Speciation along a latitudinal gradient: The origin of the Neotropical cycad sister pair Dioon sonorense-D. vovidesii (Zamiaceae). [PDF]
We reconstructed the history of lineage divergence that gave origin to the sister cycad species Dioon sonorense–D. vovidesii from northwestern Mexico. We found that the two lineages split approximately 1 million years ago, and their current geographic separation is concordant with the environmental seasonality variation associated with the latitudinal ...

Interaction of planting system with radiation-use efficiency in wheat lines. [PDF]
Abstract Radiation‐use efficiency (RUE) is an important trait for raising biomass and yield potential in plant breeding. However, the effect of the planting system (PS) on genetic variation in RUE has not been previously investigated. Our objectives were to quantify genetic variation in RUE, biomass and grain yield in raised‐bed and flat‐basin planting

Microencapsulation of <i>Agave cupreata</i> Extract by Spray Drying: Physicochemical Properties and Antibacterial and Antiulcerogenic Activities. [PDF]
The Agave cupreata leaves are the main crop residues generated by the mezcal industry. It is known that agave leaves are potential sources of antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory compounds that could be used in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, the valorization of crop residues and maximal utilization of this material are of major research ...

Evidence for increasing global wheat yield potential [PDF]
Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological traits, regardless of climate change ...

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.

Visualising the pattern of long‐term genotype performance by leveraging a genomic prediction model
Abstract Historical data from plant breeding programs provide valuable resources to study the response of genotypes to the changing environment (i.e. genotype‐by‐environment interaction). Such data have been used to evaluate the pattern of genotype performance across regions or locations, but its use to evaluate the long‐term pattern of genotype ...

Currently, silver nanoparticles have boomed in food and medicine due to their potential applications, such as antibacterial and anticancer activity. These nanoparticles have been synthesized by several techniques; however, green synthesis has taken on greater importance due to the non‐generation of toxic residues.

Distilling agro‐extractivism: Agave and tequila production in Mexico
Abstract This article seeks to challenge the notion that the concept of agro‐extractivism be restricted to crops destined for export with little or no processing. Based on a study of agave and tequila production in Mexico, it argues that the domestic processing of biomass does not change nor necessarily compensate for the negative social and ...
