This study sought to characterize the effects of some citrus fruit juices (shaddock [Citrus maxima], grapefruit [Citrus paradisii], lemon [Citrus limoni], orange [Citrus sinensis], and tangerine [Citrus reticulata]) on acetylcholinesterase activity in vitro. The total phenolic content, radical scavenging abilities, and inhibition of Fe(2+)-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) production in rats brain ...

L-1) Synergic 3 6 ml. on growth characteristics Sour Orange (Citrus aurantium L.) local cultivar. A factorial experiment replicates carried ou...

In Southern California the Valencia orange (Citruis sinensis, L.) attains maximum orange rind color during winter and regreens s-omewhat by harvest time the following summer. The degree of regreening has been correlated with temperature patterns and with nitrogen nutrition (2, 5). It has also been reported (3) that applications of potassium gibberellate (KGA) to Valencia trees were associated w...

Colonization of wood blocks by brown and white rot fungi rapidly resulted in detectable wood oxidation, as shown by a reduced phloroglucinol response, a loss of autofluorescence, and acridine orange (AO) staining. This last approach is shown to provide a novel method for identifying wood oxidation. When lignin was mildly oxidized, the association between AO and lignin was reduced such that stai...

Due to increasing concerns about the development of antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogenic bacteria, alternative strategies have been sought that do not use antibiotics to reduce pathogenic bacteria from foods and patients. A natural compound that has potent antimicrobial properties is citrus peel, which contains a variety of essential oils that inhibit the growth of or kill pathogenic bac...

Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) is recorded for the first time in citrus (Rutaceae) in Brazil. Specimens were obtained from sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) sampled in the municipalities of Belém and Capitão Poço, and from mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata) from Tomé-Açu, state of Pará, Brazil.

Photosynthate partitioning was examined in seedings of sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and Carrizo citrange (Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf. x C. sinensis [L.] Osbeck) grown with split root systems inoculated on one side with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith). Source-sink relations were studied without mitigating differences in mineral content or ph...
