A generalized concept in the Citrus genus is that highly polyembryonic varieties produce only a small number of hybrids. Small zygotic embryos congregate primarily near micropyle, while nucellar organize or away from micropyle. In present study, authors determined seeds, per seed, and largest embryo (LE) position five citrus cultivars: C35 citrange, Volkamer lemon, Amblycarpa mandarin, Minneola...

having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. in present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and rapd markers. significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

Male sterility derived from Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) has been used in Japanese citrus breeding programs to obtain seedless cultivars, which is a desirable trait for consumers. Male sterility has often been evaluated by anther development or pollen fertility; however, the inheritance and heritability of male sterility derived from Satsuma is poorly understood. In this study, we investiga...

The levels of the flavanones naringin, hesperidin, narirutin, eriocitrin, neohesperidin and neoeriocitrin, and the flavone diosmin were evaluated in fruits of several exotic citrus (citron, pummelo, sour orange, papeda, mandarin and lemon). The highest total flavonoid content was detected in sour oranges and mandarins, while low to non-detectable levels were found in pummelo, papeda, citron, an...

This paper studied the similarity and dissimilarity for stress patterns between standard and various dialects of Mandarin, focusing on pitch and duration pattern comparison. We analyzed the distribution, pitch and duration patterns for stressed dissyllabic words in Cantonese, Cantonese-spoken Mandarin and Standard Mandarin. For isolated dissyllabic words, it was shown that there was a preferenc...

Late-season mandarins are normally cold-stored to prolong the commercial season. Thus, it is necessary investigate poststorage consumer acceptance predict potential success of new late-season mandarin varieties on market. The aim present work was evaluate response three cultivars preselected in IVIA breeding programme (Omet, Matiz and Tri-703) after different cold storage periods. were compared...

Tocopherols are plant-derived isoprenoids with potent antioxidant activity, which have been implicated in the tolerance of plants to different stresses. However, tocopherol accumulation and biosynthesis fruit, their potential implication postharvest chilling injury (CI), has scarcely studied. Therefore, this work, we investigated peel mandarin fruit three cultivars contrasting susceptibility CI...

Previous research has mainly considered the impact of tone-language experience on ability to discriminate linguistic pitch, but proficient bilingual listening requires differential processing of sound variation in each language context. Here, we ask whether Mandarin-English bilinguals, for whom pitch indicates word distinctions in one language but not the other, can process pitch differently in...

This study compared tone sensitivity in monolingual and bilingual infants in a novel word learning task. Tone language learning infants (Experiment 1, Mandarin monolingual; Experiment 2, Mandarin-English bilingual) were tested with Mandarin (native) or Thai (non-native) lexical tone pairs which contrasted static vs. dynamic (high vs. rising) tones or dynamic vs. dynamic (rising vs. falling) ton...

Abstract In this study, samples of mandarin-like hybrids (Clemenvilla, Nadorcott and Ortanique) from two harvesting seasons (2017−2018 2018−2019) were analyzed, to evaluate its differences in physicochemical characteristics nutritional properties establish the parameters that allow classify these citrus cultivars. Results showed Clemenvilla juice had highest concentration total phenolic ascorbi...
