Citrus are sensitive to boron (B)-toxicity. In China, B-toxicity occurs in some citrus orchards. So far, limited data are available on B-toxicity-responsive proteins in higher plants. Thirteen-week-old seedlings of "Sour pummelo" (Citrus grandis) and "Xuegan" (Citrus sinensis) was fertilized every other day until dripping with nutrient solution containing 10 μM (control) or 400 μM (B-toxicity) ...

A trial was conducted in a 7-year old citrus orchard of the National Horticultural Research Institute, Nigeria, to investigate the effect of different levels of organo-mineral fertilizers as it affect the economic returns of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck var. Agege 1). The treatments consisted of: (1). 10 tha Poultry 1 manure (PM), (2). 15 t ha PM, (3) 20 t ha-1 PM, (4). 0.45 t ha NPK...

In this study, we identified and compared nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domain-containing genes from three Citrus genomes (C. clementina, C. sinensis from USA and C. sinensis from China). Phylogenetic analysis of all Citrus NBS genes across these three genomes revealed that there are three approximately evenly numbered groups: one group contains the Toll-Interleukin receptor (TIR) domain and tw...

Citrus peel essential oils have an impressive range of food and medicinal uses. In the present study we investigated the variation in the yield and chemical composition of the essential oils isolated from fresh, ambient-, and oven-dried peels of three Citrus species namely Citrus reticulata (C. reticulata), Citrus sinensis (C. sinensis) and Citrus paradisii (C. paradisii). The hydro-distilled e...

Turunçgiller ülkemiz için hem üretim ve de ihracat bakımından en önemli meyve gruplarından biridir. içerisinde limonlar miktarı ilk sırada gelen türdür. Ülkemiz limon ihracatında İnterdonato, Lamas, Kütdiken Meyer çeşitleri yer tutmaktadır. Limonların kalite parametreleri ekolojiye göre farklılık göstermekle birlikte kullanılan anaç çeşitlerinin etkisi büyüktür. Ülkemizde yetiştiriciliğinde gen...

La investigación se llevó a cabo en un huerto citrícola de naranja Citrus sinensis L. Var temprana Marrs. Utilizando diseño bloques completos al azar con cuatro tratamientos y repeticiones, análisis estadístico Tukey 0.5 %, comparación medias. Los fueron (T1) el complejo hormonal Biozyme TF utilizando 25 ml como recomendación del producto 20 L agua, (T2) utilizó fertilizante zinc (25 ml) (T3) g...

Boron (B) toxicity is observed in some citrus orchards in China. However, limited data are available on the molecular mechanisms of citrus B-toxicity and B-tolerance. Using cDNA-AFLP, we identified 20 up- and 52 down-regulated genes, and 44 up- and 66 down-regulated genes from excess B-treated Citrus sinensis and Citrus grandis roots, respectively, thereby demonstrating that gene expression pro...

The alcoholic fermentative ability of yeast strains; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (isolated from yam), S. cerevisiae (from sugarcane molasses), S. carlsbergensis (from sugarcane molasses) and S. cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus (from orange juice) were examined on orange juice (Citrus sinensis). The quality of the wine produced on the basis of the acidity, ash content, vitamin C and the alcohol content...

We have shown in molecular basis that alcoholic tea aroma is mainly formed by endogenous enzymatic hydrolysis of glycosidic aroma precursors during manufacturing. Amounts of alcoholic aroma precursor and glycosidase activity in each part of the tea shoot (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cv Yabukita and a hybrid of var. assamica & var. sinensis cv Izumi) were indirectly measured by means of a cr...
