Fruit thinning with specific reference to citrus species : A review

Fruit thinning is defined as the removal of certain flowers or clusters of flowers or individual fruitlets after fruit set and natural dropping have occurred.it improves fruit yield and quality and return bloom for the following year.There are three types of thinning namely:hand,mechanical and chemical.Chemical thinning is the most common type of thinning.Various chemicals are used for thinning...

Gene expression in Citrus sinensis fruit tissues harvested from huanglongbing-infected trees: comparison with girdled fruit

Distribution of viable Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) in sweet orange fruit and leaves ('Hamlin' and 'Valencia') and transcriptomic changes associated with huanglongbing (HLB) infection in fruit tissues are reported. Viable CaLas was present in most fruit tissues tested in HLB trees, with the highest titre detected in vascular tissue near the calyx abscission zone. Transcriptomic cha...

Methods for Reducing Acidity in Citrus Fruit

PRO-GEN® (arsanilic acid or P-G) has been shown to reduce acidity of Florida grapefruit as effectively as lead arsenate. A series of experiments in the 1987-88 citrus fruit sea son reconfirmed that P-G was effective for this use with con centrations of 600-1500 ppm. P-G is water soluble. However, deliberate attempts to wash it off immediately following spray application reduced its effectivenes...
