C. hystrix is a thorny shrub or small tree, 2 to 11 metres (6 to 35 ft) tall, with aromatic and distinctively shaped "double" leaves. [23] [24] These hourglass-shaped leaves comprise the leaf blade plus a flattened, leaf-like stalk (botanically, a winged petiole).

Mar 1, 2021 · Here, we report the chromosome-scale assembly of C. hystrix genome (289 Mb). Scaffold N50 reached 14.1 Mb. Over 90% of the sequences were anchored onto 12 chromosomes. A total of 23,864 genes...

Two varieties are recognized: small-flowered papeda (C. hystrix var. micrantha), locally known as biasong, and small-fruited papeda (C. hystrix var. microcarpa) or samuyao. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Although long viewed as a separate species, C. micrantha , it is now generally viewed to fall within Citrus hystrix , but genomic data on the latter is ...

Nov 1, 2023 · Citrus hystrix DC, also known as kaffir lime, is a species of lime native to Southeast Asia and the southern China. So far, 78 components have been characterized from C. hystrix. The main constituents of these compounds include …

C. hystrix may refer to: Castanopsis hystrix, a tree species; Citrus hystrix, the kaffir lime, a fruit tree species native to Indochinese and Malesian ecoregions

Feb 15, 2025 · C. hystrix and cucumber showed similar expression profile in the l-galactose pathway from ovary to fruit, but C. hystrix exhibited higher expression levels of key genes, particularly GMP1, GME2.2 and GLDH.

Studies have demonstrated that plants with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have beneficial effects on these disorders. One of these plants is Citrus hystrix DC, commonly known as kaffir lime. This review aims to present updates on the progress of research regarding the use of C. hystrix in metabolic disorders.

Apr 24, 2023 · In this study, we assembled and annotated the first chromosome-scale high-quality genome of C. hystrix by integrating PacBio HiFi long-reads, Illumina short-reads, RNAseq, and Hi-C sequencing data. We performed comparative genomic analysis to explore the evolution of genes, gene families, and genomes of C. hystrix and related Fagaceae species.

May 20, 2022 · In this study, we assembled and annotated the C. hystrix mitochondrial genome by using Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms, and compared it with other cucurbit crops, as well as developed relevant molecular markers, which provided detailed information for a better understanding of the mitochondrial genetics and evolution of Cucumis. 2.

Native to Southeast Asia, Citrus hystrix (Thai Lime or Kaffir Lime) is a thorny, multi-stemmed, evergreen shrub or small tree, prized for its citronella-scented foliage, profuse flowers, and bumpy green fruits.
