Abstract

Pouteria campechiana (Kunth) Baehni, commonly known as canistel or yellow sapote, is a perennial fruit tree in the Sapotaceae family. This plant is used in Mexico and Central America as an ethnomedicinal; it has an important role in different biological activities; the main biochemical components of this species are flavonoids, polyphenols, and carotenoids. The review aimed to present and analyze the information generated on the germination and development of the P. campechiana plant until the transplantation to the final field. This was with the intention of summarizing the knowledge of how to reproduce P. campechiana plants that allows promoting the use of this biotic resource. This review elucidates the strategies for ex vitro propagation, the manual scarification technique, and the seeding position of the seed that promote the development of the root and plumule and how malformed root pruning improves the development of the plant, as well as the optimization of propagation and how root pruning of P. campechiana plants before transplanting benefits the natural association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; all this with the aim of improving the production of quality plants and the nutritional and therapeutic application of P. campechiana. Critical information about the discoveries and propagation strategies and their effect on the production of this multipurpose tree, which would help in the study of plants that have been underutilized but have potential.
