ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY OF CITRUS JUICES AND HPLC EVALUATION OF THEIR FLAVONOID COMPOSITION
2007
The antiproliferative activity of fresh fruit juices extracted from Citrus sinensis (cv. Washington Navel and cv. Sanguinello), C. deliciosa cv. Avana, C. clementina cv. Nules, C. aurantium subsp. myrtifolia , was evaluated against K562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia), HL-60 (human leukemia) and MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines. All the juices tested showed antiproliferative activity. Moreover, the pattern of the main flavanone compounds in the juices has been determined by HPLC analysis.
Identification and Detection of Phoma tracheiphila, Causal Agent of Citrus Mal Secco Disease, by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction.
2006
Phoma tracheiphila is the causal agent of a tracheomycotic disease of citrus called mal secco causing the dieback of twigs and branches. This pathogen is of quarantine concern; therefore, fast and reliable protocols are required to detect it promptly. A specific primer pair and a dual-labeled fluorogenic probe were used in a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the Cepheid Smart Cycler II System (Transportable Device TD configuration) to detect this fungus in citrus samples. Real-time PCR assay was compared to modified conventional PCR assay. The sensitivity of the former was evaluated by testing P. tracheiphila DNA dilutions, and the minimum amount detectable was about 500 fg, wh…
Genetic instability in calamondin (Citrus madurensis Lour.) plants derived from somatic embryogenesis induced by diphenylurea derivative
2007
Somatic embryos were regenerated in vitro from calamondin style-stigma explants cultured in the presence of N (6)-benzylaminopurine (BAP) cytokinin and three synthetic phenylurea derivatives, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea (4-CPPU), N-phenyl-N'-benzothiazol-6-ylurea (PBU) and N,N'-bis-(2,3-methilendioxyphenyl)urea (2,3-MDPU). The phenylurea derivative compounds tested at micromolar level (12 muM) were able to induce a percentage of responsive explants significantly higher from that obtained with BAP and hormone-free (HF) conditions. In order to verify the genetic stability of the regenerants, 27 plants coming from different embryogenic events were randomly selected from each different …
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from pistil thin cell layers of Citrus
1999
Callus induction, somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration were obtained in six different citrus species [Citrus deliciosa Ten. (cv 'Avana'), C.limon (L.) Burm. (cv 'Berna'), C.madurensis Lour. (cv 'CNR P9'), C.medica L. (cv 'Cedro di Trabia'), C.tardiva Hort. ex Tan. (cv 'CNR P6'), C.sinensis (L.) Osb. (cv 'Ugdulena 7')] from cultures of pistil transverse thin cell layer explants [(t)TCL]. Explants were cultured on three different media: the nutrients and vitamins of Murashige and Skoog medium alone (MS) or MS supplemented with either 500 mg l(-1) malt extract (MS I) or 500 mg l(-1) malt extract and 13.3 mu M 6-benzylaminopurine (MS II). Sucrose (146 mM) was used as the carbon source. …

Malum arbor. El código semiológico de la manzana
1991
A TRAVES DEL ESTUDIO SIMBOLICO DEL MANZANO SE ABORDA LA MAS IMPORTANTE CARACTERISTICA DEL CODIGO SEMIOLOGICO DE ESTA FRUTA Y DEL ARBOL QUE LO OFRECE. MEDIANTE LA ASOCIACION DE LA MANZANA CON EL PECADO ORIGINAL, EL MANZANO HA SIDO IDENTIFICADO COMO UN ARBOL DE SALVACION Y LA MANZANA COMO FRUTO DEL AMOR. IDEAS CODIFICADAS COMO RESULTADO DE LA CULTURA OCCIDENTAL. EL PRESENTE ESTUDIO PLANTEA LAS CUESTIONES DEL CODIGO EN UN SENTIDO DIACRONICO, TENIENDO EN CUENTA LAS TRADICIONES LITERARIAS Y GRFICAS, Y CULMINANDO CON EJEMPLOS QUE TRASMITE LA EMBLEMATICA DE LOS SIGLOS XVI Y XVII. (A.B.C./ L.A.G.)
Characterization of five sour orange clones through molecular markers and leaf essential oils analysis.
2006
Five clones of sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) showing significant morphological differences were selected from our germplasm collection and characterized both by genetic and leaf volatiles analysis. The genetic studies were undertaken by the use of molecular markers developed by PCR-based techniques (ISSR and RAPD), while the leaf essential oil patterns were obtained by chromatographic and mass spectrometric determination. Data obtained suggest that reasonably similar information can be achieved from the two techniques, supporting each other in characterization studies.
Religion and Social Integration in France
2013
On some measures, France has the most integrated (and secularised) Muslim population in Europe. For example, attitude research shows that French Muslims share values closer to those of their non-Muslim neighbours than in other European countries (Connor 2010 391). While official sources of data are limited as the French government does not collect statistics organised by religion, ethnicity or any other form of collective identity, a number of private and international surveys have been carried out. Thus, the European Values Survey (2002–6 data) shows that rates of religious observance for Muslims in France are closer to those amongst the majority population than in either Britain or the Ne…
India Re-loaded: Vikas Swarup’s Slumdog Millionaire as a Postcolonial Novel
2012
Once “the jewel in the crown” of the British Empire, India for some time ceased to be the focus of interest for the British writers. Largely due to the success of its film version, Vikas Swarup’s Slumdog Millionaire (Black Swan, London, 2005, originally called Q and A) again drew the attention of the Western world to the problems postcolonial India has to face: poverty, crime, sex abuse, exploitation of children, police brutality and many more. In this paper, however, we are not going to compare the two versions of the story, i.e. the novel and the film, but primarily concentrate on the textual commentaries in the context of postcolonial theory and literature. Of particular interest for us …
