Tracing the geographic origins of two forms of Opuntia ficus-indica cultivated in Argentina using haplotype diversity patterns, and cytogenetic and morphological analyses

2024-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Opuntia ficus-indica, commonly known as prickly-pear, tuna, or nopal, is a cactus species of economic significance. It is widely cultivated for its fruits and cladodes, used as both fodder and human food. The species would have been domesticated in pre-Hispanic Mexico. In Argentina, two forms are present: the horticultural (spineless, f. ficus-indica) and the wild (spiny, f. amyclaea) forms. The presence/absence o...
