Citrus (Citrus reticulate Blanco) is one of the most commonly consumed and widely distributed fruit in the world, which is possessing extensive bioactivities. Present study aimed to fully understand the flavonoids compositions, antioxidant capacities and in vitro anticancer abilities of different citrus resources. Citrus fruits of 35 varieties belonging to 5 types (pummelos, oranges, tangerines...

Various formulations of petroleum fractions in the light lubricating oil range provide efficient general insecticides for control of insect pests of citrus and have been used for this purpose for many years. The relatively low cost and high insecticidal efficiency of these materials make it probable that their widespread use in citrus culture will continue for some time. Many types of injury to...

most of the citrus fruits, especially in north of iran are stored in common storages. this experimen in oder to persevere appearance and internal fruit quality were conducted in the citrus research station at 1392, britex-ti wax, storage wax, polyethlene bag (individual fruit), polyethlene bag (pair fruits) were used alone and with combination with methyl salicylate (mesa) vs. control (without ...

Since 1974 the Decco-Tiltbelt Division of Penn walt Corporation has been conducting research programs on the experimental fungicide l-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2propenyloxy) ethyl]-IH-imidazole (Imazalil) at their Mon rovia, California Research Laboratory. Tests have proven the efficacy of this fungicide against postharvest diseases of citrus. It is especially effective in sporulation and deca...

Having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. In present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and RAPD markers. Significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

In a previous study we found that 50% ethanol extracts of immature fruits of Citrus unshiu (satsuma mandarin) have anti-allergic effects against the Type I, II and IV allergic reactions. However, many adverse interactions between citrus fruit, especially grapefruit juice, and drugs have been reported due to the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities. The purpose of this study was to exa...

Kelly’s citrus thrips is one of the most common thrips species found in Cyprus citrus orchards. Kelly’s citrus thrips larvae were the sole insect stage causing feeding damage mainly on immature lemon and grapefruit fruits. Under Cyprus conditions Kelly’s citrus thrips adults prefer to concentrate mostly in the northern and eastern sides of both lemon and grapefruit canopies. The recorded mean n...

There is limited information on the effect of fruits on human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fruit juice on CYP2C9-mediated drug metabolism. Nine citrus fruits and eight tropical fruits were chosen. We investigated effects of the fruits on diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation and tolbutamide hydroxylation by human liver microsomes. Among th...

The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of 14 kinds of citrus oils and to test their biological activities. Citrus essential oils were obtained by steam distillation from immature fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)- flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Limonene (55.4% to 91.7%), myrcene (2.1% to 32.1%), alpha-pinene (0.6...
