Tristeza, caused by Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), has long been present in Florida but outbreaks of decline on sour orange rootstock were occasional events until the late 1970s. Sour orange rootstock was valued for the high quality of fruit produced and was widely used because of its tolerance of citrus blight, a disease of unknown etiology. Research was directed towards the selection and screen...

Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae in the systemic leaves of citrus rootstock Citrus aurantium (sour orange) was reduced by 50% when a lower leaf was previously infested with c...

INTRODUCTION The use of herbal medicines including different types of tea is among the different strategies for preventing and controlling the side-effects of diabetes. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of sour tea and green tea on mildly hypertensive patients with diabetes. METHODS The present study was a randomized clinical trial in which 100 mildly hypertensive patient...

Channel optimized ve tor quantization (COVQ), as a joint sour ehannel oding s heme, has proven to perform well in ompressing a sour e and making the resulting quantizer robust to hannel noise. Unfortunately like its ounterpart in the noiseless hannel ase, the ve tor quantizer (VQ), the COVQ en oding omplexity is inherently high. Sample adaptive produ t quantization was re ently introdu ed by Ki...

UNLABELLED Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is present in many environments inhabited by pseudomonads and is likely most often encountered as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline, carnitine, creatine, and glyphosate. While the enzymology of sarcosine metabolism has been relatively well studied in bacteria, the regulatory mechanisms governing catabolism have remained largely unknown. We previ...

Sour water stripping can treat the sour produced by crude oil processing, which has effect of environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction. This paper aims to reduce consumption unit strengthening process parameter optimization. Firstly, basic model is established utilizing Aspen Plus, optimal determined comparative analysis back propagation neural network (BPNN), radial basis...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological indices sour passion fruit under brackish water irrigation strategies and potassium fertilization. carried out field conditions in São Domingos, PB, Brazil, using a randomized block design 6 × 2 factorial scheme, with treatments consisting six (irrigation moderately saline (1.3 dS m-1) throughout crop cycle - WS; high-salini...

ABSTRACT Sour passion fruit is a crop widely cultivated throughout Brazil, due to its adaptation the tropical climate. However, in semi-arid regions development limited by high concentration of soluble salts waters commonly used irrigation. In this context, exogenous application low concentrations hydrogen peroxide can attenuate damage caused salt stress. The objective study was evaluate electr...
