The objective of the present study was to evaluate seed and foliar phenolic composition from populations wild Phaseolus vulgaris Durango, Mexico. Seeds leaves extracts were analyzed by HPLC-DAD, UV-visible spectrophotometry. Analysis variance used determine capacity contents discriminate between samples, data submitted principal component analysis (PCA) cluster analysis. population with highest content compounds in both Nuevo Ideal those that accumulated lowest these Nombre de Dios Canatlán....
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, degenerative, and multifactorial disease characterized by hyperglycemia, at least 537 million people suffered from diabetes in 2021. Agave durangensis Gentry, species of agave native to the state Durango, reports phenolic compounds, flavonols, flavonoids, saponins could be an alternative for treatment diabetes. The aim this work was identify compounds leaves Gentry their potential activity leaf extract (EAD) ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass...
Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in world, with an important proportion endemism mainly because convergence Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic regions, which generate great diversity species turnover at different spatial scales. However, our knowledge Mexican ant biota limited to a few well-studied taxa, we lack comprehensive synthesis biodiversity information. For instance, available literature on fauna refers only lists by states, or focused regions country, prevents...
The family Verbenaceae hosts important species used in traditional medicine of many countries. taxonomic controversies concerning the specific delimitation several its make it difficult to guarantee botanical origin herbal preparations based on this family. To contribute development both chemomarkers and a quality control tool authenticate Verbenacea species, we determined foliar HPLC-DAD phenolic profiles antioxidant properties 10 wild occurring Mexico. contents phenols flavonoids varied...
The objective of the current study was to determine phenolic composition and carotenoid contents leaves, bark, fruits Malpighia umbellata, assess changes in carotenoids vitamin C its different stages maturity, evaluate antioxidant properties fruits. Leaves accumulated highest levels flavonoids (10.55 mg/g dry extract), tannins (21.16 (424 63 µg/g tissue); whereas, level total phenolics found bark (47.12 extract). content decreased with maturity Twenty-two were characterized by high...
Epigenetic modifications are key factors modulating the expression of genes involved in synthesis phytochemicals. The knowledge plant epigenetic and genetic variations can contribute to enhance production bioactive compounds. These issues have been little explored thus far Rorippa nasturtium var. aquaticum L. (watercress), an edible medicinal plant. aim current study was determine compare phenolic composition between wild cultivated watercress. Significant differences were found quantitative...
Background: Secondary metabolites are important chemomarkers. However, as a system to confront biotic and abiotic stress, chemical composition can vary, improving the phenotypic plasticity of plants. We determined potential foliar floral phenolic composition, carotenoid contents discriminate between two subspecies Fouquieria splendens assessed effect atypical environmental conditions on relict population . Hypothesis: hypothesized that differences have arisen analyzed in allowing...
Physalis ixocarpa is an edible species of Solanaceae. This one the few cultivated and economically important genus in Mesoamerica. In Mexico, several varieties landraces have been developed, which not molecularly characterized. current study, five RAMS primers were used to characterize assess genetic variability two three this species. The capacity these markers discriminate between them was also evaluated. With comparative aims, peruviana, most South America, analyzed same manner. results...
Purpose: To evaluate the inhibitory activity of 10 wild Verbenaceae species from Mexico against α- glucosidase and α-amylase.Methods: Ethanol leaf extracts were prepared. The α-glucosidase α-amylase was evaluated using enzymatic protocols. At least four serial diluted concentrations each extract used to calculate half-maximal concentration (IC50).Results: showed high inhibition activity, but a low effect on α-amylase. Aloysia gratissima (IC50 = 0.122 mg/mL), Verbena carolina 0.112 Bouchea...
Las hormigas son insectos eusociales de amplia diversidad funcional y taxonómica, con distribución mundial en diversos ecosistemas terrestres (algunas introducidas por el hombre), a excepción los polos picos las altas montañas. Se han descrito cerca 15.947 especies. En México, se conocen 927 dentro 93 géneros, para estado Durango registran 60 especies 25 géneros. Sin embargo, conocimiento Formicidae es escaso porque uno estados que menos atención ha recibido; esto, debido la carencia...
Antecedentes: El frijol común silvestre de Durango, México ha sido poco estudiado. Se determinó ex situ , la variación fenológica, morfométrica, germinación y rendimiento entre cinco poblaciones silvestres México. También se compararon in caracteres morfométricos las mismas poblaciones. Hipótesis: Factores genéticos ambientales han contribuido manera variable a diferenciación fenotípica silvestre. Especies estudio: Phaseolus vulgaris L. Sitio años Cinco localidades Septiembre 2018 noviembre...
Agave durangensis (Asparagaceae) sustains a mescal industry in Mexico. The main reproductive strategy of the species is by seeds. increased demand for agave-based beverages encourages producers to seek new cultivation areas. However, more than half territory country includes arid and semiarid zones, which are highly affected salinity. aim current study was determine if salinity triggers different seed germination potential variable biochemical chemical responses seedlings two populations A....
commonly known as agave cenizo, is an endemic
Las plantas silvestres han sido desde tiempos prehispánicos una fuente importante de alimento para los mexicanos. Un grupo alto valor nutritivo representativo estas y presente en la gastronomía mexicana son quelites, cuyas hojas, tallos flores se consumen tiernos. En algunas regiones México, como Durango, existe poca información sobre diversidad distribución especies quelites. El objetivo este trabajo fue analizar el estado actual del conocimiento relevancia quelites alimentación población...
The basidiomycete Hericium erinaceus is one of the most consumed edibles and medicinal mushrooms in world appreciated traditional Chinese medicine. In Mexico it known as lion's mane. biological efficiency wild strains H. cultivated different substrates Durango region, mainly agave bagasse, a waste from mezcal production, was evaluated. CCH003 strain Espinazo del diablo showed highest 42.33 % productivity rate 0.47 %, with total cultivation period 90 days three harvests. Regarding evaluation...
Enrofloxacin (ENRO) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are two antibiotics, which difficult to remove by conventional water treatment methods. The characteristics of the biocomposites suggest that they could represent an alternative for removal this type substances through adsorption processes. current study aimed determine compare potential formed with chitosan different concentrations activated carbon (AC) a particle size 500 nm, prepared from agave bagasse, enrofloxacin solved in water....
Epigenetic changes are involved in plant responses to stress. Cytosine methylation is one of the most important epigenetic changes, regulating gene expression. In this paper, MSAP (methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism) method was used find out how watercress (Rorippa nasturtium aquaticum) genome changed response 0, 60, 80, and 100 mM NaCl that affected phenylalanine ammonium lyase (PAL) activity, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity. The results showed an inverse correlation...
Diverse plants respond differently to similar saline conditions. The aim of the current study was determine variation in foliar contents phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and proline, activities catalase (CAT) superoxide dismutase (SOD) edible medicinal Physalis ixocarpa throughout three different times exposure (24, 42, 57 d) salinity levels (0, 90, 120 mM NaCl). specific effects salt concentration time were also assessed.
