Citrus plants are widely cultivated around the world and, however, are one of the most salt stress sensitive crops. To improve salinity tolerance, transgenic Carrizo citrange rootstocks that overexpress glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II genes were obtained and their salt stress tolerance was evaluated. Molecular analysis showed high expression for both glyoxalase genes (BjGlyI and PgGlyII) in 5H03...

Seedlings of the hybrid citrus rootstock, Carrizo citrange (Citrus sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata) do not uniformly limit development of the citrus burrowing nematode, Radopholus citrophilus. Variation in nematode population densities in roots of seedlings germinating from the same seed suggests that factors responsible for nematode incompatibility are not functional or are not inherited unifor...

Plants produce considerable amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with several biological functions, including protection against biotic agents such as viruses and their vectors. In citrus species, these metabolites can be related different susceptibility/tolerance toward the Tristeza virus (CTV), one main constraints for industry. The objective this study was to compare VOCs pattern fro...

in this study, effect of irrigation duration on concentration of some macro and micro nutrient elements in ‘thompson navel’ orange leaves grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated as a factorial experiment in completely randomized block design. factors included rootstocks in three levels (poncirus trifoliata, citrus aurantium and troyer citrange (citrus sinensis ´ poncitus trifoliata)) and irri...

A generalized concept in the Citrus genus is that highly polyembryonic varieties produce only a small number of hybrids. Small zygotic embryos congregate primarily near micropyle, while nucellar organize or away from micropyle. In present study, authors determined seeds, per seed, and largest embryo (LE) position five citrus cultivars: C35 citrange, Volkamer lemon, Amblycarpa mandarin, Minneola...

Drought is among the most crucial limiting factors for crop production and considered a major threat to food security. Rootstock selection an important approach drought management. This research was aimed study responses of rootstocks against stress examine impacts melatonin application on these rootstocks. Carrizo citrange, fying dragon, sour orange were selected current study. To test stress,...

Salinity is a major agriculture problem for citrus in the Mediterranean basin, which global producer region. Citrus crops are also threatened by emerging diseases such as Huanglongbing (HLB). The use of different rootstocks increases variability plant material orchards, thus preventing extensive damage caused abiotic and/or biotic diseases. In this work, we have evaluated salinity response five...
