“…Additionally, the map of Figure 5 shows a comparison between the land areas available pattern obtained for the scenario 1 and preexisting JCL plantations reported in different Mexican studies and located according to authors criteria in high suitable potential lands. We overlaid geographical points where it has been described that JCL grows; 406 points correspond to living fences, common gardens, plant nurseries and wild populations; 68 points correspond to experimental and commercial plantations; 306 points were none of the previous, and were located mainly in Baja California, Durango, Chiapas, Colima, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacan, Morelos, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Yucatan [63,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. Based on our data and method applied it is detected that the JCL plantations could be relocated to medium available land areas.…”

A GIS Approach Land Suitability and Availability Analysis of Jatropha Curcas L. Growth in Mexico as a Potential Source for Biodiesel Production

Jatropha curcas L. (JCL) commercial plantations in Mexico, one of the most important JCL origin centers, have failed due to a variety of biological, political and technical factors affecting their productivity. This study explores feasible sites of JCL cultivation as a potential source for biodiesel production in Mexico, given agroclimatic and agroecological considerations. We propose a GIS-based approach for estimating suitable and available lands to grow JCL by integrating an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the ArcGIS software. Spatial analysis combined multiple data, different evaluation criteria, three land availability classes (high, medium and low potential) and took into account ecological, ethical, and political restrictions, and considering two scenarios with different restriction levels. Suitability and availability maps were generated using agroclimatic information (climatic, land use/soil, and climate change and extreme weather events risk) together with other socioeconomic factors. Approximately 15.3% of Mexican territory is available for JCL production yielding a biodiesel production of 9.683 Mm3/year. Amelioration of the available land is necessary to improve land selection. GIS-based analysis represents a first approach to establish a successful biodiesel project that avoids, competition with food or feed production, maintains biodiversity conservation, and promotes biofuel supply chain development. This procedure would also be applicable to other energy crops such as oil palm and Ricinus communis.

“…They have stiletto‐shaped mouth parts with which they pierce plant cells and suck out the sap. They can be found on the branches, stems, flowers, leaves and in the leaf‐litter (Mound & Marullo, 1996; López‐Guillén et al ., 2019). Because of the damage they cause, larvae and adult insects are considered pests of several crops around the world (Lewis, 1997).…”

Behavioural and electrophysiological responses of Liothrips jatrophae (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) to conspecific extracts and some of its identified compounds

This study investigated the behavioural and electrophysiological responses of the thrips Liothrips jatrophae to conspecific extracts and some of its identified compounds. We integrated four constituents of the insect's chemical communication: identification of the compounds from L. jatrophae extract, behavioural response to extracts and synthetic blends, morphology of the main olfactory receptors (antennae), and electrophysiological response of the main olfactory receptors of the antennae to extracts and to individual synthetic compounds and synthetic blends. Analysis by GC–MS revealed that the L. jatrophae extract contains a mixture of 11 compounds (perillene, tridecane, β‐acaridial, tetradecane, pentadecane, heptadecane, heptadecene, dodecyl isobutyrate, tridecyl isobutyrate, tetradecyl isobutyrate and hexadecyl isobutyrate). The major compounds were tridecane, pentadecane, tetradecyl isobutyrate and hexadecyl isobutyrate. When the thrips were exposed to the extracts, they exhibited an escape response, accompanied by other behavioural responses, such as rapid sideways movement and lifting of the abdomen and secretion of a drop at the tip of the abdomen. Morphology and distribution of the L. jatrophae antennal sensilla were examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The antenna consists of a scape, pedicel and six flagella. The microphotographs showed two types of sensilla: basiconica and trichoidea. Single sensillum recording (SSR) showed that the sensilla basiconica located in segment IV of the antenna were the most sensitive to the L. jatrophae extracts and to a synthetic blend, whereas the sensilla trichoidea did not exhibit electrophysiological response.
