Morphological variation and reproductive biology of Polaskia chende (Cactaceae) under domestication in Central Mexico

2002-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The columnar cactus Polaskia chende, endemic to Central Mexico, occurs in the wild and in silviculturally managed populations where artificial selection for better edible fruits operates by sparing and favouring desirable phenotypes during vegetation clearance. Wild and managed populations were compared in morphology and reproductive biology to analyse if human selection has influenced phenotypic divergence, if it...
