Abstract excerpt
Agave tequilana is native to Mexico and is famous for its use in the production of the alcoholic beverage tequila. The crop is extremely prone to insects and diseases, and a breeding programme for selection and conservation is required. Moreover, poorly understood classification of agave varieties and the limited availability of molecular data represent a big hurdle in its genetic research and improvement. Retrotr...
