Parra F., Blancas J. J., Casas A., Landscape management and domestication of Stenocereus pruinosus (Cactaceae) in the Tehuacán Valley: human guided selection and gene flow, Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2012, 8:32, doi: 10.1186/1746-4269-8-32
The study of Stenocereus pruinosus management and domestication in the Tehuacán Valley combines household interviews with plant measurements in nine populations. It examines fruit selection criteria, morphological diversity and movement of vegetative material among land management systems. Gene flow is considered in the context of observed practices and population differentiation.
