sweet pods was well known by those who had seen trees in their native ranges, and there was a desire for selected species to fulfil similar roles in other countries.

		The shape, furrows, and sculpture of the pollen of ironwood (Olnea tesota) is very similar, but its pore is thinned, not thickened, in the intine and the pore diameter is greater than the width of the furrow.
		Prosopis (mesquite) are shrubs and trees, widespread in arid regions of the New World, Africa, and southwest Asia.
		However, given its amphitropical and amphi-Atlantic distribution, Prosopis likely originated during the early Tertiary, so the absence of mesquite pollen in the pre-Quaternary pollen record likely results from its low production and dispersal.

	handbook on seed insects of Prosopis species
		Throughout the range of Prosopis (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae), seed predators, primarily beetles in the family Bruchidae, greatly reduce the numbers of viable seeds.
		The bruchids are very efficient in their feeding in Prosopis because they feed in seeds from the time they start to form in immature pods until after the pods have matured and fallen to the ground and, when the seeds are stored, they continue to feed until most of the seeds are destroyed.
		Because species of Prosopis show much promise for development for fuelwood and fodder, this handbook could have a significant impact on the processes of conservation and domestication of Prosopis.
