Abstract

This research aimed to morphological and ultrastructure studies of Lime peels (Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) in citrus diseases. Therefore, the application of microscopic techniques to examine the infestation of pathogens in plants in order to gain further insights into the deterioration of cells at the cellular and subcellular level in plants showing disease symptoms are currently commonly used to characterize their morphology and ultrastructure. In this study the morphology and cellular structure were explored through cell cross section studied with compound microscopy (OM). Cellular ultrastructure was examined under transmission electron microscope (TEM). In lime showed canker symptoms cellular degeneration which has been clearly morphological demonstrated within the cell organelles of chloroplasts enlarges in area of thylakoid messy and mitochondria have vacuoles were found.
