“…Tangerines, mandarins, and clementines make up 17%. Lemons (Citrus limon) and limes comprise 11%, whereas grapefruit (with pomelo) comprises only 6% of the total Citrus crops produced worldwide (Abbate et al 2012). C. limon is the third most important cultivated citrus species, after orange and mandarin, with a global production of 4,200,000 metric tons each year (Boluda-Aguilar and López-Gómez 2013).…”

Dried and fresh peels of Citrus limon were subjected to microwave‐assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and solvent‐free microwave extraction (SFME), respectively. A comparison was made between MAHD and SFME with the conventional hydrodistillation (HD) method in terms of extraction kinetic, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity. Higher yield results from higher extraction rates by microwaves and could be due to a synergy of two transfer phenomena: mass and heat acting in the same way. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis did not indicate any noticeable differences between the constituents of essential oils obtained by MAHD and SFME, in comparison with HD. Antioxidant analysis of the extracted essential oils indicated that microwave irradiation did not have adverse effects on the radical scavenging activity of the extracted essential oils. The results of this study suggest that MAHD and SFME can be termed as green technologies because of their less energy requirements per ml of essential oil extraction.

“…Improved grapefruit quality over an extended harvest season is associated with the mandarin mitotype [ 41 ], whereas grapefruit trees carrying the kumquat plastid genotype have enhanced resistance to citrus canker disease [ 53 ]. Cybridization is a route to crops with novel juice and peel characteristics [ 54 , 55 ] and developing seedless fruit by incorporating mitochondrial genomes encoding pollen sterility traits [ 56 , 57 ].

Utilization of somatic fusion techniques for the development of HLB tolerant breeding resources employing the Australian finger lime (Citrus australasica)

et al. 2021

The Australian finger lime is a unique citrus species that has gained importance due to its unique fruit characteristics and perceived tolerance to Huanglongbing (HLB), an often-fatal disease of citrus trees. In this study, we developed allotetraploid finger lime hybrids and cybrids by utilizing somatic cell fusion techniques to fuse diploid ‘OLL8’ sweet orange or ‘Page’ tangelo callus-derived protoplasts with finger lime (FL) mesophyll-derived protoplasts. Six somatic fusions were regenerated from the ‘OLL8’ + FL fusion, while three putative cybrids were regenerated from the ‘Page’ + FL fusion. Ploidy levels and nuclear-expressed sequence tag derived simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers confirmed the somatic hybrid production, and mitochondrial DNA primer sets confirmed the cybrid nature. Several trees produced by the somatic fusion remained HLB negative even after 6 years of growth in an HLB-endemic environment. Pathogenesis related (PR) and other genes that are often upregulated in HLB-tolerant trees were also upregulated in our somatic fusions. These newly developed somatic fusions and cybrids could potentially be used as breeding parents to develop the next generation of improved HLB-tolerant rootstocks and scions.

“…Phenyllactic acid ( 7 ) has been isolated from cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum [32] and may function as a food-based attractant. Estragole ( 24 ) is more likely a kairomone, since it occurs in a variety of essential oil-bearing plants such as basil, tarragon, chervil, fennel, clary sage, anise, and rosemary [33], as well as in the leaves of various avocado cultivars [34], ripe apple [35] and citrus fruits [36].…”

Laboratory Evaluation of Natural and Synthetic Aromatic Compounds as Potential Attractants for Male Mediterranean fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata

et al. 2019

Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly, is one of the most serious agricultural pests worldwide responsible for significant reduction in fruit and vegetable yields. Eradication is expensive and often not feasible. Current control methods include the application of conventional insecticides, leading to pesticide resistance and unwanted environmental effects. The aim of this study was to identify potential new attractants for incorporation into more environmentally sound management programs for C. capitata. In initial binary choice bioassays against control, a series of naturally occurring plant and fungal aromatic compounds and their related analogs were screened, identifying phenyllactic acid (7), estragole (24), o-eugenol (21), and 2-allylphenol (23) as promising attractants for male C. capitata. Subsequent binary choice tests evaluated five semisynthetic derivatives prepared from 2-allylphenol, but none of these were as attractive as 2-allylphenol. In binary choice bioassays with the four most attractive compounds, males were more attracted to o-eugenol (21) than to estragole (24), 2-allylphenol (23), or phenyllactic acid (7). In addition, electroantennography (EAG) was used to quantify antennal olfactory responses to the individual compounds (1–29), and the strongest EAG responses were elicited by 1-allyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (11), estragole (24), 4-allyltoluene (14), trans-anethole (9), o-eugenol (21), and 2-allylphenol (23). The compounds evaluated in the current investigation provide insight into chemical structure–function relationships and help direct future efforts in the development of improved attractants for the detection and control of invasive C. capitata.
