Genomic analyses of wild and cultivated bacanora agave ( <i>Agave angustifolia</i> var. <i>pacifica</i> ) reveal inbreeding, few signs of cultivation history and shallow population structure

Abstract excerpt
Due to the recent increase in demand for agave-based beverages, many wild agave populations have experienced rapid decline and fragmentation; whereas cultivated plants are now managed at monocultural plantations, in some cases involving clonal propagation. We examined the relative effect of migration, genetic drift, natural selection and human activities on the genetic repertoire of Agave angustifolia var. pacifi...
