Sinopsis:
Flow cytometric analysis of DNA content was performed using nuclei isolated from internal basal parts of young leaves in 8 varieties of Agave tequilana. A. tequilana varieties lineño, azul listado, azul, moraleño, xiguin, and pata de mula were found to be diploid (2n=2x=60). These diploid varieties displayed a 2.5% variation in 2C DNA content, wich ranged from 8.304 pf for var. lineño to 8.517 pg for var pata de mula. Triploid (3x) var. bermejo had 2C=12.513 pg. Tetraploid (4x) and pentaploid (5x) var. chato had 16.01 pg and 20.11 pg respectively.
