Factors affecting seed production in Pseudotsuga macrolepis flous in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico

The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of pollination and insects incidence in both quality and quantity of seeds of Pseudotsuga macrolepis available for its natural regeneration in the Western portion of Sierra de Pachuca, state of Hidalgo. Pollination and insects incidence were con...

description The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of pollination and insects incidence in both quality and quantity of seeds of Pseudotsuga macrolepis available for its natural regeneration in the Western portion of Sierra de Pachuca, state of Hidalgo. Pollination and insects incidence were controlled experimentally. Results appear to indicate that some seeds were developed through parthenogenesis. In addition, ineffective pollination and attack of insects can decrease the amount of potential and produced seeds. Because there are practically no seeds for natural regeneration, we conclude that an artificial repopulation of P. macrolepis is necessary.

El propósito de este trabajo fue investigar el efecto de la polinización y la incidencia de insectos en la calidad y cantidad de las semillas de Pseudotsuga macrolepis, disponibles para su regeneración en la porción occidental de la Sierra de Pachuca, Hgo. La polinización y la incidencia de insectos fueron controladas experimentalmente. Los resultados evidencian que algunas semillas pudieron haber sido desarrolladas por partenogénesis y que la polinización ineficiente y el ataque de insectos pueden disminuir la cantidad de semillas potenciales y producidas. Debido a que prácticamente no existen semillas para la regeneración natural de P. macrolepis, se plantea la necesidad de una repoblación artificial de dicha especie.
