Ascorbic acid is most commonly known as Vitamin C, which many know are most commonly found in citrus fruits and some vegetables, eg; oranges, limes, lemons, bell peppers, etc.Vitamin C can be easily oxidized, when the ascorbic acid reacts to form dehydroascorbic acid.

Xanthomonas spp. are the causal agents of the disease, which manifests as necrotic pustule-like lesions on the plant organs including leaves, fruits and stems.

Accordingly, some bacteria-responsive miRNAs have been shown to have regulatory

Two varieties of pomegranates named Rabab and Hasibi which are harvesting in Yazd (Iran), have been used. Fruits were peeled and dried up under sunlight. They were washed with sterile distilled water. The dried rinds were grinded into a fine powder by Mixing grinder. The aqueous extract was prepared by dissolving 1g of dry extract with 20 ml of sterilized distilled water, so the final concentration of extract would be 0.05 g/ml, from this solution other concentration were prepared (0.1-0.2) g/ml

In the lab “Isolation of R- (+) Limonene from Orange Peels”, we were able to isolate the essential oil limonene from orange peels and characterize it by IR, NMR, and polarimetry. The Infrared (IR) Spectrum was used to identify the different structures in the limonene. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrum was also used to identify the different structures in the limonene. During lab, we were unable to get to analyze the limonene from polarimetry due to time constraints. To isolate the limonene
