Destruction of citrus fruits by fungal pathogens during preharvest and postharvest stages can result in severe losses for the citrus industry. Antagonistic microorganisms used as biological agents to control citrus pathogens are considered alternatives to synthetic fungicides. In this study, we...

As an empirical medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, Fuzhengjiedu Granules have shown an effect against COVID-19 in clinical and inflammatory animal models. It is formulated with eight herbs, including Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma, ...

The protection of natural resources, especially water resources, is attracting international attention by researchers in order to achieve sustainable development. Inadequate treatment of waste from the food industry leads to pollution of ground and surface water through leachate or direct discharge ...

Soil and irrigation water salinity are major limiting factor to citrus industry in arid environments. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of different salt stress levels on growth and ion uptake of three-month-old citrus rootstocks; sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and Volkamer...

Citrus hystrix or kaffir lime is a native tropical plant containing a high level of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Its fruits are used as a food ingredient to enhance the sour-sweet scent and flavor in many dishes. Due to its polyphenol-containing, it has also been used as traditional medicine...

A fixed plot survey was carried out at fortnightly intervals to study the population dynamics of citrus leaf miner from November 2020 to June 2022. The observation on the incidence of citrus leaf miner was recorded on 10 randomly selected plants by counting the number of live mines per shoot. The...

Brazil Sour Orange(Citrus aurantium L.), Bendizao Mandarin(C. reticulata Blanco), Guihuadinanfeng mandarin(C. reticulata Blanco), Jincheng Beibei 447[C. sinensis(L.)Osbeck] and other 30 germplasms were used for mining the transcription factors related to flavonoid biosynthesis. Comparative...

Plant diseases have a serious impact on production, and hence they must be detected and recognised at early stages. Smart firming using deep learning can automatically identify infected crops. We provide extremely effective convolution neural network (CNN) designs for the identification of leaf...

Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), the causal agent of exocortis, is a pathogen that is thought to infect all citrus varieties, although it is asymptomatic in most. Symptoms of exocortis develop on susceptible rootstocks, resulting in stunting and yield reduction. To aid the detection and management...

Although helpful in treating cancer, exposure to ionizing radiation can sometimes cause severe side effects, negating its benefit. In addition to its use in clinics, a nontoxic radioprotective agent can also be beneficial in occupational settings where humans are occupationally exposed for...
