Brown spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata (Fr.: Fr.) Keissl is a serious problem forproduction of tangerines and tangerine hybrids in Iran. The Tangerine pathotype causes brownspot disease on young leaves and immature fruits of limited varieties of mandarins and tangerines(Citrus. reticulata Blanco). Specificity in the interaction between tangerine and the pathogen isdetermined by a hos...

To establish the most convenient and effective method to dry tangerine peels, different methods (sun drying, hot-air drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, and medium- and short-wave infrared drying) were exploited. Our results indicated that medium- and short-wave infrared drying was the best method to preserve nutraceutical components; for example, vitamin C was raised to 6.77 mg/g (D.W.) from...

Two-micron (thulium) laser resection of the prostate-tangerine technique (TmLRP-TT) is a transurethral procedure that uses a thulium laser fiber to dissect whole prostatic lobes off the surgical capsule, similar to peeling a tangerine. We recently reported the primary results. Here we introduce this procedure in detail. A 70-W, 2-microm (thulium) laser was used in continuous-wave mode. We joine...

In this study, the DEA–Malmquist index method was used to measure total factor productivity of citrus in seven major mandarin-producing provinces and tangerine-producing China from 2006 2020. Moran’s I test spatial correlation mandarin tangerine, its σ convergence β characteristics were explored using coefficient variation panel models. The results show that perspective time series evolution, g...

demographic parameters of the ladybeetle, serangium montazerii fursch feeding on citrus whitefly, dialeurodes citri ashmead were determined on two host plants, page tangerine and thompson navel orange. this study was carried out under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °c and rh of 60 ± 5% and a photoperiod of 16: 8 h (l: d). total pre-adult periods of the lady beetle were 20.84 ± 0.302, 19.27 ± 0.2...

Tomato sauces were produced from unique tomato varieties to study carotenoid absorption in humans. Tangerine tomatoes, high in cis-lycopene, especially prolycopene (7Z,9Z,7'Z,9'Z), and high-beta-carotene tomatoes as an alternative dietary source of beta-carotene were grown and processed. Sauces were served after 2 week washout periods and overnight fasting for breakfast to healthy subjects (n =...

HE red color of the cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. is due to T the carotenoid lycopene. LEROSEN et al. (1941) and ZECHMEISTER et al. (1941) first analyzed the carotenoids of yellow (rr) and tangerine (tt) strains, each of which differs from the red by a single recessive gene. MACKINNEY and JENKINS (1952), JENKINS and MACKINNEY (1953), and TOMES et al. (1953) have examined the ...

Genetic analysis of phenotypical traits and marker-trait association in polyploid species is generally considered as a challenge. In the present work, different approaches were combined taking advantage of the particular genetic structures of 2n gametes resulting from second division restitution (SDR) to map a genome region linked to Alternaria brown spot (ABS) resistance in triploid citrus pro...

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...
