Background Copal is a resin of ritual uses in Mexico, extracted from several species of trees of the genus Bursera. The effect of traditional management on phenotypical traits of copal trees has not been sufficiently studied. This research analyzed the traditional management and human selection on populations of Bursera bipinnata, and their influence on the quantity and quality of the resin produced by wild and managed trees.Method Management of copal were documented through semi-structured interviews and workshops. Samples of 60 trees from six wild and managed populations were selected to quantify the production of resin during two consecutive years. Fresh resin was collected to identify organic volatile compounds through gas chromatography and Principal Components Analysis (PCA); individuals were classified according to the amount and type of organic compounds produced.Results We identified management strategies from simple harvesting to seeds planting. The criteria for selecting managed trees and seeds are based on the quantity and quality of the resin produced and on higher quantity of resin yield per tree, which were much higher in managed than in wild trees: 190.17 ± 329.04 g vs 29.55 ± 25.50 g, and 175.88 ± 179.29 g vs 63.05 ± 53.25 g for the production seasons of 2017 and 2018, respectively. Twenty organic volatile compounds were identified and the PCA showed that managed trees produce higher percentages of compounds associated with scent.Conclusion Traditional management of Bursera bipinnata involves selective pressures, which generate differentiation of wild and managed trees that may represent incipient domestication through of silvicultural management.

The present article describes the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils of B. glabrifolia leaves obtained in four consecutive years (2015-2018). The essential oils contained α-terpineol (17.9-29.7 %), α-terpinene (12.6-17.4 %), limonene (14.9-26.8 %) and β-pinene (2.1-16.7 %) as the most abundant volatiles. The essential oils and these volatiles showed a significant adulticide activity (p<0.01; LC <100 μg mL ) on the maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) with a 100 % mortality rate within a period of 5 h. Also, the essential oils showed a strong antibacterial activity on Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 (MIC, 132.7-173.6 μg mL ) and Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504 (MIC, 74.8-199.2 μg mL ). The assessment of the main volatiles revealed α-terpineol as the principal antibacterial agent (MIC, 78.6-149.7 μg mL ). Similarly, the essential oils exhibited a substantial in vitro antiproliferative activity on the human prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 (LC , 15.2-19.4 μg mL ), the human ovarian carcinoma cell lines OVCAR-3 (LC , 27.3-53.7 μg mL ) and the myelogenous leukemia cell lines K-562 (LC , 32.4-75.9 μg mL ). α-Terpineol (LC , 32.4-75.9 μg mL ) exhibited the strongest antiproliferative effect on these cancer cell lines (LC , 22.4-48.1 μg mL ).

Dyssodia decipiens is one of the seven recognized species within the Dyssodia genus, which has economic and social relevance in Mexico. Herein, we report on the volatile characterization and pharmacological activity of D. decipiens. The essential oils (2017-2019) contained verbenone (30.8-60.9 %), limonene (5.6-35.5 %), βcaryophyllene (7.8-19.8 %) and linalool (4.5-12.4 %) as major constituents along the studied years. Antifungal properties were probed on Candida albicans ATCC 90028, ATCC 10231 (fluconazole resistant) and five clinical isolates (IS1-IS5). Flower essential oils had the best anti-C. albicans activity (MIC 59.2-93.5 μg mL À 1), and limonene (MIC 125.5-188.4 μg mL À 1) and β-caryophyllene (MIC 104.3-184.2 μg mL À 1) were involved in this effect. SEM examination revealed that D. decipiens essential oils produced an evident lysis on the fungus. Mosquito repellent activity was demonstrated on Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses. The repellent activity of leaf essential oils (20 %) was effective within 1-5 h post-treatment (> 90 %) and it was stronger (p < 0.01) than that of commercial DEET. The evaluation of the four major volatiles (10 % each) produced similar results to those of essential oils. Finally, leaf essential oils showed a moderate antiproliferative activity on the lines OVCAR-3 (LD 50 56.5-85.7 μg mL À 1), and verbenone (LD 50 65.3 μg mL À 1) and β-caryophyllene (LD 50 43.6 μg mL À 1) were linked to this effect.
