Fungal food spoilage plays a key role in the deterioration of products, and finding suitable natural preservative can solve this problem. Therefore, antifungal activity green mandarin (Citrus reticulata) essential oil (GMEO) vapor phase against growth Penicillium (P.) expansum P. chrysogenum inoculated on wheat bread (in situ experiment) was investigated current research. The volatile compounds...

Lecanodiaspis dendrobii Douglas, 1892 (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Lecanodiaspididae) and the associated parasitoid Cephaleta sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are reported for the first time in Brazil. Specimens of this scale insect were collected on branches and stems of Acacia mangium Willd., Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (Fabaceae), Morus nigra L. (Moraceae), Citrus reticulata Blanco (Rutacea...

Antibacterial and antifungal properties of wax and hexane extracts of Citrus spp. peels were tested using bioautographic and microdilution techniques against three plant pathogenic fungi (Penicillium digitatum, Curvularia sp., and Colletotrichum sp.), two human pathogens (Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis), and two opportunistic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aure...

Prediction maturity as monitoring activity for pre- and post-harvest quality management still done manually, whereas human judgment subjective. One alternative to increase productivity development portab...

The Citrus genus includes a large number of species and varieties widely cultivated in the Central Valley of California and in many other countries having similar Mediterranean climates. In the summer, orchards in California experience high levels of tropospheric ozone, formed by reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) with oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Citrus trees may improve air quality in...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies of the plasticity of functional root traits involved in resource acquisition have focused mainly on root length without considering such 'morphological components' as biomass allocation, specific root length, root fineness, and tissue density that affect root length. The plasticity of the above components in response to nitrate supply was studied in each root order o...
