Effects of RNA silencing during antagonism between citrus exocortis viroid and citrus bark cracking viroid in Etrog citron (Citrus medica).

Summary

This study explored the antagonism between Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) and citrus bark cracking viroid (CBCVd) in mixed infections. When CBCVd was inoculated before CEVd, it reduced CEVd levels and symptoms. RNA silencing likely plays a role in this interaction, providing insights into long noncoding RNAs in woody plants.

Coumarins from Jinhua Finger Citron: Separation by Liquid-Liquid Chromatography and Potential Antitumor Activity.

Summary

Liquid-liquid chromatography was used to separate compounds from fingered citron extract. Five coumarin derivatives were isolated and evaluated for anti-tumor activity, with 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin showing the most potential for inhibiting cancer cell growth. This study informs future research on natural-product-based antitumor agents.
