Carotenoids are the main pigments responsible of the colouration of Citrus fruits. The beta-cyclization of lycopene, catalysed by the lycopene beta-cyclases (beta-LCY), seems to be a key regulatory step of the carotenoid pathway. In the present study, two beta-LCYs from orange fruits (Citrus sinensis), named Csbeta-LCY1 and Csbeta-LCY2 have been isolated and the activity of the encoded proteins...

Granulation (also called crystallization or section drying) is a physiological disorder in citrus that results in reduced extractable juice and sometimes vesicle shriveling. While segments appear dry, the disorder is not caused by drying, but by gel formation within the vesicles. Though many citrus varieties may develop granulation (i.e., ‘Valencia’ orange, tangerines, and grapefruit), it was a...

The practice of having PhDs employed by the university that trained them, commonly called "academic inbreeding" has long been assumed to have a damaging effect on scholarly practices and achievement. Despite this perception, existing work on academic inbreeding is scarce and mostly descriptive or speculative. In this research we show, first, that academic inbreeding can be damaging to scholarly...

The navel orangeworm is the primary insect pest of almonds in California, and egg traps are the primary means of monitoring this pest. A previous study found that the current use of 2-4 traps per 64 ha block usually is not sufficient to provide management information specifically for that block. In this study, we compare data from large grids of egg traps in varied commercial almond orchards w...

in this study, effect of irrigation duration on concentration of some macro and micro nutrient elements in ‘thompson navel’ orange leaves grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated as a factorial experiment in completely randomized block design. factors included rootstocks in three levels (poncirus trifoliata, citrus aurantium and troyer citrange (citrus sinensis ´ poncitus trifoliata)) and irri...
