Citrus impietratura disease affects citrus cultivars in the Mediterranean Basin. The indexing of impietratura disease is based on symptoms on indicator plants such as Volkamer lemon or grapefruit or on the inspection of the trees in the field. This requires many years. In this paper the effects of a severe isolate of impietratura on sweet orange, Volkamer lemon, rough lemon and Marsh Seedless grapefruit is reported.

Printed in Brazil Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Marcelo Claro de Souza1*, Eduardo Sanches Stuchi2 and Antonio de Goes3 Received 11 February 2010 Accepted 30 September 2010 ABSTRACT - A citrus scab disease, caused by Elsinoe fawcettii, is currently found in all citrus areas throughout Brazil. That being, given the importance of this casual agent, the behavior of tangerines and hybrids influenced by this pathogen was evaluated under natural infection conditions. This study was performed with plants around 15 years old without irrigation; 100 fruits of three plants were collected during harvest season, using a grade scale varying from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms) the level of disease severity was determined. Among the cultivars, citrus scab resistance was observed in Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; a mandarin hybrid (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) and a satsuma hybrid (C. unshiu x C. sinensis). Among the other genotypes, symptoms were observed with levels of severity ranging from 1 to 3, indicating moderate resistance. Key words: Citrus scab, citrus crop, resistant varieties.

Citrus blight (CB), first described over 100 years ago, was shown in 1984 to be transmitted by root-graft inoculations; the cause remains unknown and is controversial. Based on graft transmission, it is considered to be an infectious agent by some; others suggest that the cause of CB is abiotic. Citrus varie- gated chlorosis, although probably long present in Argentina, where it was considered to be a variant of CB, was identified as a specific disease and shown to be caused by a strain of Xylella fastidiosa after if reached epidemic levels in Brazil in 1987. Citrus psorosis, described in 1933 as the first virus disease of citrus, is perhaps one of the last to be characterized. In 1988, it was shown to be caused by a very unusual virus. The cause of lettuce big vein appears to be a viruslike agent that is transmitted by a soilborne fungus. Double-stranded RNAs were associated with the disease, suggesting it may be caused by an unidentified RNA virus.

  • Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 1
    Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Lecture 32 Citrus Citrus: Citrus spp., Rutaceae Citrus are subtropical, evergreen plants originating in southeast Asia and the Malay archipelago but the precise origins are obscure. There are about 1600 species in the subfamily Aurantioideae. The tribe Citreae has 13 genera, most of which are graft and cross compatible with the genus Citrus. There are some tropical species (pomelo). All Citrus combined are the most important fruit crop next to grape. 1 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 The common features are a superior ovary on a raised disc, transparent (pellucid) dots on leaves, and the presence of aromatic oils in leaves and fruits. Citrus has increased in importance in the United States with the development of frozen concentrate which is much superior to canned citrus juice. Per-capita consumption in the US is extremely high. Citrus mitis (calamondin), a miniature orange, is widely grown as an ornamental house pot plant. History Citrus is first mentioned in Chinese literature in 2200 BCE. First citrus in Europe seems to have been the citron, a fruit which has religious significance in Jewish festivals. Mentioned in 310 BCE by Theophrastus. Lemons and limes and sour orange may have been mutations of the citron. The Romans grew sour orange and lemons in 50–100 CE; the first mention of sweet orange in Europe was made in 1400. Columbus brought citrus on his second voyage in 1493 and the first plantation started in Haiti. In 1565 the first citrus was brought to the US in Saint Augustine. 2 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Taxonomy Citrus classification based on morphology of mature fruit (e.g.

Wood samples were taken from healthy and blighted citrus trees on several rootstocks to describe and compare the xylem anatomy of the healthy trees and to determine if blight altered xylogenesis. Horizontal trunk xylem cores, 6 cm long, were extracted from blighted 18-year-old commercial grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) trees on rough lemon (RL) (C. jambhiri Lush.), Cleopatra mandarin (CM) (C. reshni Hort. ex Tan.), and Carrizo citrange (CC) [C. sinensis (L). Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf] and from healthy trees on those rootstocks and sour orange (SO) (C. aurantium L.). Cores were taken from the eastern and western sides of the scion and rootstock of each tree. The cores were divided into 2-cm pieces and cross-sections were prepared for analysis of vessel element (VE) number and diameter in 0.5-cm increments. A sample-size study showed that tree side was not a significant source of variation and that 10 replications were sufficient to detect differences of ≈12% from the overall mean. Among the healthy trees, VE densities and diameters were similar for the trees on CC or RL and larger than those for trees on SO or CM.

  • Rangpur Lime Disease and Its Relatiomship to Exocortis
    RANGPUR LIME DISEASE AND ITS RELATIOMSHIP TO EXOCORTIS Instituto Agronomico, Campinas, Sgo Paulo, Brazil INTRODUCTION The Rangpur lime has been used in Brazil more or less extensively as a rootstock for several orange varieties since the early citrus plantings were established. When the tristeza disease invaded and destroyed those Brazilian citrus groves which were budded on sour orange- and sweet lime (lima da Persia), it was demonstrated (5)*, that the Rangpur lime was tolerant to tristeza virus. Since then, nurserymen and growers have favored its use as rootstock for many kinds of citrus plants. However, the young plant- ing~soon showed symptoms of a "new disease" that seemed to be related to the Rangpur lime rootstock. The behavior of Poncirus trifoliata and Rana~ur-1 lime as rootstocks for some sweet orange, grapefruit, and mandarin clones in the tests at the Limeira, RibeirSo Preto, and Tiet6 Stations gave us evidence that the "new disease" was caused by the exocortis virus (6).Olson and Shull (9),in Texas, and Reitz and Knorr (lo), in Florida, were able to confirm that thesis. Olson and Shull demonstrated also that Rangpur l&e shows xyloporosis symptoms when as a rootstock it has been budded with infected scion varieties. Grant et al. (3) reported later that they found xyloporosis symptoms on Rangpur- - lime in Brazil. This paper reports on additional studies made in Brazil on transmission of exocortis virus, symptomat~log~of affected trees, and the effects of the disease on fruit produc- tion. MATERIALS AND RESULTS Incubation Period in Young Trees. One hundred Rangpur lime seedlings were budded in the nursery in May, 1950, with clonal buds from the following varieties (20 each) : Bahianinha, Bargo, and Pera oranges, Marsh seedless grapefruit, and Eureka lemon.
