Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,553 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fructan Content from Stem Juices of Different Varieties of Agave Atrovirens, Traditionally Used for the Production of Pulque. Production of a Sweetening Syrup by Chemical and Enzymatic ProcessingKaren Gott-Bravo, Arnulfo Pluma-Pluma, Victor Eric López-López et al.Agave atrovirens, the hardiest species of Agave in Mexico, thrives in tough, infertile soils and extreme temperatures across a wide range of altitudes, particularly in impoverished rural areas of Central and Northern Mexico. Its potential for agroindustrial use could offer a pathway to social and economic prosperity for many communities. Traditionally, A. atrovirens is tapped for its sap, known as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2025 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Xylitol from Agricultural Waste by Enzymatic MethodsMarie K. Walsh, Hussein Fadhil Khliaf, Khalida A. ShakirEnzyme catalyzed production of xylose from autoclaved and non-autoclaved wheat straw was conducted followed by bioconversion of xylose to xylitol using a Crude preparation of Xylose Reductase (CXR) from Candida guillermondii. Ground wheat straw (autoclaved and non autoclaved) was treated at 40 and 50°C for up to 9 h at pH 4.5 with various concentrations of xylanase (12.4 to 37.2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,655 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite
