Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae), commonly known as bitter orange, has multiple therapeutic potentials. An experimental qualitative study was carried out with the objective of knowing characteristics consumption C. (CA) in Tabasco population. To validate its use, an ethanolic extract (85 %) prepared from dry CA leaves and phytochemical screening performed, subsequent quantification content total ...

Food waste is one of the main topics various scientific studies last decade. In this regard, work analyzed an essential oil (EO) extracted from flavedo Citrus aurantium ‘Crispifolia’ fruit. The analysis, performed by GC-MS, showed a chemically variegated chromatogram characterized presence limonene (33.35%), but also oxygenated monoterpenes such as β-linalool (7.69%), α-terpineol (7.06%), and g...

Citrus production with its many varieties is of importance since it provides economically important products for Turkish exports. Sour orange is a rootstock commonly used for propagating the different scion varieties. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of the rootstock accessions would be useful in order to improve citrus breeding programs. We studied genetic relationships and diversity o...

gummy bark disease of sweet orange (citrus sinensis) trees has been reported from a few citrus growing regions of the world. the disease symptoms consist of mild to severe stem pitting and brown gummy flecks in the bark of sweet orange trees on sour orange ( c. aurantium) rootstock, being conspicuous several centimeter above the bud :union: on the trunk. the pits were usually impregnated with b...

The acaricidal effect of seven essential oils was examined in vitro against the cattle tick (Rhipicephalus microplus). Engorged female ticks were manually collected in farms of Southern Brazil and placed into petri dishes (n = 10) in order to test the following oils: juniper (Juniperus communis), palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii), cedar (Cedrus atlantica), lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), ginge...

We compared value recovery of a modified tree-length (MTL) logging system that measures product diameter and length using a Waratah 626 harvester head to that of a tree-length (TL) system that estimates dimensions. A field test compared the actual value cut to the maximum potential value suggested by the log bucking optimization program Assessment of Value by Individual Stems (AVIS) for 25 fell...

The Legal, Ethical, and Environmental Issues of “Agent Orange Corn” and Genetically Modified Crops. This paper addresses the recent flap over the pending approval by the Federal Government of what has become known by some as “Agent Orange Corn” and the greater Genetically Modified Crop Debate by Dr. Albert Clark The Legal, Ethical, and Environmental Issues of “Agent Orange Corn” and Genetically...

Amazonian rainforests sustain some of the richest tree communities on Earth, but their ecological and evolutionary responses to human threats remain poorly known. We used one of the largest experimental datasets currently available on tree dynamics in fragmented tropical forests and a recent phylogeny of angiosperms to test whether tree communities have lost phylogenetic diversity since their i...
