귤나무속은 운향과(Rutaceae)에 속한다. 동남아시아, 미얀마, 중국 운남에서 기원된 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 속의 분류관계는 복잡한데 클론번식과 야생식물과 교잡이 빈번하다. 식물에서 속간 속내 계통관계 추론을 위해 널리 이용되고 있는 엽록체 trnL-trnF 부위가 있다. 이 귤나무속과 두 근연한 탱자나무속과 금감속에 속하는 7종간 계통 관계를 평가하였다. 많은 삽입이 발견되었고 속내 종간 변이는 결실/삽입에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 속의 레몬과 당귤나무은 네 계통도(MP, ML, ME, and NJ)에서 모두 같은 분지군을 형성하여 가장 근연관계에 있었고 광귤나무(향귤나무)과 자매군을 형성하였다. 유자나무는 이들과 많은 서열 차이를 나타내었다. 외부 분지군은 낮은 지지도를 나타내었다.

Four polymethoxyfavones were isolated from the leaves of Citrus deliciosa, three of which (nobiletin, 5-O-demethylnobiletin, and tangeritin) are bioactive. The fourth (7,4'-dihydroxy-5,6,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone) is reported for the first time in the genus Citrus and is a potential chemotaxonomic marker. The structures of these flavones were confirmed by analysing their spectral data and comparison with similar compounds. The previously reported $^{13}C$ NMR assignment of 5-O-demethylnobiletin has been revised on the basis of 2D NMR experiments (HETCOR, COSY, and COLOC). The chemotaxonomic value of the present finding is verified.

Targeted therapy has been a very promising strategy of drug development research. Many molecular mechanims of diseases have been known to be regulated by abundance of proteins, such as receptors and hormones. Chemoprevention for treatment and prevention of diseases are continuously developed. Pre-clinical and clinical studies in chemoprevention field yielded many valuable data in preventing the onset of disease and suppressing the progress of their growth, making chemoprevention a challenging and a very rational strategy in future researches. Natural products being rich of flavonoids are those fruits belong to the genus citrus. Ethanolic extract of Citrus reticulata and Citrus aurantiifolia peels showed anticarcinogenic, antiproliferative, co-chemotherapeutic and estrogenic effects. Several examples of citrus flavonoids that are potential as chemotherapeutic agents are tangeretin, nobiletin, hesperetin, hesperidin, naringenin, and naringin. Those flavonoids have been shown to possess inhibition activity on certain cancer cells' growth through various mechanisms. Moreover, citrus flavonoids also perform promising effect in combination with several chemotherapeutic agents against the growth of cancer cells. Some mechanisms involved in those activities are through cell cycle modulation, antiangiogenic effect, and apoptosis induction.Previous studies showed that tangeretin suppressed the growth of T47D breast cancer cells by inhibiting ERK phosphorylation. While in combination with tamoxifen, doxorubicin, and 5-FU, respectively, it was proven to be synergist on several cancer cells. Hesperidin and naringenin increased cytotoxicitity of doxorubicin on MCF-7 cells and HeLa cells. Besides, citrus flavonoids also performed estrogenic effect in vivo. One example is hesperidin having the ability to decrease the concentration of serum and hepatic lipid and reduce osteoporosis of ovariectomized rats. Those studies showed the great potential of citrus fruits as natural product to be developed as not only the source of co-chemotherapeutic agents, but also phyto-estrogens. Therefore, further study needs to be conducted to explore the potential of citrus fruits in overcoming cancer.

The present study has been undertaken to characterize availability of citrus as a medicinal plant with antineoplastic property. The crude extracts from 40 species of fruits with 12 species of the local Citrus in Cheju island were evaluated on their potential activities against mouse P388 lymphocytic leukaemia in vitro. The percent cytotoxicity varied from 25.40 to 97.94% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. Among 40 spp., 8 species showed high toxicity more than 90% against P388 cells and Cheongkyool(C. nippokoreana) exhibited the most cytotoxicity as 97.94%($IC_{50}=20.2{\mu}g/mL$). Nine varieties of C. junos were showed insiginicant cytotoxicity. In trifoliate orange, immature fruit was stronger than mature and peel extract showed higher cytotoxicity($IC_{50}=18{\mu}g/mL$) than the other tissues. Hexane fraction from methanol(MeOH) extract of trifoliate orange showed highly significant inhibition of cell growth($IC_{50}=3.9{\mu}g/mL$). In addition, its cytotoxicity increased remarkably from 3.95 to $0.40{\mu}g/mL$ as exposure time legthened. Cytotoxic activities of crude extracts were decreased considerably during a six months storage period. It was apparent that there is considerable variation in cytotoxicity, depending upon species, maturity and storage time of extracts. There was no meaningful cytotoxic difference between archicitrus and metacitrus in the genus Citrus.

제한된 주거공간에서 바퀴의 방제효과를 높이기 위하여 한쪽에 기피성분(push)을 처리하고 반대쪽에 일반적인 유인성분(pull)이 포함된 독먹이제(bait)를 처리함으로서 행동자극에 의한 기피-유인 방제효과를 검증하였다. 먼저 상형장치를 이용한 mini-field 시험에서, 바퀴는 기피제형이 처리된 장소로부터 벗어나서 유인 먹이가 처리된 곳으로 몰려들었으며, 처리된 유인먹이와 독먹이의 소비량은 기피-유인 효과에 의해 밀집된 곳의 먹이에서 높게 나타났다. 따라서 바퀴에 대하여 기피 효과가 우수한 식물정유를 선별 적용함으로서 살충효과를 높이기 위하여 Citrus 속의 grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, 그리고 petitgrain 오일에 대한 기피-유인 살충효과를 평가하였다. 동시 처리된 기피-유인 처리는 유인 독먹이만 처리된 대조구에 비해 더 빠르고 높은 살충효과를 나타냈으며, Citrus 속 오일의 기피에 의한 살충효과는 grapefruit > lemon > lime > orange > petitgrain 오일 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 실험은 제한된 공간에서 기피제로서 Citrus속 오일과 기피-유인 방법을 이용하는 효율적인 방제법을 제시한다.

A fungal strain, KNUF-4H-A belonging to the genus Phaeosphaeria was isolated from the citrus flower chafer (Gametis jucunda) in Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea. This strain was further identified as Phaeosphaeria chengduensis through phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated dataset of DNA sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, as well as the small subunit rDNA (SSU), large subunit rDNA (LSU), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) genes. The isolate KNUF-4H-A exhibited typical cultural characteristics of P. chengduensis, producing colonies that were flattened, greenish-grey at the edges, grey-white at the center, and dark brown on the reverse side. Phaeosphaeria species have been reported in various ecosystems, including terrestrial and freshwater environments. The isolation of KNUF-4H-A from the citrus flower chafer provides valuable insights into the habitat diversity of Phaeosphaeria. This is the first record of Phaeosphaeria chengduensis in Korea.

Overproduction of peroxynitrite ($ONOO^-$) causes a variety of disease such as atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus or obesity. Peroxynitrite scavenging activities and HPLC analysis on the five Oriental medicinal drugs belonging to the genus Citrus, Aurantium or Poncirus (Rutaceae family) and HPLC analysis were taken to evaluate flavanone glycosides with peroxynitrite scavenging activity. The $IC_{50}s$ of the five crude drugs were shown as follows: Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium (Jinpi, 18.3 ${\mu}g$/ml), Citrii unshiu Pericarpium (Chungpi, 7.50${\mu}g$/ml), Citrii unshiu Semen (Gyulhaek, >50.0${\mu}g$/ml), Aurantii Fructus (Jigak, 18.3${\mu}g$/ml), and Poncirii Fructus (Jisil, >50.0${\mu}g$/ml) where Korean crude drug's names are noted in the parenthesis. Peroxynitrite scavenging effect of flavanones or their glycosides usually contained in Citrus species were observed as follows: hesperetin (1.89 ${\mu}g$/ml), naringenin (7.77 ${\mu}g$/ml), hesperidin (8.44 ${\mu}g$/ml), poncirin (>50.0 ${\mu}g$/ml)and ponciretin(>50.0 ${\mu}g$/ml). The activities of naringin and poncirin with ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}2$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl moiety were weak. HPLC analytical data revealed that Jinpi (the peels of mature fruits of Citrus unshiu) and Chungpi (the peels of immature fruits of C. unshiu) had high quantities of hesperidin as the value of 142.1${\pm}$0.21 and 104.51${\pm}$1.10 mg/g dried weight, respectively. Poncirin was clearly detected in only Jisil and naringenin and naringin were not observed on the HPLC chromatogram of the five crude drugs.

This study aims to isolate and identify the fungal pathogen responsible for gummosis disease affecting Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam. Through molecular identification utilizing primer pairs ITS5 and ITS4, the analysis pinpointed Lasiodiplodia theobromae as the specific fungal pathogen. Notably, the fungal colonies exhibited vigorous growth on potato dextrose agar. Initially, these colonies appeared whitish-grey, transforming into a black-grey hue within 5-7 days at a temperature of 30℃. According to previous reports, Phytophthora spp. was the most common pathogenic genus causing gummosis on Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam. To our knowledge, this is the first report on L. theobromae causing gummosis on Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam.
