Repetitions within a given genealogical tree provide some information about the degree of consanguinity of a population. They can be analyzed with techniques usually employed in statistical physics when dealing with fixed point transformations. In particular, we show that the tree features strongly depend on the fractions of males and females in the population, and also on the offspring probabi...

Detailed information about interspecific spatial associations among tropical tree species is scarce, and hence the ecological importance of those associations may have been underestimated. However, they can play a role in community assembly and species diversity maintenance. This study investigated the spatial dependence between pairs of species. First, the spatial associations (spatial attract...

Essential oil from Citrus aurantium and the monoterpene limonene are widely used flavoring agents that are found in some common food items. This specie is also used medicinally throughout the world to treat gastritis and gastric disorders. Therefore, biological assays were performed in vivo on essential oil of C. aurantium (OEC) and its majority compound limonene (LIM) to evaluate their effect ...

the effects of rootstocks such as 'sour orange' (citrus aurantium l. var. ‘yerli’), 'carrizo' and 'troyer citranges' (citrus sinensis osb. x poncirus trifoliata raf), 'smooth flat seville sour orange' (citrus spp. hybrid of uncertain origin), 'brazilian sour orange' (citrus aurantiam l. var. ‘brasilian’), 'volkameriana' (citrus volkameriana tan. and pasq.) and 'calamondin' (possibly citrus reti...

The study investigates the therapeutic potential of Citrus aurantium var. amara essential oil extracted from blossoms bitter orange plant by examining its chemical composition, thermal stability, and potency against infectious disease-causing pathogens. Initially, volatile components were evaluated obtaining a chromatographic fingerprint using HPTLC FTIR spectrum identification. Furthermore, pr...

ABSTRACT-Water stress is the main cause for crop yield reduction in the majority of agricultural regions of the world because it affects almost all plant functions. The effects of Glomus mosseae on growth, nutrients uptake, and antioxidant enzymes of sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and rough lemon) Citrus jambheri) rootstocks were assessed in sterilized soil under greenhouse conditions.  A three...

The current study was conducted to test the efficiency of vegetative part (plant leaves) plant species shrubs and trees involved in forming semi-artificial vegetation city Baghdad, Karkh, uptake accumulating lead element that pollutes air atmosphere. Five sampling sites were selected: Al-Kadhimiyah, Al-Mansour, Al-Ma'aml (Al-Salam district), Al-Adl, Al-Ameriya district intersections (Al-Seklat)...
