BACKGROUND
Very little is known about the effects of manganese (Mn)-excess on citrus photosynthesis and antioxidant systems. Seedlings of sour pummelo (Citrus grandis) were irrigated for 17 weeks with nutrient solution containing 2 microM (control) or 500 microM (excess) MnSO4. The objective of this
Seven new coumarin analogues (1, 2, and 4-8), together with ten known analogues (3, 9-17), were isolated from the air-dried pericarp of Citrus grandis. The structures of these compounds were determined by HR-ESI-MS, UV/vis, and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra. Meanwhile, the hepatoprotective activities of
The physiological and biochemical mechanisms on boron (B)-induced alleviation of aluminum (B)-toxicity in plants have been examined in some details, but our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes is very limited. In this study, we first used the cDNA-AFLP to investigate
Limited data are available on the responses of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methylglyoxal (MG) metabolisms to low pH in roots and leaves. In China, quite a few of Citrus are cultivated in acidic soils (pH < 5.0). 'Xuegan' (Citrus sinensis) and 'Sour pummelo' (Citrus grandis) Citrus are mainly grown in low pH soils with high active aluminum (Al). 'Xuegan' (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) and 'Shatian pummelo' (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck) seedlings were fertilized for 18 weeks with nutrient solution containing either 0 mM (control) or 1 mM (Al toxicity) AlCl3·6H2O. Aluminum
