“…High altitude, low rainfall, and limited groundwater resources make most of the Teotihuacan Valley a high-risk area for cultivating maize, which was nevertheless a key crop for traditional farmers in the region and was thought to have been important in the diet of residents of ancient Teotihuacan (3)(4)(5). Although maize is a food of high caloric value, it contains only low concentrations of several important micronutrients and essential amino acids (e.g., B-complex vitamins, ascorbic acid, iron, calcium, lysine, tryptophan, methionine, and isoleucine) (2, 6).…”

Although in modern societies fermented beverages are associated with socializing, celebration, and ritual, in ancient times they were also important sources of essential nutrients and potable water. In Mesoamerica, pulque, an alcoholic beverage produced from the fermented sap of several species of maguey plants (Agavaceae; Fig. 1) is hypothesized to have been used as a dietary supplement and risk-buffering food in ancient Teotihuacan (150 B.C. to A.D. 650). Although direct archaeological evidence of pulque production is lacking, organic residue analysis of pottery vessels offers a new avenue of investigation. However, the chemical components of alcoholic beverages are water-soluble, greatly limiting their survival over archaeological timescales compared with hydrophobic lipids widely preserved in food residues. Hence, we apply a novel lipid biomarker approach that considers detection of bacteriohopanoids derived from the ethanol-producing bacterium Zymomonas mobilis for identifying pulque production/consumption in pottery vessels. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring (m/z 191) of lipid extracts of >300 potsherds revealed characteristic bacteriohopanoid distributions in a subset of 14 potsherds. This hopanoid biomarker approach offers a new means of identifying commonly occurring bacterially fermented alcoholic beverages worldwide, including palm wine, beer, cider, perry, and other plant sap-or fruit-derived beverages [Swings J, De Ley J (1977)

“…En el centro de México los quelites se consumen en ensaladas, sopas, caldos, capeados y hervidos (Bye & Linares, 2011;Linares, Bye, Ortega, & Arce, 2017), de hecho, existen múltiples combinaciones en la forma de prepararlos (Basurto-Peña et al, 1998), pero todas se enmarcan en dos formas básicas: quelites crudos o cocidos (McClung De Tapia et al, 2013). Los otomíes de San Pedro Arriba consumen cocidos el 72% de las hierbas tiernas, una técnica que permite aumentar su digestibilidad y palatabilidad, además de que favorece la eliminación La mayor importancia de los quelites radica en su valor nutritivo que, en algunos casos, es superior al de hortalizas comerciales (Mera Ovando et al, 2005).…”

“…Ejemplo de estos recursos son las plantas comúnmente conocidas como quelites, del náhuatl 'quiltil', palabra que se refiere a las hojas, tallos y flores de las plantas que se consumen tiernas (Basurto-Peña, Martínez-Alfaro, & Villalobos-Contreras, 1998;Bye, 1981;Bye & Linares, 2000;Mera Ovando, Alvarado Flores, Basurto Peña, Bye, & Lara Castro, 2005). Los quelites se incorporan a la dieta mexicana desde tiempos prehispánicos y tradicionalmente han sido apreciados como fuente de nutrientes, entre otras cosas, porque permiten contar con alimento en tiempos de escasez (McClung De Tapia, Martínez Yrízar, Ibarra Morales, & Adriano Morán, 2013).…”

Los quelites: riqueza de especies y conocimiento tradicional en la comunidad otomí de San Pedro Arriba, Temoaya, Estado de México

The rural communities of Mexico take advantage of more than 500 species of edible plants. Among these vegetables are the quelites, which are defined as plants whose leaves, stems and flowers are consumed tender. Quelites have been part of Mexican diet since pre-Hispanic times, particularly among ethnic groups such as the Otomíes, also known as hñähñus. In order to analyze the floristic richness, use and management of the quelites in hñähñus population from the State of Mexico, free listings, semi-structured interviews and botanical collections were made in markets, milpas and forested areas adjacent to San Pedro Arriba town, Temoaya. Sixty-eight species and 5 varieties of quelites were registered, from 29 botanical families. Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Apiaceae and Brassicaceae stood out because they presented more than four species. The use of quelites with herbaceous habit (89%) and developed in terrestrial habitats (88%) predominated. Thirty-seven species and a variety are Mexican native plants, the rest are introduced species and only Sicyos microphyllus (Chayotillo) is endemic to Mexico. All species of quelites are incorporated into the diet, especially cooked (72%). Twenty-eight species are also used as medicinal plants, especially for digestive and respiratory diseases. The quelites with the highest values of use, importance and intensity of handling were Chenopodium berlandieri, C. berlandieri var. nuttaliae, Brassica rapa and Medicago polymorpha. Wild plant collections were the main form of management (30%). The acquisition of knowledge is mainly at a very young age (6 to 12 years) and its protection is especially maintained in women between 23 and 55 years (69%). The use and consumption of quelites by the Otomí community from San Pedro Arriba is extensive and must be promoted, documented and applied before globalization processes lead to their extinction and to the species that support them.

“…The taxon Amaranthus and others such as Opuntia, Myrtillocactus, Chenopodium, Phaseolus and Zea have been important in different periods of history. This group of plants was the food base for the inhabitants of the center of Mexico during the pre-Hispanic period (McClung de Tapia et al 2014, Janssen et al 2017).…”

Background. Attention to amaranth grains has increased in recent years due to the nutritional value of their seed proteins, which have high levels of the amino acid lysine. However, there is no detailed study describing the stages of seed development in Amaranthus hypochondriacus. Question. How are the developmental patterns of the female gametophyte and young seed in Amaranthus hypochondriacus? Species studied. Amaranthus hypochondriacus L 'Revancha' (Amaranthaceae). Study site and years of study. Plants were growth and collected from 2014 to 2016, in a greenhouse at Instituto Tecnológico de Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. Methods. Glomerules were collected before pollination and two weeks after anthesis. The ovules at different development stages were fixed and cleared and were analyzed by light microscopy. A clearing protocol was used to observe the developmental stages during female gametogenesis and embryogenesis. Results. We observed that the Amaranthus hypochondriacus ovule has a campylotropous form. The female gametophyte showed a Polygonum-type pattern of development. We were also able to identify all the stages from the megaspore mother cell to the cotyledon embryo stage. After meiosis, the micropylar megaspore differentiates into the functional megaspore. The embryo did not show symmetric divisions, although the final pattern is similar to that of in eudicotyledons. The suspensor showed additional longitudinal divisions, giving rise to a 2-rowed suspensor, while the endosperm showed a helobial development. Conclusions. These results will be used as baseline to identify morphological changes during seed development and to develop new strategies to improve seed quality or increase the yield. ResumenAntecedentes: La atención al grano de amaranto ha aumentado en los últimos años debido al valor nutricional de las proteínas de su semilla con altos niveles de lisina. Sin embargo, no existe un estudio detallado que describa las etapas tempranas del desarrollo de su semilla. Pregunta: ¿Cómo es el patrón de desarrollo del gametófito femenino y la semilla en Amaranthus hypochondriacus? Especie de estudio: Amaranthus hypochondriacus L 'Revancha' (Amaranthaceae). Sitio de estudio y fechas: Las plantas fueron cultivadas y se colectaron entre los años 2014 y 2016, en invernadero, en el Instituto Tecnológico de Celaya. Métodos: Los glomérulos se colectaron antes de fecundación y hasta dos semanas después de la antesis. Los óvulos se fijaron y aclararon en diferentes estados de desarrollo, se analizaron bajo microscopía de luz en campo claro. Mediante un protocolo de clareo se logró observar todas las etapas de desarrollo de la gametogénesis femenina y la embriogénesis. Resultados. Los óvulos de Amaranthus hypochondriacus son del tipo campilótropo. El gametófito femenino muestra un patrón de desarrollo del tipo Polygonum. Se identificaron todas las etapas de desarrollo desde la célula madre de la megáspora al estado embrionario cotiledonar. Después de la meiosis la megáspora micropilar se diferencia en la megáspora funcio...
