Green chemistry methods for production of nanoparticles have many advantages, such as ease of use, which makes the methods desirable and economically viable. The aim of the present work was to green synthesise silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using aqueous tangerine peel extract in different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2). The formed SNPs were characterised using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotomet...

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) represent a threat to fruit growing worldwide, mainly the citrus culture, however, biological studies show that fruit flies are not perfectly adapted to this host. This study investigated oviposition of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) and its relation with the pericarp of citrus fruits. We evaluated the relatio...

Abstract The use of rootstocks provides choices to growers increase fruit quality and yield, obtain high-density planting, avoid juvenility, control tree size. choice rootstock for a citrus orchard was an important consideration. aim the study evaluate effects on leaf mineral composition physiology commercial cultivars (‘ Pontianak ’ tangerine, ‘ Pamindo pamelo Montaji lemon). For this purpose,...

The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces the A. citri toxin (ACT) and is the causal agent of citrus brown spot that results in significant yield losses worldwide. Both the production of ACT and the ability to detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for A. alternata pathogenicity in citrus. In this study, we report the 34.41 Mb genome sequence of strain Z7 of the tang...

A detailed study of the distribution of egg masses of Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) and H. liturata Ball was done across a 2-yr period (2001-2003) on six host plants in southern California (Marsh grapefruit, Lisbon lemon, Washington navel, Dancy tangerine, rough lemon, and jojoba in Riverside; jojoba in Desert Center). The majority of egg masses in Riverside belonged to H. vitripennis (84-10...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit juice on the pharmacokinetic pattern of cyclosporine A in rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups to receive water, orange, tangerine, or grapefruit juices respectively. Water or juices (10 ml/kg) were given orally twice a day for 3 days. Three hours after the 5 dose, cyclosporine ...

The suppression of Meloidogyne incognita by marigolds differed among six marigold cultivars and five soil temperatures. Tagetes signata (syn. T. tenuifolia) cv. Tangerine Gem and the Tagetes hybrid Polynema allowed reproduction and root galling when grown at 30 degrees C, and should not be used for control of M. incognita at temperatures close to 30 degrees C. Tagetes patula cultivars Single Go...

Invisible devices supporting events that occur largely on the periphery of awareness are key features in the realisation of Weiser’s vision of a future in which computers disappear into the fabric of our homes, leisureand workplaces. It is easy to get absorbed by the technological challenges ahead. However, it is important to remember that not all of the ubiquitous media solutions to the issues...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...
