Piedra, is an asymptomatic fungal infection of the hair shaft, resulting in the formation of nodules of different hardness on the infected hair. The infection also known as Trichomycosis nodularis is a superficial fungal infection arising from the pathogen being restricted to the stratum corneum with little or no tissue reaction. The nodules are a concretion of hyphae and fruiting bodies of the...

The article presents the characteristics of stomatal apparatus in leaves 13 forms 10 species genus Citrus: C. aurantifolia ('Tahiti', 'Foro'), limon 'Del brasil', ? meyeri, limonelloides, bergamia, limetta 'Chontipico', aurantiummyrtifolia 'Cinotto', ichangensis, maxima 'Sambokan', medica (var.sarcodactylis, citrate).

This article reports on the bioactivities of citrus extracts (citrus extract, lemon extract, and neroli) toward Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Pichia membranifaciens, and Rhodotorula bacarum. The bioactivities of the extracts (from 10 to 100 ppm) were evaluated through a microdilution method; thereafter, citrus extracts (0 to 80 ppm) were tested in...

Isolates of citrus exocortis viroid (CEV) from a single sweet orange citrus source have been selected by sequential passage through the alternative hosts citron, Gynura aurantiaca, a hybrid tomato Lycopersicon esculentum x L. peruvianum, and from disorganized callus culture of the hybrid tomato. The distinctions in symptom expression, titre and electrophoretic mobility among the CEV isolates, o...

Malaria is one of the most prevalent, devastating parasitic infectious diseases in the world. In an attempt to search for new antimalarial compounds efforts are being made to do preliminary screening of aerial parts of the plant Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle (family Rutaceae) at early flowering and fruiting stages against chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain. The plan...

Liquid herbal products are highly prone to microbial deterioration due high content of organic matter. The aim this study was carry out 90 days stability a bi- syrup formulated from extracts Citrus aurantifolia (CA) whole fruits and Garcinia kola (GK) seeds. bi-herbal based on combined minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC): 8.33mg/mL GA, 30.42mg/mL GK excipients compounded by agitation with...

Changes in gene expression of Mexican lime plants in response to infection with a severe (T305) or a mild (T385) isolate of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) were analyzed using a cDNA microarray containing 12,672 probes to 6875 different citrus genes. Statistically significant (P<0.01) expression changes of 334 genes were detected in response to infection with isolate T305, whereas infection with T3...
