  La apomixis es un tipo de reproducción asexual donde la formación de semillas porta embriones genéticamente idénticos al progenitor, constituyendo un obstáculo en programas de mejoramiento genético de muchas especies vegetales, incluyendo cítricos. La identificación de plantas híbridas se realiza mediante caracteres morfológicos, ensayos isoenzimáticos y marcadores moleculares. Estos últimos se han utilizado con mayor frecuencia debido a su precisión, destacando el uso del DNA polimórfico amplificado al azar (RAPD, “Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA”) y Secuencias Simples Repetidas (SSR, “Simple Sequence Repeats”). En limón mexicano (C. aurantifolia) únicamente se han utilizado marcadores RAPD para la identificación de híbridos, por lo que no existen reportes que hagan uso de marcadores SSR para este fin. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar híbridos derivados de la polinización controlada entre C. aurantifolia var. “Colimex” X C. limon var. “Rosenberg” y su recíproca utilizando marcadores moleculares SSR. Durante el año 2014-2016 se colectaron hojas de árboles de limón de aproximadamente 12 meses de edad, que se encuentran establecidos en el Campo Experimental Tecomán del INIFAP. Se evaluaron en total ocho marcadores moleculares SSR sobre los progenitores utilizados en este estudio y fueron seleccionados los oligonucleótidos TAA45 y cAGG09 para la identificación de híbridos en las dos poblaciones progenie. De un total de 40 y 43 individuos F1 procedentes de la cruza bidireccional entre “Colimex” X “Rosenberg”, se lograron identificar 17 y 35 plantas híbridas, respectivamente. Los resultados indican que los marcadores SSR son eficientes y confiables para la identificación de híbridos de limón mexicano.

The present study investigated the effects of cooking temperature on the biochemical characteristics, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of three different seeds of Citrus fruits (Citrus limon, Citrus limetta, Citrus maxima and Citrus aurantifolia) collected from Assam, India. Total soluble sugar (72 mg/mL) were highest in Citrus maxima hydro 2-propanol seed extract before heating and 50 mg/mL in Citrus limon hydro-methanol, Citrus limetta hydro-methanol and Citrus maxima hydro-methanol seed extract after heating. Total soluble proteins before and after heating were highest 82 mg/mL and 88 mg/mL in Citrus limon 2 propanol seed extract. Free amino acid contents before and after heating were highest (62 µg/mL in Citrus limon hydro-propanol) and (40 µg/mL in Citrus limon hydro-methanol) and free fatty acids were 29.2 µg/mL and 23 µg/mL in Citrus maxima methanol extract, respectively. H2O2 scavenging activity before and after heating were highest in Citrus aurantifolia propanol (59%) and in Citrus limon (67%), respectively. Total antioxidant capacity was found highest in Citrus maxima hydro propanol (92.5%) before heating and in Citrus aurantifolia 2-propanol (65%) after heating. Antimicrobial activity of the seed extracts was studied on B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa and minimum inhibitory concentration of the four Citrus fruits was determined. MIC of the different seed extracts was observed for 100% (v/v), 75% (v/v), 50% (v/v) and 25% (v/v) against three test microbes viz. Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. For Bacillus subtilis, the MIC was found to be at 100%, 100%, 75%, and 75% to the extract of Citrus aurantifolia hydro 2-propanol, Citrus limon methanol, Citrus limetta hydro 2 propanol and Citrus maxima hydro 2-propanol, respectively. For E. coli, the MIC was found to be at 100%, 75%, 100% and 100% for Citrus aurantifolia hydro 2-propanol, Citrus limon hydro 2-propanol, Citrus maxima hydro 2-propanol and Citrus limetta hydro 2 propanol, respectively. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the MIC was found to be at 100%, 100%, 75% and 50% for Citrus aurantifolia methanol, Citrus limon methanol, Citrus maxima hydro 2-propanol and Citrus limetta hydro 2 propanol, respectively.

Citrus fruit production is largely affected by different bacterial and fungal pathogens. In Pakistan bacterial diseases like citrus bacterial canker (CBC) pose severe risk to citrus economy. Diagnoses of such diseases could be helpful to avoid the epidemics in nurseries or orchids. In 2011-12, citrus canker symptoms i.e., callus-like outgrowths on leaves and fruits of grape fruit (Citrus paradisi), Washington naval (Citrus sinensis), Kaghzi Limon (Citrus aurantifolia swingle), lemon (Citrus Limon) and pomelo (Citrus maxima) were noticed in Sargodha district of Punjab, Pakistan. Bacteria i.e., yellow mucoid, Xanthomonas- like isolates, were isolated from these lesions. Bacteria isolated from these lesions were cultured and total DNA was isolated. A diagnostic fragment of 581 bp based on rpf genes of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri was amplified, cloned and completely sequenced. BLAST and evolutionary analysis revealed that these isolates show 100% sequence similarity and group with Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri from Argentina (CP023285) and Reunion (CP018858), (CP018854). To our knowledge, this is the first formal report of X. campestris pv. citri pathotypes A on Citrus paradise, Citrus sinensis, Citrus maxima, Citrus Limon and Citrus aurantifolia swingle in Pakistan
