Journal ArticleDOI

Citrus phylogeny and genetic origin of important species as investigated by molecular markers

Elisabetta Nicolosi, +5 more
- 08 Jun 2000 - 
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis with 262 RAPDs and 14 SCARs indicated that Fortunella is phylogenetically close to Citrus while the other three related genera are distant from Citrus and from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fruit quality and bioactive compounds relevant to human health of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars grown in Italy.

Gabriele Ballistreri, +5 more
- 15 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The high level of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of some sweet cherry fruits implied that they might be sources of bioactive compounds that are relevant to human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defence-related gene expression in transgenic lemon plants producing an antimicrobial Trichoderma harzianum endochitinase during fungal infection

Gaetano Distefano, +5 more
- 28 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: The over-expression of the transgenic fungal gene enhanced by two-three folds transcript levels of genes associated with enhanced ROS production and ISR establishment, while the expression of native chitinase and glucanase genes involved in SAR was down-regulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of in vivo and in vitro lemon mutants by RAPD markers.

Z. N. Deng, +5 more
- 01 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: The results of the pairwise analysis of the RAPD data indicated that ‘Interdonato’ was genetically distinct from the other lemons, while high similarities were observed among the remaining genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced resistance to Phoma tracheiphila and Botrytis cinerea in transgenic lemon plants expressing a Trichoderma harzianum chitinase gene.

Alessandra Gentile, +8 more
- 01 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the transformation with the antifungal endochitinase gene may represent a strategy for disease control in citrus crops.
