“…The lemon ( Citrus limon (L.) Burm f.) is considered the third most important citrus species in the world, only behind orange and tangerine, and is socially known for its valuable nutritional, medical, pharmacological, industrial, and cosmetic properties and uses [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. This diversity of lemon applications and uses is mainly attributed to its high content of bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids, vitamins A, C and B, minerals, citric acid, and essential oils, among others [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Lemon juice is credited with direct health benefits due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activity [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Lemon juice is credited with direct health benefits due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activity [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. However, studies indicate that the chemical composition of the lemon juice, both qualitatively and quantitatively, is not constant and can be influenced by factors such as the maturity of the fruits, lemon variety, and/or growing and management conditions [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Due to its high content of bioactive compounds, the lemon is considered one of the most relevant species around the world. Its great economic importance is motivated, in addition to its fresh consumption, by its applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, etc. However, the chemical and nutritional composition of lemon is not constant and can be influenced by external factors such as variety, weather conditions, crop management, etc. Determining the compositional variations of the fruit, essential to defining its potential use, was the main objective of this study. The physicochemical characteristics of the ‘Verna’ lemon were studied as a function of two controlled variables, the growing substrate and the rootstock. For this, 90 lemon trees were cultivated in three rootstocks and three different culture media. Lemon trees cultivated with 50% sediment/peat mix substrate presented a higher total production (590 lemons and 90.53 kg) while this production was 80% lower on trees cultivated with 75% marine sediment. Citrus macrophylla and Citrus aurantium/Citrus sinensis rootstocks showed a significantly higher production than the Citrus aurantium. All the fruits presented a predominantly yellow color appropriate for the market (0 < CI < +5). Nutritional and chemical parameters were consistent with data reported for the ‘Verna’ clones. All the obtained lemons were suitable for marketing and consumption both in fresh and processed forms. The results indicated the limited influence that the studied variables have on the quality parameters of lemon fruits, but they also could confirm the potential of marine sediment as a culture substrate.

“…Through natural and artificial crossing process most of the citrus fruits are develop from four original citrus fruits such as citron, pomelo, mandarin and papeda. Some of such species of Citrus include Citrus aurantiifolia, Citrus crenatifolia, Citrus mangshanensis, Citrus medica, Citrus latipes, Citrus reticulate and Citrus trifoliate (Mamede et al, 2020). Hybrid cultivar such as Kinnow, Sweet orange, Lemon etc.…”

Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Genetic diversity of selected 21 colombo lemon (Colombo limon L.) genotypes were evaluated through multivariate analysis and also through covariance matrix to identify the promising parents for an auspicious crossing program for development of location specific high yielding genotypes. To view the endurance of significant heterogeneity, the genetic constitution of selected 21 genotypes were classified into four clusters (I, II, III & IV). Among them, the assemblage cluster II dominated the maximum number of genetic constitution, whereas assemblage cluster I possessed minimum number of genetic constitution. Surrounded by the genetic constitution, the first principal axis largely affords 47.1% of the variation. Inter genotypic gap was observed the highest (13.82) between the genetic constitution in both 'CL002' and 'CL017' genotypes, followed by genotypes 'CL002' and 'CL019' . The maximum intracluster distance was noticed (23.33) for cluster IV, whereas cluster III showed the lowest intracluster distance (10.62). In between assemblage clusters I and IV showed the highest interassemblage distance (165.64), while the lowest distance (44.84) was estimated between II and III assemblages. Considering the cluster mean bulky fruit remarked in cluster IV (256.00 g). Besides these the highest fruit yield plant -1 was also recorded in cluster IV (20.50 kg). In respect of both quantitative parameters, assemblage IV was quite diverse compare with all other assemblages. Contemplating the immensity of genetic distance and quantitative performance the genotypes 'CL002' , 'CL005' , 'CL006' and 'CL011' from cluster IV obviously pertinent for productive crossing program to promote high yielding colombo lemon genotypes.

The plants are rich of metabolites that can be enter many fields of life, called phytochemicals. The most important features of phytochemicals are shown in human health. The natural components of plants can exhibit anti-diabetic, anti-inflammation, anti-viral, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, and other properties with benefits to the human health. The bacterial resistance to the traditional drugs has opened the area of research to overcome this serious problem. Another contributor to health problems is oxidative stress, which is caused by an inadequate supply of antioxidants to counteract the free radicals. Lemon (citrus limon) has shown to contain wide spectrum of phytochemicals with therapeutic behavior. Our study was designed to investigate two types of lemon peels extract on microbes growth and free radical scavenging, one as pure peel oil, and the other is an extract by methanol. Our findings demonstrate that an extract of Iraqi lemon peel is an effective microbicidal agent, with significant growth suppression against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, as well as Candida albicans. The ethanolic extract of the lemon peels has shown to be more effective against the growth of microbes. Furthermore, Iraqi lemon peel extract of both oil and ethanolic have exhibited an antioxidant activity comparable to the pure ascorbic acid. This features of lemon peels make it a very good candidate for natural therapeutic medicine.
