Micropropagation of Seed-Derived Clonal Lines of the Endangered Agave marmorata Roezl and Their Compatibility with Endophytes [PDF]

Biology, 2022
A. marmorata is the raw material used for tepextate mescal production but is classified as an endangered species. In the present study, we obtain and multiply clonal lines of Agave marmorata Roezl by selecting seedlings derived from seeds.

Thriving in Adversity: Yeasts in the Agave Fermentation Environment. [PDF]

Yeast
Three key players interacting in the agave fermentation environment: humans, agave plants, and microbes. Human selection of agaves with specific traits, combined with fermentation practices, may have created an environment that fosters the development of adaptive traits in certain microbial species, enabling them to thrive in the unique and challenging

Historical, temporal, and geographic dynamism of the interaction between Agave and Leptonycteris nectar‐feeding bats

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise The interaction between ecological and evolutionary processes has been recognized as an important factor shaping the evolutionary history of species. Some authors have proposed different ecological and evolutionary hypotheses concerning the relationships between plants and their pollinators; a special case is the interaction and ...

Genomic analysis unveils reduced genetic variability but increased proportion of heterozygotic genotypes of the intensively managed mezcal agave, Agave angustifolia

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise The central Oaxaca Basin has a century‐long history of agave cultivation and is hypothesized to be the region of origin of other cultivated crops. Widely cultivated for mezcal production, the perennial crop known as “espadín” is putatively derived from wild Agave angustifolia.
