Grafting is an important, widely used plant propagation technique but its physiological effects are as yet insufficiently understood. Recent studies indicate that movement of proteins and small RNAs through the graft union might be involved. MicroRNAs are known to play a significant role in regulation of higher plants’ developmental and metabolic traits. Extending this logic, we hypothesize tha...

Obesity is becoming one of the global epidemics of the 21st century. In this study, the effects of citrange (Citrus sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata) fruit extracts in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity mice were studied. Female C57BL/6 mice were fed respectively a chow diet (control), an HF diet, HF diet supplemented with 1% w/w citrange peel extract (CPE) or 1% w/w citrange flesh and seed extra...

Studies have shown that oxygenated compounds are important in beverage and food products. It seems that Citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on these factors. The goal of the present study is to investigate on rootstocks and these factors. Peel oil components were extracted using cold-press method and eluted using n-hexane.  All compounds analyzed using GC and GC-MS. Data were analyzed u...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the membrane integrity and some physiological responses rootstock citrus calli under exposure different concentrations NaCl. Selected salt-tolerant cell lines were compared with salt-sensitive Troyer’s citrange (Citrus sinensis [L.] x Citrus trifoliata Raf.) (TC) respect growth, water content, Na+, K+ Cl? ion content as well stability NaCl concentrations. r...

Troyer, Moscovitch, Winocur, Alexander and Stuss (Neuropsychologia 36 (1998) 499) used a procedure originally introduced by Troyer, Moscovitch and Winocur (Neuropsychology 11 (1997) 138) for distinguishing two different components of verbal fluency-clustering and switching-in frontal and temporal-lobe patients. Application of this procedure yielded results that suggested a frontal-lobe switchin...

suckers are strong sinks of water and nutrients, thus they have intensive competition with plant vegetative parts like scion of budded seedlings. this is an enormous problem of citrus nurseries in north of iran. as far as vast input and time is spending on control of these unwanted suckers. this research, that carried out in design, compares 10 different sucker control methods in three citrus r...

late ripening citrus cultivars are very acceptable in the market. with respect to scarcity of late ripening citrus cultivars in iran, the project was conducted to produce a new late ripening cultivar for 21 years (1989-2009). the first phase (1989-1993) was started with controlled pollination between mineolla tangelo (citrus paradisi × c. reticulata) and changsha mandarin (c. changsha). after a...

The study of the effects of a specific stress condition on the performance of plants grown under field conditions is difficult due to interactions among multiple abiotic and biotic factors affecting the system. In vitro tissue-culture-based techniques allow the study of each adverse condition independently and also make possible to investigate the performance of genotypes of interest under stre...
