Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as greening, is a destructive disease of citrus that may limit production of this crop in many parts of Asia, Africa and South America. HLB is caused by a non-culturable phloem-limited bacterium of the genus ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter’. Three Candidatus species of Liberibacter, namely, ‘ Ca . L. asiaticus’, ‘ Ca . L. africanus’ and ‘ Ca . L. americanus’, have been...

The performance of twenty four 6-8 week old apparently healthy male and female weanling rabbits mixed breed fed diets treated with aflatoxin, which contained 5% sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit peel meal was evaluated in an 8 feeding trial. Sweet peels were collected from sellers, sun-dried milled. Fungal strain Aspergillus flavus cultured inoculated into groundnut cake to produce aflatoxin...

We have categorized the dataset from content and emission of terpene volatiles of peel and juice in both Navelina and Pineapple sweet orange cultivars in which D-limonene was either up- (S), down-regulated (AS) or non-altered (EV; control) ("Impact of D-limonene synthase up- or down-regulation on sweet orange fruit and juice odor perception"(A. Rodríguez, J.E. Peris, A. Redondo, T. Shimada, E. ...

Globular and crystalloid chromoplasts were observed to be region specifically formed in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) flesh and converted from amyloplasts during fruit maturation, which was associated with the composition of specific carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes. Subsequent isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomic analyse...

Genetic modification, including plant breeding, has been widely used to improve crop yield and quality, as well as to increase disease resistance. Targeted genome engineering is expected to contribute significantly to future varietal improvement, and genome editing technologies using zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly ...
