Citrus medica cv. 'liscia' and C. medica cv. 'rugosa' are two taxa of citron, belonging to the biodiversity of South Italy, in particular of Amalfi Coast, in the Campania region. The chemical composition of the essential oils (EOs) from fruit peels of both C. medica cultivars was studied by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. In all, 100 compounds ...

Investigation of the chemical constituents from the fruits of Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis Swingle has led to the characterization of a new sesquiterpene 1 along with thirty-two known compounds. The structure of 1 was established on the basis of 2D NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, and the known compounds were identified by comparison of their physical and spectroscopic ...

A preliminary screening was carried out on five plants viz., Azadirachta indica, Citrus medica, Murraya koenigii, Ocimum tenuifloreum and Ricinus communis for their repellent activity against mosquitoes. The repellent activity was studied under natural conditions in the field making use of the traditional knowledge as background. Field observations were undertaken in houses wherein dried powder...

Introduction: the objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the antidiabetic and hypolipidemic activity of petroleum ether extract of Citrus medica linn. seeds in streptozotocin (StZ) induced diabetic model in rats. Methods: the study was carried out using albino rats of either sex weighing 150-200 gm. one group was selected as control group (buffer alone) and four groups of StZ in...

Citrus canker is a quarantined disease caused by the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. (Xcc), which causes persistent surface damage, leaf and fruit drop, tree decline in citrus plants. The cultivar Citron C-05 (Citrus medica L.) disease-resistant genotype identified after years of screening at National Center for Improvement (Changsha), displays allergic, necrotic, responses to...
