Population genetics of Escontria chiotilla in wild and silvicultural managed populations in the Tehuacan Valley, Central Mexico

2005-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Escontria chiotilla is a columnar cactus that grows in the arid and semiarid lands of Central Mexico and produces edible fruit with economic. In the wild, this plant species is distributed as part of thorn-scrub and tropical deciduous forests, but in the Tehuacán Valley also occurs in silvicultural managed in situ populations, in which people practise artificial selection enhancing phenotypes with larger fruits.
