GERMINATION STUDIES ON STENOCEREUS GRISEUS AND ESCONTRIA CHIOTILLA [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2003 Introduction . The edible fruit of jiotilla (Escontria chiotilla (Weber) Rose), a cactus endemic to Central Mexico, mature asynchronously and are characterized by the presence of bracts in the fruit peel (pericarpel). In order to establish a harvest index, a series of physical, chemical, and morphological classical parameters coupled with histological

Measuring the shape of mortality across animals and plants: Alternatives to H entropy metrics reveal hidden type IV survivorship curves and associations with parental care at macro-ecological scales. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We revisit the classic framework of survivorship curves and test whether commonly used entropy measures of these curves are appropriate for contemporary comparative analysis. We show that entropy measures are not appropriate for wide‐scale taxonomic analysis and that entropy measures may mask important macroecological patterns.

Journal of the Mexican Chemical SocietyAbstract. In this study, natural dyes were extracted from two different cacti: Stenocereus sp. and Escontria chiotilla peel. The dyes were used as potential sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). For Stenocereus sp. fruit, microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes were applied to obtain a purified sample and to investigate their ...
