BACKGROUND AND AIMS An intense pollen-pistil interaction precedes fertilization. This interaction is of particular relevance in agronomically important species where seeds or fruits are the edible part. Over time some agronomically species have been selected for the ability to produce fruit without seeds. While this phenomenon is critical for commercial production in some species, very little i...

Segment membranes from 4 citrus species selected from 4 sections were treated with water to obtain polysaccharides containing pectin. The extracts, which inhibited pancreatic lipase activity in a concentration-dependent manner, were divided into high molecular weight fractions [molecular weight (M.W.) >300,000], which inhibited the activity strongly, and low molecular weight fractions (M.W. <30...

Digital image processing is employed in numerous areas of biology to identify and analyse problems. This approach aims to use image processing techniques for citrus canker disease detection through leaf inspection. Citrus canker is a severe bacterium-based citrus plant disease. The symptoms of citrus canker disease typically occur in the leaves, branches, fruits and thorns. The leaf images show...

Citrus fruits contain two groups of flavonoid glycosides that have either rutinose (L-rhamnopyranosyl-ct-1,6-glucopyranoside) or neohesperidose (L-rhamnopyranosyl-:-1.2glucopyranosiele) as their saccharide components. Flavonoid rutinosides such as hesperidin. from mandarin oranges, are tasteless, and on the other hand, flavonoid neohesperidosides such as neohesperidin and naringin, from grapefr...

In orange-pigmented citrus fruits, the xanthophyll esters are predominant carotenoids, but their biosynthetic origin is currently unknown. this work, seven PYP/XES (Pale Yellow Petal/ Xanthophyll esterase) genes were identified in Citrus genomes, only PYP1-4 and 6 contained structural domains essential for activity. The expression profiles sweet orange other species such as lemon, mandarin pumm...

Increased fruit and vegetable consumption has become a health priority in many countries. Therefore, data investigating the influence of different types of fruits and vegetables on serum antioxidant levels would be useful. The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and vitamin serum antioxidant concentrations. Specific fruit and vegetable g...
