Winter-maturing Lisbon lemons (Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f.) and Ellendale tangors (Citrus reticulata x Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) which had been dipped in fungicides and waxed, developed less than 10% rot but remained fresh for only 2-3 months in cool-storage at 10�C and 80-90% RH. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) wraps delayed loss of firmness and peel coloration of tangors and lemons for 5 and 8 months respectively, in cool-storage, but both citrus developed unacceptable levels of rotting within 4 months of harvest. Perforated low-density polyethylene liners were less effective than HDPE wraps for preserving fruit condition but they extended the storage life of lemons until early January (6 months) without incurring levels of decay greater than 10%. However, tangors cool-stored in liners became unsaleable after only 3-4 months owing to loss of acidity and flavour.

Citrus fruits represent one of the most important fruit productions worldwide. However, they suffer from a numerous constraints. Aphids are among the causes of the decline in the production of citrus. In this study, the diversity of citrus aphids and their seasonal occurrence were explored on orange and mandarin, during 2012 and 2013, in an orchard located in Skikda province (Algeria). In total, six different aphid species were found during two years. The most common species was <em>Aphis spiraecola </em>Patch, 1914.  Climatic conditions had an important role in the infestation level by aphids. There were changes of aphid dynamics between the two years of the investigation. No aphids was recorded in six months in 2012 (January, June, July, August, September and December) and in three months in 2013 (January, February and August).  Besides, the number of identified aphid species increased from two to five. On the other hand, the orange trees seemed to be the most infested host species.

This paper reports on the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by Anthemis xylopoda flowers aqueous extract without the addition of surfactant agents and their application as stable catalysts for the synthesis of propargylamines.

Tolerance of many citrus cultivars to low-dose irradiation treatment is not known. Ten citrus cultivars grown in Florida, including the five orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] cultivars, Ambersweet, Hamlin, Navel, Pineapple, and Valencia, and the five mandarin hybrids (Citrus reticulata Blanco), `Fallglo', `Minneola', `Murcott', `Sunburst', and `Temple', were exposed to irradiation at 0, 0.15, 0.3, and 0.45 kGy, and stored for 14 days at 1 °C or 5 °C plus 3 days at 20 °C, to determine dose tolerance based on fruit injury. Softening of `Valencia', `Minneola', `Murcott', and `Temple' was dose-dependent, but that of other cultivars was unaffected. Only `Ambersweet', `Valencia', `Minneola', and `Murcott' did not develop peel pitting at 0.15 kGy or higher. Total soluble solids of `Ambersweet' and `Sunburst' declined slightly with increasing dose. Titratable acidity (TA) of oranges was not affected, but TA of `Sunburst' and `Temple' juice was slightly reduced by irradiation at 0.45 kGy. Juice flavor of `Hamlin', `Navel', `Valencia', and `Minneola', and pulp flavor of `Hamlin', `Valencia', `Fallglo', `Minneola', and `Murcott' was less acceptable after irradiation at 0.3 or 0.45 kGy. The appearance of all cultivars was negatively affected by the loss of glossiness with the 0.45 kGy dose. Less than 1.0% of fruit decayed and irradiation treatment had no effect on decay. Our study indicates that growers and shippers need to be aware that the effects of irradiation on citrus fruits are highly variable and both cultivar-dependent and dose-dependent.
