In vitro growth of explant (juice vesicle or albedo tissues) cultures from citron (Citrus medica), lemon (C. limon), grapefruit (C. paradisi), sweet orange (C. sinensis), and mandarin (C. reticulata) fruits was stimulated by addition of orange juice (10% v/v optimum) to a basal medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 grams per liter sucrose, 100 milligrams per liter myo-inositol, 5 mill...

BACKGROUND This work aims at describing the traditional uses, to determine the antimicrobial potential of two different extracts hexane, acetone of the leaves of Citrus unshiu, Citrus sinensis, Citrus limon, Laurus nobilis, Citrus paradisi on clinical strain of H. pylori in a bid to identify potential sources of cheap starting materials for the synthesis of new drugs. H. pylori strain was a cul...

INTRODUCTION A non-invasive liver function monitoring system, the LiMON, has been developed that measures indocyanine green (ICG) elimination by pulse spectrophotometry. The aim was to assess the relationship between pre and post-operative ICG plasma disappearance rate (ICG PDR %/min) values and the onset of post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction. METHODS 37 patients scheduled for major liver res...

In addition to phytoalexin synthesis, the defense response of intact Citrus limon seedlings against Alternaria alternata involves both constitutive and induced enzyme activities such as chitinases (Ch) and beta-1,3-glucanases (Glu). A alternata conidial germination was prevented by protein extracts from inoculated lemon seedlings, but also by extracts from mock-inoculated specimens. On the othe...

Turunçgil ağaçları, verim artırmak, arız olan hastalıklardan ağaçları korumak ya da ağaca form vermek amacıyla belli dönemlerde budanmakta ve bu şekilde lignoselülozik artıklar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu budama artıkları olarak adlandırılmakta yakma dışında bir kullanım alanı bulunamamaktadır. Türkiye genelinde turunçgiller familyasında birçok tür bulunmakta olup ülkemiz meyve üretimi bakımından sö...

This study was carried out to determine the phenological, morphological, pomological, and yield characteristics of some standard quince cultivars.

There were statistical differences between cultivars years terms examined characteristics. highest rootstock diameter observed stem In study, fruit weight varied 334.91-3...

Based on a study of 1,100 specimens of the genus Agra (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Lebiini: Agrina) from Costa Rica, twenty-nine new species were discovered and are here validated and described: A. catie, n. sp. (type locality: Limon, Tortuguero National Park, Estacion Cuatro Esquinas, sea level, LN 280000,590500); A. catbellae, n. sp. (type locality: Cartago, Turrialba, 600m, 09°53'N 083°38'W); A. ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the in vitro activities of Ethiopian Thymus schimperi with other three hydro distilled essential oils against Dermatophytes (Tricophyton spp. and Microsporum spp.) and other pathogenic micro organisms. METHODS The studies were carried out using Agar disk diffusion method for screening the most effective essential oils and Agar dilution to determine Minimum Inhibitory Co...

Research on concept learning in educational settings has traditionally been conducted in the Piaget-inspired cognitive conflict paradigm in which students’ naïve conceptualizations are confronted with anomalous data or contradicting views or are paired with peers who have different views (socio-cognitive conflict). Inducing conceptual change has been extensively shown to be a hard goal to achie...
