Prebiotic Effect of Agave Fructans and Mixtures of Different Degrees of Polymerization from Agave angustifolia Haw
Agave fructans are complex and highly branched molecules, which cannot be digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract. As a result, when they reach the large intestine, they serve as fermentative substrates for bacterial growth. Previous reports have shown that fructans of the inulin-type, through both in vitro and in vivo assessments, are effective prebiotics, increasing the content of bifido...
متن کاملNocturnal versus diurnal CO2 uptake: how flexible is Agave angustifolia?
Agaves exhibit the water-conserving crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathway. Some species are potential biofuel feedstocks because they are highly productive in seasonally dry landscapes. In plants with CAM, high growth rates are often believed to be associated with a significant contribution of C3 photosynthesis to total carbon gain when conditions are favourable. There has e...
متن کاملMeiotic restitution mechanisms involved in the formation of 2n pollen in Agave tequilana Weber and Agave angustifolia Haw
A cytological analysis of the microsporogenesis was carried out in the Agave tequilana and A. angustifolia species. Several abnormalities such as chromosomal bridges, lagging chromosomes, micronuclei, monads, dyads and triads were found. The morphological analysis of the pollen, together with the above-mentioned 2n microspores, allowed us to confirm the presence of 2n pollen as well as its freq...
متن کاملHighlights for Agave Productivity
Agaves can grow in marginal arid and semiarid lands where their special ecological and physiological adaptations to environmental conditions give them the potential to produce substantial biomass. Agave americana was the first agave species shown to be a Crassulacean Acid Metabolism plant, with CO2 uptake occurring primarily at night and with high wateruse efficiency (photosynthesis/transpirati...
متن کاملIdentification of the Temperature Induced Larvicidal Efficacy of Agave angustifolia against Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles Larvae
Synthetic insecticides are generally employed to control the mosquito population. However, their injudicious over usage and non-biodegradability are associated with many adverse effects on the environment and mosquitoes. The application of environment-friendly mosquitocidals might be an alternate to overcome these issues. In this study, we found that organic or aqueous extracts of Agave angusti...
