Article Synopsis
- Agave (var. azul) has low genetic diversity due to centuries of vegetative propagation, making it vulnerable to pests and diseases.
- The study analyzed field-grown agave plants with different resistance levels to agave wilt, and confirmed significant genetic differences among them, although these did not match the phenotypic resistance observed.
- The research found that potentially resistant plantlets exhibited higher early levels of certain biochemical compounds, which were linked to better defense against the pathogen affecting diseased root cells over time.
We present a synthesis of the insects reported associated with plants of the genus Agave L. (Asparagaceae) in Mexico, through a detailed review of published records. This work includes two checklists: the first include the species of insects collected in Agave, name of their hosts, their geographical distribution, notes on their biology and, references.
