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

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. Nine <em>Agave</em> landraces used for pulque production in 10 localities Tlaxcala were analyzed: <em>Agave salmiana</em> subsp. <em>salmiana</em> ‘Amarillo’, ‘Ayoteco’, ‘Colorado’, ‘Chalqueño’, ‘Chino’, ‘Manso’, ‘Prieto’, and ‘Xilomelt’ and <em>Agave mapisaga</em> var. <em>mapisaga</em> ‘Palmilla’. Twenty-two populations of 13–35 individuals were included in the study (N = 478 individuals). Both landraces and wild individuals were identified at the species and subspecies level following García-Mendoza’s (2011) and Gentry’s (1982) taxonomic keys. Twenty morphological variables were measured in de field between 2018 and 2019.
