Sheep farming generates the annual underproduction of thousands of tons of sheep's wool. The main use of this fiber is for the manufacture of yarns, however, in recent years this material has been undervalued, so improper handling for its disposal represents a potential environmental risk. Its high protein content of wool (95-98%), has promoted the...

Painteria leptophylla (DC.) Britton y Rose es una planta poco estudiada, que debido a las condiciones ambientales en las que se desarrolla puede ser utilizada en la restauración ecológica de zonas áridas y semiáridas. Las semillas de esta especie son consumidas por escarabajos de la familia Bruchidae. Se identificaron las especies que se alimentan...

Abstract Agricultural wastes are an environmental and economic problem that countries must strive to solve as soon as possible. White-rot fungi can take advantage of these wastes through an efficient process involving the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials. Therefore, this work has used pine needles (Pinus pseudostrobus) and nutshells (Cary...

Alkaline soils with low buffering capacity are susceptible to amendments such as biochar or biofertilizers, which could drastically alter their pH. For that, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a low biochar and biofertilizer addition to improve soil characteristics and the use of nutrients to reduce the doses of chemical fertilizer....

Purpose In this work we studied two approaches for the revalorization of corn stover (CS): Feedstock for bioethanol generation and substrate for the production of biocatalysts. The practical application of two of these biocatalysts (laccases and cellulases) was also evaluated. Methods The hydrolysis of CS was improved through a pretreatment with t...

Trichoderma species are fungi widely employed as plant-growth-promoting agents and for biological control. Several commercial and laboratory-made solid formulations for mass production of Trichoderma have been reported. In this study, we evaluated a solid kaolin-based formulation to promote the absortion/retention of Trichoderma asperellum in the s...

The genus Agave (Asparagaceae) consists of 273 species, of which 75% grow in Mexico (García & Galván 1995). These plants have branched roots, a thick cuticle (depending on the species), succulent leaves with sunken stomata, and CAM metabolism (Dominguez et al. 2008). They provide an environmental and an agro-ecological service in the semi-desert ar...

The effect of climate change on agriculture and its implications on food security are demanding topics. It is crucial to convert the existing methods of food production into a more sustainable, resilient and productive agriculture. Reduction of food loss and waste will improve the efficiency of the food system, and simultaneously it will reduce the...

DNA barcoding constitutes a fundamental tool for species identification, especially for highly diverse geographic regions. Here, we characterize and evaluate the plant core barcoding regions matK and rbcL to identify the 25 conifer species from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, including 10 species in various threat categories. Sequence quality, lingui...

In this study, the endophytic capacity of B. bassiana was determined for two barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties, Josefa and Esmeralda, inoculated with a seedling immersion at three different concentrations (1 × 10^6, 1 × 10^7 and 1 × 10^8 conidia/mL). Seedling length and chlorophyll content were found to be not affected when inoculated with the ent...

Due to their sessile condition, plants have developed sensitive, fast, and effective ways to contend with environmental changes. These mechanisms operate as informational wires conforming extensive and intricate networks that are connected in several points. The responses are designed as pathways orchestrated by molecules that are transducers of pr...
