Phylogeographic patterns and possible incipient domestication of Jacaratia mexicana A. DC. (Caricaceae) in Mexico

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2010
Jacaratia mexicana A. DC. (Caricaceae) is a tropical tree distributed throughout Mexico and Mesoamerica. Some evidence in Mexico indicates the presence of an incipient domestication process in this species. Phylogeographical analyses can potentially determine contemporary patterns of gene flow, isolation between population lineages, as well as ...

Isolation of cDNA from Jacaratia mexicana encoding a mexicain-like cysteine protease gene

Gene, 2012
Cysteine proteases (CPs) from the C1 family, which are similar to papain, can be found in animals and plants, as well as some viruses and prokaryotes. These enzymes have diverse physiological functions and are thus very attractive for science and industry.

Shear rate and microturbulence effects on the synthesis of proteases by Jacaratia mexicana cells cultured in a bubble column, airlift, and stirred tank bioreactors

Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, 2013
Cysteine proteases from Jacaratia mexicana, an endemic Mexican plant, could compete in industrial applications with papain. Currently the only way to obtain these proteases is by extracting them from the wild plant. An alternative source of these enzymes is by J. mexicana suspension culture. In this work, this culture was carried out in airlift, bubble

Greater mycorrhizal colonization of unisexual morphs than of hermaphroditic morphs of Jacaratia mexicana during flowering and fruiting in central Mexico

Symbiosis, 2013
Different sexual morphs of dimorphic and trimorphic populations of plants have different demands for resources correlating with phenotypic and ecological dissimilarities among morphs. Few studies have investigated the variations in mycorrhizal symbiosis across the sexual morphs of trimorphic plant populations. Here, we report seasonal variations in the

Morphological variation in the flowers of Jacaratia mexicana A. DC. (Caricaceae), a subdioecious tree

Plant Biology, 2009
AbstractThe Caricaceae is a small family of tropical trees and herbs in which most species are dioecious. In the present study, we extend our previous work on dioecy in the Caricaceae, characterising the morphological variation in sexual expression in flowers of the dioecious tree Jacaratia mexicana. We found that, in J. mexicana, female plants produce

Variation in Sexual Expression in Jacaratia mexicana (Caricaceae) in Southern Mexico: Frequency and Relative Seed Performance of Fruit‐Producing Males

Biotropica, 2006
ABSTRACTDioecy, the segregation of male and female structures among individuals, is widespread in tropical plants, encompassing 10–30 percent of species in some sites. In many cases, interindividual sex separation is not complete, as individual plants, although nominally dioecious, may produce both types of reproductive structures.
