It was once a staple food consumed by the ancestral Native Americans, and has stood the test of time in Indian, African, Australian, and Central American cuisines. Recently it has been making a comeback more locally, celebrated for its mild, fresh flavor and bright, tart finish. The perky leaves are excellent used as an attractive and flavorful garnish, although its most popular use is in green salads alongside other greens with small leaves. Its dynamic flavor pairs best with tomato, onion, parsley, dill, and citrus in creamy mayonnaise, oil, sour cream, or buttermilk-based preparations. For cooked preparations, steam or sauté for just a minute or two, releasing earthier notes of flavor, which pair excellently with fish. 4 5 L=Limited Availability G=Good Availability L=Limited

  • A Plantsman's Detective Story Frontispiece
    A PLANTSMAN'S DETECTIVE STORY FRONTISPIECE. In Japan the skin of an orange called the Yuzu is widely used as a seasoning for cooked foods, and the extracted juice serves as a condiment, much as we use vinegar. The Yuzu is found semi-wild in southern Japan, and was long supposed to have been indigenous to that region. Among the many plants discovered by Frank Meyer in China was a wild orange which he called the Kansu orange, after the province of Central China in which it was found. Plants of this orange were raised in the greenhouses of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, and they were found to be surprisingly like the plants of the Yuzu growing there. Examination of Meyer's photographs and botanic material revealed the interesting fact that the Yuzu and the Kansu orange were identical, thus establishing the interesting fact that this useful Japanese fruit had been imported from China a great many years ago. This is the field photograph made by Meyer of the fruit of the Kansu orange. (See text, p. 245.)

  • Japanese Citrus Fruit (Sudachi) Juice Is Associated with Increased Bioavailability of Calcium from Whole Small Fish and Suppressed Bone Resorption in Rats
    J Nutr Sci Vitaminol, 50, 177-183, 2004 Japanese Citrus Fruit (Sudachi) Juice Is Associated with Increased Bioavailability of Calcium from Whole Small Fish and Suppressed Bone Resorption in Rats Yoshitaka NIT1, Kazuhiro FUKUTA1, Kentaro SAKAI2 and Shigeru YAMAMOTO3 1Food TechnologyDivision , TokushimaPrefectural Industrial TechnologyCenter, Tokushima770-8021, Japan 2Department of Nutrition and Health Promotion, Faculty of Human Life Science,Hiroshima Jogakuin Univer sity, Hiroshima 732-0063, Japan 3Department of Nutrition, School of Medicine,The University of Tokushima, Tokushima770-8503, Japan (Received October 11, 2003) Summary Shirasuboshi (boiled and semi-dried whitebait) is a processed fish food that con tains abundant calcium. It is eaten whole and commonly consumed in Japan. In this study, the effect of sudachi (Citrus sudachi) juice on calcium, magnesium and phosphorus bioavail ability, and bone metabolism in rats was examined. After 14 d of diets low in calcium and phosphorus, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed shirasuboshi diets containing dried shira suboshi powder treated with 20% (S20) or 40% (S40) sudachi juice, or distilled water (C) (0.5% Ca; 0.3% P) for 14 d. The apparent absorptions and retentions of calcium, magne sium and phosphorus from shirasuboshi were determined. Bone formation was calculated by measuring serum osteocalcin, and bone resorption by measuring urinary pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline. The apparent absorption and retention of calcium and magnesium in the S20 group were significantly higher than in the C and S40 groups. Although serum osteo calcin was not affected by the addition of sudachi juice, the urinary pyridinoline and deoxy pyridinoline concentrations in the S40 group were significantly lower than in the C and S20 groups.

The Progress Report of the 1994 Survey of the Research Project, "Man and the Environment in Micronesia" DISTRIBUTION OF CITRUS SPECIES ON POHNPEI ISLAND OF THE FSM Shigeto TOMINAGA, Michio ONJO, Mitsuru HAYASHI and Adelino S. LORENS Introduction The geographical position of Pohnpei Island of the FSM can allow the cultivation of Cit rus spp, however, the prevalent heavy rainfall may present a problem with economical pro duction of citrus fruits. The exploratory study of MORIMOTO (1981) did some work on de scription of existing species on the same island. Apart from the changes which may have occurred with the passage of time from the last survey, we carried out studies on the Citrus spp distribution and also the problems associated with economic exploitation of citrus on Pohnpei Island. We found that although the people planted a few trees around their homes there were no large orchards, citrus fruits are consumed as fresh fruit and for sauce or fla voring fresh fish. The common ones being lime (C. aurantifolia Swingle) and calamondin (C. madurensis Lour). In this study we collected 49 samples including fruits, shoot and leaves. The results of the species description showed that apart from lime and calamondin, pummelo (C.

  • MITE Insertion-Dependent Expression of Citrkd1 with a RWP-RK Domain
    Shimada et al. BMC Plant Biology (2018) 18:166 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-018-1369-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access MITE insertion-dependent expression of CitRKD1 with a RWP-RK domain regulates somatic embryogenesis in citrus nucellar tissues Takehiko Shimada1*, Tomoko Endo1, Hiroshi Fujii1, Michiharu Nakano2, Aiko Sugiyama2, Genya Daido2, Satoshi Ohta1, Terutaka Yoshioka1 and Mitsuo Omura2* Abstract Background: Somatic embryogenesis in nucellar tissues is widely recognized to induce polyembryony in major citrus varieties such as sweet oranges, satsuma mandarins and lemons. This capability for apomixis is attractive in agricultural production systems using hybrid seeds, and many studies have been performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of various types of apomixis. To identify the gene responsible for somatic embryogenesis in citrus, a custom oligo-DNA microarray including predicted genes in the citrus polyembryonic locus was used to compare the expression profiles in reproductive tissues between monoembryonic and polyembryonic varieties. The full length of CitRKD1, which was identified as a candidate gene responsible for citrus somatic embryogenesis, was isolated from satsuma mandarin and its molecular function was investigated using transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange by antisense-overexpression. Results: The candidate gene CitRKD1, predominantly transcribed in reproductive tissues of polyembryonic varieties, is a member of the plant RWP-RK domain-containing protein. CitRKD1 of satsuma mandarin comprised two alleles (CitRKD1-mg1 and CitRKD1-mg2) at the polyembryonic locus controlling embryonic type (mono/polyembryony) that were structurally divided into two types with or without a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE)- like insertion in the upstream region. CitRKD1-mg2 with the MITE insertion was the predominant transcript in flowers and young fruits where somatic embryogenesis of nucellar cells occurred.

  • Protective Interference of Mild Strains of Citrus Tristeza Virus Against a Severe Strain in Morita Navel Orangez
    Protective Interference of Mild Strains of Citrus Tristeza Virus Against a Severe Strain in Morita Navel Orangez Hiroyuki Ieki and Akira Yamaguchi ABSTRACT. Nursery plants of citrus tristeza virus (CTV)-free Morita navel orange obtained by thermotherapy were individually preinoculated with mild strains of CTV, collected from citrus trees in orchards, or artificially produced by heat treatment of Morita navel orange infected with a severe strain of seedling yellows CTV. They were challenge-inoculated with a severe strain of seedling yellows CTV by the vector (Toxoptera citricidus) or by side-graft inoculation. In the first experiment, the occurrence of stem pitting on four plants preinoculated with M-10 (HM-55 from Hassaku, Hiroshima Pref.) mild strain was slight 4 yr after challenge-inoculation, and two of four plants showed mild symptoms on indexing to Mexican lime seedlings. Fruit size and production of CTV-free plants and plants preinoculated with mild strain were larger than those of plants with the severe strain, but there was little difference in trunk girth of plants between treatments. In the second experiment, the M-23(A) mild strain produced by heat treatment was effective 2 to 3 yr after challenge-inoculation, based on mild stem pitting observed and mild symptoms on Mexican lime seedlings used to index challenged plants. The M-10 and M-23(A) mild strains appear promising to protect Morita navel orange trees from severe strain challenge under the field conditions. Index words.
