Introduction: Based on the documents in traditional medicine regarding the therapeutic effect of Sour orange flowers (Citrus aurantium L.) on the nervous system disorders, this experimental study was conducted to evaluate the pretreatment of Sour orange flowers extract in preventing or reducing depressive-like behaviors induced by systemic injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats. Method: ...

Morphological studies showed that tree shape in Bitter sweet orange and Yuma citrange was spheroid with spreading growth habit and wide branch angle. Leaves were simple with dark green color, medium size and brevipetiolate in Sour orange while Yuma citrange had trifoliate leaves with medium and green color. Bitter sweet orange had the highest leaf lamina length (10.4 mm) than other rootstocks. ...

ABSTRACT Phytophthora nicotianae and P. palmivora infect and cause rot of fibrous roots of susceptible and tolerant citrus rootstocks in Florida orchards. The infection and colonization by the two Phytophthora spp. of a susceptible citrus host, sour orange (Citrus aurantium), and a tolerant host, trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata), were compared using light and electron microscopy. Penetra...

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is one of the most important cut flowers with fragrant buds. To prolong vase life of tuberose, proper preservative solution applying is necessary. For this purpose, two types of chemical and natural treatments were used. Applied treatments were benzyladenine (50, 100, and 150 mg l-1), the extracts of rosemary and Eucalyptus (12, 25 and 50%) and sour orange fruit e...

BACKGROUND Obesity induces endothelial dysfunction even in the pediatric age group. The possible protective effects of fruits and herbal products on the endothelial dysfunction of obese children remain to be determined. This study aims to investigate the effects of lemon and sour orange peels on endothelial function of adolescents with excess weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS This triple-masked, ...

The peel components of Mandarin, Sour lemon and Sour orange were analyzed. Peel flavorcomponents were extracted using cold-press method and eluted using n-hexane. All compoundswere analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-seven, Twenty-four and Twenty-nine peelcomponents were identified in Mandarin, Sour lemon and Sour orange respectively. They includealdehydes, alcohols, esters, monoterpenes an...

Citrus production with its many varieties is of importance since it provides economically important products for Turkish exports. Sour orange is a rootstock commonly used for propagating the different scion varieties. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of the rootstock accessions would be useful in order to improve citrus breeding programs. We studied genetic relationships and diversity o...

in this experiment, physiological responses of two citrus rootstocks [sour orange (citrus aurantium l.) and trifoliate orange (poncirus trifoliata raf.)] were investigated under in vitro salt stress conditions. this study was conducted on a completely randomized factorial design. explants (nucellar seedling obtained from seeds) of both rootstocks were transferred to murashige and skoog (ms) sol...
