Effects of humic acid on some vegetative characteristics and mineral concentrations of Mexican lime were investigated under different salinity concentrations. Four doses of humic acid (0, 1500, 3000 and 4000 mg/kg soil) and four salinity levels (1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500 µmos) were applied on Mexican lime seedlings. Experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement based on a completely rando...

Because of sexual propagation of Mexican lime in southern regions of Iran, there are many lime accessions (lime biotypes) in Mexican lime gardens in which appear some variation in fruit and tree shape. However, most of these accessions are susceptible to witches broom disease of lime (WBDL). Persian lime (C. latifolia Tanaka) is a triploid WBDL-tolerant species. Considerable number of un-descri...

asiatic citrus canker is a devastating disease resulting in drastic economic losses in citriculture worldwide. amongst three different types of the disease, i.e. a, a* and aw, the a* type is genetically less known. in order to comprehend the behavior of the asiatic citrus canker a*-type strain (xanthomonas citri subsp. citri) in the vicinity of the host cells, a targeted semi-quantitative trans...

the effect of four citrus rootstocks {sour orange (citrus aurantium), bakraeii (c. reticulata × c. limetta, mexican lime (c. aurantifolia) and volkamerlemon (c. volkameriana)} were evaluated on sweet lime leaf chlorophyll content and mineral concentrations (n, p, k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, mn, cl, cu, and b) in a completely randomized design of four replications. budded sweet lime on the above root...

Mexican lime is one of the commercial citrus cultivars in the world, which is commonly used as a citrus rootstock in the southern regions of Iran. This cultivar is one of the most sensitive citrus cultivars to cold stress and is used as a cold-sensitive plant in many citrus studies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (0 and 500 μM), mannitol (0 and 50 μM), acetic acid (0 an...

in this study, the effect of four citrus rootstocks {sour orange (citrus aurantium), bakraeii (c. reticulata × c. aurantium, mexican lime (c. aurantifolia) and volkamerlemon (c. volkameriana)} on orlando tangelo leaf chlorophyll content and mineral element concentrations (n, p, k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, mn, cl, cu, and b) have been evaluated in completely randomized design with four replications. ...

BACKGROUND Witches' broom disease of Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia L.), which is associated to the phytoplasma 'Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia', is a devastating disease that results in significant economic losses. Plants adapt to biotic stresses by regulating gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently identified family of ...
