Vegetative characters of Agave landraces used for the production of pulque in Tlaxcala.

<p>Raw data of 19 morphological variables of vegetative characters of nine Agave landraces (N=478 individuals) used for the production of pulque in 10 localities of Tlaxcala. These data were used to analyze and describe the morphological diversity of these varieties.</p> <p>Nine&nbsp;<em>Agave</em>&nbsp;landraces used for pulque production in 10 localities Tlaxcala were analyzed:&nbsp;<em>Agave salmiana</em>&nbsp;subsp.&nbsp;<em>salmiana</em>&nbsp;&lsquo;Amarillo&rsquo;, &lsquo;Ayoteco&rsquo;, &lsquo;Colorado&rsquo;, &lsquo;Chalque&ntilde;o&rsquo;, &lsquo;Chino&rsquo;, &lsquo;Manso&rsquo;, &lsquo;Prieto&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Xilomelt&rsquo; and&nbsp;<em>Agave mapisaga</em>&nbsp;var.&nbsp;<em>mapisaga</em>&nbsp;&lsquo;Palmilla&rsquo;. Twenty-two populations of 13&ndash;35 individuals were included in the study (N = 478 individuals). Both landraces and wild individuals were identified at the species and subspecies level&nbsp; following Garc&iacute;a-Mendoza&rsquo;s (2011) and Gentry&rsquo;s (1982) taxonomic keys. Twenty morphological variables were measured in de field between 2018 and 2019.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
