These beneficial effects are probably due the action of ºbioactive compounds (Nishino et al, 2004;Arias and Ramon-Laca, 2005) and, hence, intake of these substances in the habitual diet is highly recommended because of their antioxidant properties (Franke et al, 2005). In addition, flower and fruit tissues also develop oil glands producing essential oils acting as signals to attract pollinators and seed dispersers as well as constituting crucial compounds for plant defense.…”

Para Argentina -y seguramente Paraguay, Brasil y Bolivia-al indagar en las obras de plantas medicinales populares, inventarios de mercados y trabajos etnobotánicos en diversas comunidades del nordeste argentino (NEA), puede apreciarse una alta diversidad de cítricos empleados actualmente para distintas dolencias ).…”
