| description | Black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) is a tree native to North America, and almost all parts of this plant have some potential use. This species makes up a complex of five subspecies with morphological differences distributed in diverse habitats. Several biological aspects of the species are currently being debated or remain poorly studied, hindering the successful planning of conservation and exploitation strategies for the species. This review aims to highlight its biological, cultural and commercial importance, and the need to include it in programs of sustainable genetic resources conservation and use. Seven relevant aspects to this aim were reviewed: subtle morphological differences among subspecies, undefined phylogeny, hypothetical variation in ploidy level, molecular variability, traditional and modern exploitation, domestication and ethnobotanical relevance, and potentiation of its genetic resources. This article argues that thre is the need of persistent and rigorous studies on these, and other aspects, in order to better harness the genetic resources of black cherry; and emphasizes that, in the near future, in Mexico the exploitation of the forestry and logging potential of this native species must be fostered. |

El capulín (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) es un árbol nativo de Norteamérica y casi todas sus partes tienen algún uso potencial. Esta especie conforma un complejo botánico de cinco subespecies morfológicamente distintas que crecen en hábitats diversos. Varios aspectos biológicos del capulín son tema de debate o han sido poco estudiados, dificultando la toma de decisiones acertadas con fines de su conservación y aprovechamiento. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo resaltar la importancia biológica, cultural y comercial del capulín, y la necesidad de incluirlo en programas de conservación y aprovechamiento sostenible de recursos genéticos. Se revisaron siete aspectos concernientes a este objetivo: diferencias morfológicas sutiles entre las subespecies, relaciones filogenéticas inciertas, supuesta variación en el nivel de ploidía, variabilidad molecular, aprovechamiento tradicional y moderno, domesticación y relevancia etnobotánica y potenciación de sus recursos genéticos. Este artículo sostiene la necesidad de darle continuidad al estudio riguroso de estos y otros aspectos, para aprovechar mejor los recursos genéticos del capulín, y enfatiza que, en el corto plazo, México debe impulsar el aprovechamiento del potencial forestal y maderero de esta especie nativa Instituto de Ecología, A.C. 2020-02-17 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Revisión bibliográfica evaluada por pares application/pdf application/xml https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/e2611866 10.21829/myb.2020.2611866 Madera y Bosques; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2020): Primavera 2020 Madera y Bosques; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2020): Primavera 2020 2448-7597 1405-0471 spa https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/e2611866/2041 https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/e2611866/2048 Derechos de autor 2020 Madera y Bosques http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 |
