The R2R3MYB proteins represent one of the largest families of transcription factors, which play important roles in plant growth and development. Although genome-wide analysis of this family has been conducted in many species, little is known about R2R3MYB genes in citrus, In this study, 101 R2R3MYB genes has been identified in the citrus (Citrus sinesis and Citrus clementina) genomes, which are...

Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) transmits a bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) putatively responsible for a devastating citrus disease known as Asiatic huanglongbing (HLB) (citrus greening disease). The psyllid and disease have invaded many citrus-growing regions including the United States, where the disease is seriously jeopardizing the Florida citrus indust...

This review describes the relationships and links between culture collections, which act as sources of genomes, transcriptomes, proteome, and metabolomes, and fields of research biochemistry that demand their support and help. In addition, the invaluable but not always rewarded efforts of these organizations as a source and conservator of organism diversity is discussed. Biological waste-water ...

Citrus processing waste (CPW) pretreated under different times, pH and temperatures was investigated. Pretreatments at 160 degrees C for longer than 4 min with steam purging were needed to remove limonene, an inhibitor for fermentation, to below 0.1%. While hemicelluloses were solubilized well following all pretreatments at 160 degrees C, just 70% of the pectin was solubilized in natural CPW co...

Citrus is the largest grown fruit crop on globe with an annual production of ~110–124 million tons. Approximately, 45–55% whole post-processing generally discarded as waste by food processing industries. The a huge problem to environment in terms land and water pollution along displeasure from aesthetic viewpoint spread diseases owing its content fermentable sugars. can be utilized raw material...

The above background information indicates that -citrus, as the most important tree fruit crop, amply justifies international training programs such as this short course on irrigation. Your Florida hosts are to be commended on their vision and desire to serve citrus growers everywhere in arranging these sessions-especially considering that citrus in Florida was largely unirrigated until recentl...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has the ability to quickly identify the presence of specific carbohydrates in plant materials. The presence of the disease huanglongbing (HLB) in the leaves of infected citrus plants has a distinctive spectrum that can be used to distinguish an infected plant from a healthy plant. However, many citrus diseases display similar visible symptoms and a...

The objective of the investigations performed was to assess the antioxidant properties of the seeds and peels of selected fruits. The antioxidant activity as well as total polyphenol and tannin content were determined. The results obtained revealed essential diversities of the analysed parameters among the material examined. The peels were characterized by higher ability to scavenge free radica...

Siamese oranges (Citrus nobilis) are one of Bali's most widely developed citrus fruits, especially in the Kintamani area. contain many secondary metabolite compounds as a source natural antioxidants. In this study, plants were obtained through extraction method. addition to method, selecting type solvent is main factors affecting results. Polar solvents tend produce higher antioxidant activity,...
