The objective of the present research was to perform a morphological characterization of 83 native populations of the Ratón race and identify a subset that will represent diversity. Populations were evaluated in replicated experiments at two different locations with two planting dates per location. Twenty-six quantitative characters of the plant, tassel, ear and grain were recorded, and 14 additional characters (indices) were calculated as relationships among characters. Phenotypic diversity was examined by principal component and cluster analyses. Differences (p ≤ 0.01, p ≤ 0.05) among environments were found for 28 characters and (p ≤ 0.01) among populations for all characters, due to variation in environments and diversity among populations, respectively. Also, differences were found (p ≤ 0.01, p ≤ 0.05) in 38 of the 40 characters in the populations × environments interaction, as a differential response of the populations in the environments. Based on the repeatability index (r > 1.0), 10 characters and nine indices less influenced by the environment were selected for classification. The first two components explained 53.3 % of the total variation and it was established that the vegetative, ear and tassel characters were the most important in describing the variation; this allowed to identify a pattern of diversity associated with the area of adaptation of populations in low - intermediate - transition areas, which reveals that maize variation is closely related to altitude, and temperature and humidity gradients. Based on the dendrogram, a representative subset of the diversity of the Ratón race in Coahuila was obtained, made up of 13 of 83 populations (15.7 %).","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75178962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to determine the effects of environmental factors along with artificial insemination (AI) service and calving on the gestation success of TM cows. Data were collected during 14 years, 959 records of AI of 155 cows in three seasons: hot-dry (HD), hot-humid (HH) and fresh-dry (FD). The response variables were gestation success of cows at first service after first calving (GF), first calving first to fifth service (GS) and global gestation success (GG). Model effects were ES, Tmax and RH seven days before the AI (PRAI), the day of the service (DAI) and seven days after (POAI); and days open (DO), cumulative milk production (MP), number of service (NS) and calving number (CN). GF was analyzed with logistic regression, and GS and GG with generalized linear models. Over 50 % of estrus occurred in the HH season. Tmax affected GF b1 = -0.13 ± 0.07 (p ≤ 0.05) and GG b1 = -0.08 ± 0.04 (p ≤ 0.05) in PRAI. There were no effects of ES, RH, NS or MP on GF, GS and GG for PRAI, DAI and POAI (p > 0.05). DO affected GG in PRAI, DAI and POAI b2 = -0.005 ± 0.002 (p ≤ 0.01). GG were as close to 52.0 % for the three seasons. Although with no statistical differences in multiparous cows (p > 0.05), for NS maximum gestation were 60 % at first and third, and minimum 40 % at fourth services; for CN they were 60 % at fourth, and 40 % at sixth and seventh calving, respectively.

The hypothesis was that the number of orchid specimens with naturally pollinated fruits, from the central zone of the state of Veracruz, Mexico, would be more than the number of specimens that do not developed fruit naturally. The objectives of this work were: to record the flowering and fruiting periods, to characterize the orchid fruits pollinated naturally or manually. The fruit collection sites were located within the municipalities of Amatlán de los Reyes, Fortín and Tlaltetela. The work was performed between January 2019 and April 2022 (39 months). Ripe orchid fruits were collected. Morphometry was measured by recording weight (g), length (cm) and diameter of the central region (cm), complemented with a photographic record. The greatest fruit diversity of these orchids was observed and collected during the month of March. Forty-two species and their fruits were recorded, which were grouped into 8 subtribes and 32 genera. The genera with the highest number of species were: Epidendrum, Prosthechea and Oncidium, each with three species. Three species bloomed for 11 months: Platystele stenostachya, Specklinia digitale and S. tribuloides.  The minor and major fruiting periods correspond to Specklinia digitale and Trichocentrum stramineum, respectively. Given the fact that in all three sites studied the greatest number of species and fruits is associated with natural pollination (27 species, 113 fruits), which exceeds the number of manually pollinated species (15 species, 51 fruits), it is possible to suggest that the largest contingent inhabits environments still compatible with the natural process of their reproduction in these sites.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"325 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80336209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty-three local kids between 1 and 30 days of age were selected. They were assigned to groups according to coat color (dark and light), sex (males and females) and age (1=1 to 10; 2=11 to 20 and 3=21 to 30 days). Pigmentation of skin, hooves, mucous membranes, morphostructural characteristics, live weight and 14 zoomometric measurements were evaluated. A predominant phenotype was found of animals without mammels, beards, without pigment in the skin and hooves, with horns, horizontal ears and pigmented mucous membranes. The highest values (p < 0.05) for live weight (PV), neck length and width (LCue, ACue), chest circumference (CPe) and flank depth (PFl) were found in dark kids. The highest value (p < 0.05) in ear length (LO) was observed in light-colored kids. When considering sex, the highest values (p < 0.05) were observed in males for all traits, except for length and width of face (LCa, ACa) and width of ears (AO), height at withers (ACruz), PFl and sacrolumbar height (ASL), which were not different (p > 0.05). When considering age, the highest values were found in all traits for group 3. All variables were positively and significantly correlated. The variables showing the greatest magnitude of change in the first 20 days of age are PV (+40 %), LCa, LCor, CPe (+15 %) and LCue, ACruz, PFl, leg length (+10 %), while between 20 and 30 days of age the magnitude of change generally decreases. It is concluded that coat color, sex and age significantly influence the body composition of local kids from northern Mexico, which may have implications in the selection and marketing thereof.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76481111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this essay was to identify the main researches/studies related to the herbicide glyphosate and record its impact on the biota, the environment and public health. In order to do this, a bibliographic search was carried out, limited to scientific articles in Scopus between 1980 and May, 2022. The search criteria were: glyphosate, Roundup®, toxicity, environmental impact, human health, water pollution, underground and surface water and nonpoint sources. A total of 1607 articles was found, with an increase of 178 % in scientific production in the last 10 years. The countries with the highest number of publications related to the topic of glyphosate were developed nations with intensive agriculture. Mexico is in sixteenth place, with 29 (1.8 %) scientific articles for the period studied, out of which only 17 % are studies in bodies of water. Based on the literature consulted and the co-occurrence map, the elements that are related to the impact on the bodies of water by glyphosate are the type of agriculture, location of the fields, rainfalls and the characteristics of the catchment area.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88598153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rheological and physicochemical characterization of three fractions of Agave tequilana cv. cenizo fructans without DOT, with different degree of polymerization (DP) was carried out to propose their use as an additive in the food industry. Fractions were obtained by apparent DP enrichment (DPa) by stepwise ultradiafiltration with 10, 5 and 1 kilodalton (kDa) membranes and classified on the basis of the enriched fraction evidenced by HPLC profiling with amperometric detector. The ultradiafiltrate of the membrane with 10 kDa, called High Degree of Polymerization (HDP), showed enrichment of fructans with high DPa ≥ 30, the one with 5 kDa called Intermediate Degree of Polymerization (IDP), presents enrichment in DPa between 10 to 30, these fractions dried by spray, showed a modal particle size distribution (D [4,3] < 20 µm). In the ultradiafiltrate of the 1 kDa membrane, called Low Polymerization Grade (LDP), fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and fructans with maximum DPa of 15 were enriched; this sample was concentrated to 72 °Brix. The glass transition (Tg) showed a DPa-dependent increase (LDP = 152.17 °C, IDP = 216.12 °C and HDP = 227.5 °C). Viscosity was dependent on the degree of polymerization, exhibiting thermo-mechanically stable flow behavior. The reconstituted powders exhibited Newtonian and flow-stable behavior in a concentration range of 2-50 %, temperature of 5-45 °C and pH of 2-9.

One of the main strategies includes antibiotic therapy; however, its use is limited since pathogenic bacteria present resistance to these drugs, which makes treatment against microbial infections difficult. Therefore, the hypothesis proposed was that ethanolic extracts of native plants from the state of Sonora, Mexico, can inhibit the growth of Gram (+) and Gram (-) pathogenic bacteria related to common infections in the livestock industry. The objective was to evaluate the phytochemical and antimicrobial profile of native plants from the state of Sonora, Mexico. In this study, 17 ethanolic extracts were obtained from native plants of Sonora, and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated by the agar diffusion method and by the microdilution technique using reference bacteria from the ATCC collection. The phytochemical profile was evaluated by spectrophotometry and the experimental design used was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment at 95 % confidence. The results showed that extracts of Prosopis velutina, Ibervillea sonorae, Populus alba, Ambrosia ambrosioides, Krameria sonorae, and Leucaena leucocephala were effective in eliminating Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028 (p≤ 0.05). In addition, these extracts presented the highest concentration of total polysaccharides, flavones and flavonols, flavanones and dihydroflavonols, tannins and total chlorogenic acid (p ≤ 0.05).
