Functional Attributes and Anticancer Potentialities of Chico (Pachycereus Weberi) and Jiotilla (Escontria Chiotilla) Fruits Extract [PDF]

Plants, 2020
Mexico has a great diversity of cacti, however, many of their fruits have not been studied in greater depth. Several bioactive compounds available in cacti juices extract have demonstrated nutraceutical properties.

Variation in chromosome number and breeding systems: implications for diversification in Pachycereus pringlei (Cactaceae) [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2018
Polyploidy, the possession of more than two sets of chromosomes, is a major biological process affecting plant evolution and diversification. In the Cactaceae, genome doubling has also been associated with reproductive isolation, changes in breeding ...

Orientación de las flores de dos poblaciones norteñas de Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum (Cactaceae) [PDF]

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2015
Varios estudios previos han documentado que algunas cactáceas columnares muestran orientación ecuatorial de sus flores. Sin embargo, se desconoce qué tan general es este patrón de orientación entre las cactáceas que producen flores laterales ...

Plant Responses to Anomalous Heat and Drought Events in the Sonoran Desert. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
What are the impacts of region‐wide heat and drought events on desert vegetation? This multi‐scale assessment shows that columnar cacti and succulent trees show acute plant stress across the Sonoran Desert. The expected increased frequency of heat and drought events will likely have landscape‐wide impacts that could fundamentally reshape populations of

In situ ambient vibration modal analysis of saguaro cacti (Carnegiea gigantea). [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise The structural and dynamic properties of columnar cacti are key inputs for stability analyses; however, no previous studies have been able to resolve these properties from full‐scale tests in situ. Methods I present an approach using non‐destructive ambient vibration data to measure the resonance properties (modal frequencies and mode ...

Marine subsidies produce cactus forests on desert islands [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
In island systems, nitrogen-rich seabird guano is a marine subsidy that can shape terrestrial plant communities. In zones of nutrient upwelling such as the Gulf of California, copious seabird guano is commonplace on bird islands.

The leaf-footed cactus bug is not a cactus specialist: Narnia femorata feeds, fights, and mates on thistle. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We recently found a population of the leaf‐footed cactus bug, Narnia femorata (Hemiptera: Coreidae), a historical cactus specialist, living on thistle. When we compared this thistle population with a population feeding on cactus, the population living on thistle had longer mouthparts than the population found on cactus, although this difference only ...
