Abstract Fruit bagging is a commonly used cultivation measure to protect citrus fruit from insects and adverse environments. The present study aimed comprehensively investigate the effects of on physiochemical characteristics grapefruit. grapefruit were bagged at approximately 110–120 d after anthesis with one-layer kraft paper bag black coating inside (SL), double-layer one as inner layer (DL)...

Background: Mosquitoes transmit severe diseases such as malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue fever, and yellow fever. These result in significant morbidity mortality humans around the world. This study aimed to provide information on larvicidal potential of different Citrus species peels against Culex mosquito larvae.Methods: Ethanol extracts four species, sinensis (sweet orange), reticulata (...

The juvenile hormone (JH) analog methoprene reduces the amount of time it takes laboratory-reared Anastrepha suspensa (Caribbean fruit fly) males to reach sexual maturity by almost half. Here, we examined if methoprene exerted a similar effect on four other tropical Anastrepha species (Anastrepha ludens, Anastrepha obliqua, Anastrepha serpentina and Anastrepha striata) reared on natural hosts a...

citrus is one of the most important fruit crops in iran. among the citriculture areas of iran, mazandaran province has the highest acreage (about 100,000 ha), production and number of varieties nationwide. unauthorized importation of citrus species and cultivars and propagation by growers and nurserymen have led to perpetuation and spread of virus, viroid and other graft-transmissible pathogens...

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) contain various functional components including flavonones (naringin, narirutin), carotenoids, limonoids (limonin, nomilin, limonoid glucosides), folic acid, aurapatene, and vitamin C. The bitter compounds in grapefruit are naringin (7-β-neohesperidoside of naringenin), limonin, and nomilin. However, narirutin (naringenin 7-β-rutinoside) and limonoid glucoside...

In Citrus L. sp., specific root length of whole root systems has been correlated positively with root hydraulic conductivity, but there is little mechanistic understanding of the causes for this association. The hydraulic conductivity of individual roots in relation to root anatomical characteristics in seedlings of three citrus rootstocks [sour orange (SO) (Citrus aurantium L.), trifoliate ora...
