Abstract excerpt

The Opuntia genus has high diversity and wide distribution in Mexico; it has fruit (1) with thin skin and seeds surrounded by sweet and abundant pulp, (2) with thin skin and seeds surrounded by scarce or null pulp, known as dry fruits, (3) with thick, succulent, acid and edible peel, with seeds surrounded by sparse pulp, known as acid prickly pear or “xoconostle”, and (4) with intermedial characteristics between 1...
