Sooty mold fungi are often associated with honeydew which insects secrete while feeding on the plant. A great variety of these fungi occur in the North of Iran, especially on Citrus ssp which is one of the most widely cultivated fruit trees in this region. During last 10 years, several collections of these fungi examined and 15 species have been recorded. In this paper seven previously unreport...

conclusions orange peel essential oil did not reduce postpartum depression and anxiety. background mothers are vulnerable to mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, in the 6-week postpartum period after delivery. objectives this study was performed to determine the potential effect of orange peel essential oil on postpartum depression and anxiety. patients and methods this double-blin...

We present a new way to obtain large spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) in nonparaxial situations. We use near field of dipoles which contain all plane waves, both homogeneous and evanescent. We base SHEL on dipole-dipole interaction initiated energy transfer (FRET), which we further enhance using plasmonic platforms. The spin-orbit coupling inherent in Maxwell equations is seen in the conversion...

BACKGROUND Recently, there has been an increased interest in the effects of essential oils on athletic performances and other physiological effects. This study aimed to assess the effects of Citrus sinensis flower and Mentha spicata leaves essential oils inhalation in two different groups of athlete male students on their exercise performance and lung function. METHODS Twenty physical educati...

The present study observed the resistance to reinfection with Clonorchis sinensis in various experimental animals including mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs, as well as rats and hamsters. The resistance rates to reinfection in rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs were 79.7%, 58.0%, -12.6%, 54.8%, 62.6%, and 6.0%, respectively. Worms recovered from reinfected rats and mice we...

Genome wide selection (GWS) is essential for the genetic improvement of perennial species such as Citrus because of its ability to increase gain per unit time and to enable the efficient selection of characteristics with low heritability. This study assessed GWS efficiency in a population of Citrus and compared it with selection based on phenotypic data. A total of 180 individual trees from a c...

ABSTRACT Citriculture is a growing industry in Pará state, Brazil, but information regarding fruit flies and their associated parasitoids this region lacking. To address gap knowledge, we collected oranges (Citrus sinensis), lime (C. common sweet limes limettioides), citrons medica) mandarins reticulata). We recorded field infestation by Anastrepha obliqua C. sinensis under natural conditions f...

Here, we provide the data from a comparative proteomics approach used to investigate the response of boron (B)-tolerant 'Xuegan' (Citrus sinensis) and B-intolerant 'Sour pummelo' (Citrus grandis) leaves to B-toxicity. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technique, we identified 50 and 45 protein species with a fold change of more than 1.5 and a P-value of less than 0.05 from B-toxi...
