Biological activity of metabolites extracted from Citrus spp. on Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
2012
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most injurious pest at global level. During the last years, several electrophysiological and behavioural studies have been carried out in order to investigate plant volatile compound-insect interactions with the aim to use this knowledge in sustainable control techniques. It has been observed that lemons are not attacked by medfly, probably because of the peel oil, that is toxic to other fruit flies. In the present paper electrophysiological recordings were conducted to evaluate the insect sensitivity to peel extract and peel oil of two Sicilian cultivars (Interdonato and Lunario) of C…
Distribution of REEs in soil-citrus limon system(L.) Osbeck
2017
The consumers have an increasing interest about food traceability with respect to safety, quality and typicality issues. The knowledge of a chemistry relationship between the soil and the agricultural products is an important tool for the quality assessment of food. Citrus Limon is the most important fruit tree crop in the world and the detection of potential fraud could improve by using tools linking the chemistry composition of this production to its typical growing area. This study use rare earth elements (REEs) as geochemical tracers. The REEs are a set of 14 elements, from lanthanum to lutetium that can be divided in light rare earth elements (LREEs), from La to Gd and heavy rare earth…
Rearing of Prays citri on callus derived from lemon stigma and style culture
2000
A new method for rearing the citrus flower moth (Prays citri Mill.) (Lepidoptera, Yponomeutidae) on lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.] callus is reported. In the present research callus (an undifferentiated mass of plant cells that can be grown under sterile conditions on an artificial medium in vitro) was induced from lemon stigma and style explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 500 mg l -1 malt extract, 13.3 μM 6-benzylaminopurine, and 146 mM sucrose. Also somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration were obtained from the cultures of styles and stigmas of lemon. Adults were obtained from larvae on infested flowers collected in the field. Different oviposition…
Studio dell'attività biologica di metaboliti di Citrus spp. su Ceratitis capitata
2011
La mosca mediterranea della frutta, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera Tephritidae) è uno degli insetti maggiormente dannosi a livello mondiale. In anni recenti sono state condotte numerose ricerche sui semiochimici coinvolti nelle interazioni insetto-pianta ospite, avvalendosi di studi elettrofisiologici e comportamentali, con lo scopo di utilizzare le sostanze biologicamente attive eventualmente identificate in strategie di controllo innovative e sostenibili. È noto che i limoni non sono attaccati da C. capitata, molto probabilmente a causa degli oli essenziali dell’epicarpo, tossici per altre mosche della frutta. Nel presente lavoro sono state effettuate registrazioni elettrofisiolo…
ANTINEOPLASTIC ACTIVITY OF NANOVESICLES ISOLATED BY CITRUS LIMON
2016
The present invention relates to the obtainment of vegetable products showing pharmacological activity and their therapeutic use. In particular the invention refers to vesicles of nanometric dimensions obtained from the juice of plants of the family Rutaceae.
Isolation and characterization of Citrus limon L. derived nanovesicles: potential use as antineoplastic agent
2015
We isolated and characterized nanovesicles from edible Citrus limon with size and composition similar to mammalian-derived exosomes. Furthermore we show an in vitro and in vivo anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect of these vesicles. This study opens to the possibility of using this natural plant-derived nanovesicles as antineoplastic agents.
