In tropical deciduous forests (TDFs), plants have developed various strategies to tolerate desiccation during the dry season. One strategy is osmotic adjustment, which includes the accumulation of secondary metabolites. Annona lutescens, a species that inhabits TDFs, increases and accumulates liriodenine alkaloid in its roots during the dry season....
Las plantas producen metabolitos secundarios, incluyendo moléculas de defensa ante sus enemigos naturales, entre ellos, los hongos fitopatógenos. Varios de estos metabolitos extienden su actividad hacia fitopatógenos de otras plantas. Estas moléculas son una alternativa para el manejo preventivo, control y combate de enfermedades de cultivos. Dado...
Annonaceae es una agrupación botánica que ha tenido naturalmente continuos cambios en su riqueza y taxonomía desde su descripción original en 1789. La presente revisión compila los descubrimientos de especies nuevas para la ciencia de la familia en las últimas dos décadas, con la tentativa de mostrar que acerca de la diversidad de las anonáceas, no...
The benzylisoquinoline alkaloids of Annona muricata have been isolated, but their physiological or ecological role is unknown. The objective was to explore whether these secondary metabolites are involved in defense against phytopathogenic fungi. To do this, the alkaloidal response of 6-leaf seedlings of A. muricata was analyzed, previously inocula...
El género Bursera es un componente característico de los bosques tropicales secos (BTS) de México y relevante para la conservación de estos hábitats, sin embargo, sus aspectos fenológicos son poco conocidos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo caracterizar la fenología de Bursera simaruba Jacq. ex L y Bursera tomentosa (Jacq.) Triana & Planch y evaluar...
Bursera Jacq. Ex L. (Burseraceae Kunth) es un género botánico prácticamente mexicano, ya que 94 de las 120 especies que la constituyen habitan en México, cerca del 90% son endémicas del país. Son plantas conocidas por producir resinas aromáticas y porque de sus tejidos fragantes se obtienen aceites esenciales. Las burseras enriquecen la diversidad...
Introduction:
Annona macroprophyllata Donn. Smith. (Annonaceae) (syn. Annona diversifolia Saff.) is a valued fruit tree species known as papausa. In Mexico and Central America, this fruit has become an important crop because of its tasty flavor and high pulp content. Its fruits are frequently damaged by the incidence of wasps of the genus Bephratel...

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El estudio de la fitoquímica de Annonaceae se ha intensificado en las últimas décadas debido al descubrimiento de metabolitos secundarios con actividades antimicrobianas. Las actividades inhibidoras de extractos y compuestos de estas especies para fitopatógenos son menos conocidas. Se determinó la actividad antifúngica in...
Background and Aims:
The phytochemistry study of Annonaceae has intensified in the last decades due to the discovery of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activities. The inhibitory activities of extracts and compounds from these species for phytopathogens are less known. The antifungal activity of Sapranthus microcarpus was determined in vit...
Annona purpurea grows in areas of low elevation in deciduous forests of Mexico, areas which have marked rainy and dry seasons. This species produces more than 30 bioactive alkaloids that could have potential in the control of phytopathogens. This research provides data on the variation of the content and number of alkaloids during an annual cycle a...
Several species of Solanum produce secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity. In the present study, the inhibitory activity of Solanum chrysotrichum, S. erianthum, S. torvum and S. rostratum against phytopathogenic Curvularia lunata was determined. Methanol extracts from roots, stems, leaves and fruits were evaluated by the method of myceli...
Las antocianinas son metabolitos especializados, del grupo de los flavonoides, responsables del color de varios tejidos vegetales. Pseudobmombax ellipticum (sospó en lengua Zoque) es un árbol originario de las selvas secas y húmedas desde el sur de México hasta Honduras. Se ha reportado que las hojas jóvenes de esta especie son rojas debido a la pr...
The aim of this research was to analyze and determine the organ-specific distribution of B. frutescens alkaloids and their activity against three phytopathogens, Colletotrichium gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum and Curvularia lunata. For phytochemical analysis, the alkaloids were extracted by the acid-base method and analyzed in thin layer (CCF)...
In plants, the presence and distribution of specialized metabolites during the early stages of development are not documented enough, even though their biosynthesis is one of the most important strategies for survival. In this study, five alkaloids and four acetogenins were detected in Annona muricata L. during early development seedling, including...
Resumen Las plantas de la familia Annonaceae están ubicadas en el Orden de las Magnoliales y su distribución es pantropical, aunque mayormente son neo-tropicales. En este artículo se sistematiza la información de los géneros y especies en México, encontrada en diversas bases de datos. En el territorio nacional se encuentran 60 especies ubicadas en...
Antecedentes y Objetivos:
Annona lutescens fue descrita en 1914 como una especie nueva conocida únicamente de Guatemala. Estudios posteriores permitieron localizarla también en Chiapas, México. No obstante, algunos autores la consideran como un sinónimo de A. reticulata, una especie de origen americano que actualmente se cultiva en muchas partes de...
Background.
Phenological descriptions of plant species are used to understand cycles of foliation, flowering and fruiting. These studies provide useful means for understanding the relationships between plants and their environment.
Question.
What are the the foliar and reproductive strategies of four species of Annona living in the Deciduous Fores...
Chemical studies of the plant family Annonaceae have intensified in the last several decades due to the discovery of annonaceous molecules with medicinal potential (e.g., benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and acetogenins). Approximately 500 alkaloids have been identified in 138 Annonaceae species in 43 genera. In addition, until 2004, 593 annonaceous ac...
Annona lutescens Saff. (Annonaceae) grows as a native tree in Chiapas, Mexico in Tropical Dry Forest habitat. Like most Annonaceae, it biosynthesizes benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, mostly liriodenine. To determine the influence of seasonal changes in the accumulation of liriodenine, the monthly variation of liriodenine content in roots, stems and le...
