To increase our understanding of the genes involved in flowering in citrus, we performed genome resequencing of an early flowering trifoliate orange mutant (Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) and its wild type. At the genome level, 3,932,628 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 1,293,383 insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels), and 52,135 structural variations were identified between the mutant ...

1. Indirect plant defences are well documented for the above-ground constituents of plants. Although less investigated to date, below-ground defences that mediate multitrophic interactions are equally important. Entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema diaprepesi) are attracted to herbivore-induced volatiles from Swingle var. (Citrus paradisi · Poncirus trifoliata) when fed upon by root weevil,D...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small, endogenous RNAs that play a regulatory role in various biological and metabolic processes by negatively affecting gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. While the number of known Arabidopsis and rice miRNAs is continuously increasing, information regarding miRNAs from woody plants such as citrus remains limited. Solexa sequencing was perf...

citrus is one of the most important fruit crops in iran. among the citriculture areas of iran, mazandaran province has the highest acreage (about 100,000 ha), production and number of varieties nationwide. unauthorized importation of citrus species and cultivars and propagation by growers and nurserymen have led to perpetuation and spread of virus, viroid and other graft-transmissible pathogens...

The chemical composition and functional activities of cold-pressed and water distilled peel essential oils of Citrus paradisi (C. paradisi) and Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck (C. grandis) were investigated in present study. Yields of cold-pressed oils were much higher than those of distilled oils. Limonene was the primary ingredient of essential oils of C. paradisi (cold 92.83%; distilled 96.06%) a...

'Hongmian miyou' (Citrus grandis L. Osbeck) is mutated from 'Guanxi miyou', with a different spongy layer coloration. Trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) is widely used as rootstocks in 'Guanxi miyou' grafting, whereas 'Hongmian miyou' is incompatible with available trifoliate orange rootstocks. To explore the reasons for the etiolation of leaves of 'Hongmian miyou'/trifoliate orange, anato...

in this research, the effect of irrigation duration on growth characteristics of thomson navel orange grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated in complete randomized block design in iran citrus research institute. factors included rootstock in three levels (poncirus (poncitus trifoliate), citrange (citrus sinensis  poncitus trifoliata) and sour orange (citrus aurantium)) duration of irrigatio...
