  • New and Noteworthy Citrus Varieties Presentation
    New and Noteworthy Citrus Varieties Citrus species & Citrus Relatives Hundreds of varieties available. CITRON Citrus medica • The citron is believed to be one of the original kinds of citrus. • Trees are small and shrubby with an open growth habit. The new growth and flowers are flushed with purple and the trees are sensitive to frost. • Ethrog or Etrog citron is a variety of citron commonly used in the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. The flesh is pale yellow and acidic, but not very juicy. The fruits hold well on the tree. The aromatic fruit is considerably larger than a lemon. • The yellow rind is glossy, thick and bumpy. Citron rind is traditionally candied for use in holiday fruitcake. Ethrog or Etrog citron CITRON Citrus medica • Buddha’s Hand or Fingered citron is a unique citrus grown mainly as a curiosity. The six to twelve inch fruits are apically split into a varying number of segments that are reminiscent of a human hand. • The rind is yellow and highly fragrant at maturity. The interior of the fruit is solid rind with no flesh or seeds. • Fingered citron fruits usually mature in late fall to early winter and hold moderately well on the tree, but not as well as other citron varieties. Buddha’s Hand or Fingered citron NAVEL ORANGES Citrus sinensis • ‘Washington navel orange’ is also known • ‘Lane Late Navel’ was the first of a as the Bahia.

  • Macrophylla Is Highly Resistant to Phytophthora and Tolerant of Exocortis
    CITRUS ROOTSTOCKS FROM THE PAPEDA GROUP by W. P. Bitters, C, D. McCarty and D, A. Cole* Many citrus and near-citrus relatives have been tried as rootstocks. Of interest are some of the species and hybrids of the subgenus Papeda, the fruits of which differ from citrus mainly in that they are unedible because the pulp vesicles contain an acrid oil that gives the fruit a disagreeable flavor. Among the most widely used as rootstocks from the Papeda group are the naturally occurring hybrids Yuzu and Citrus macrophylla or Alemow. =, C. macrophylla has gained wide acceptance in California and Arizona as a rootstock for lemons. Seedlings of macrophylla are very vigorous and require a minimum of nursery care. Macrophylla buds well with all scion varieties of citrus, but its susceptibility to tristeza and cachexia rule it out for use in most areas except with lemons and limes. Macrophylla is highly resistant to Phytophthora and tolerant of exocortis. It does well on all soil types from sandy to heavy clay loams and has a high degree of resistance to calcareous and saline soils. *W. P. Bitters and D. A. Cole are members of the Department of Plant Science, CRC, UCR. C.D. McCarty is a member of the Agricultural Extension Service, UCR. -2- It shows perhaps the highest boron tolerance of all citrus rootstocks, and is also capable of absorbing micronutrients in slightly greater quantities than other citrus. Hence, trees on macrophylla are deep green in color and seldom show leaf patterns that denote micronutrient deficiencies. Young lemon trees on macrophylla are vigorous and precocious in bearing.

Either S,* or C was added to a basal diet with a low calcium content (+2* mg/d). The basal diet and the two experimental diets were each consumed for 0 d by six healthy young men according to a randomized and crossover design. The apparent absorp- tion and retention of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus from shirasuboshi were determined and were found to be significantly higher in the sudachi diet than in the control diet.

  • Japanese Citrus Fruit (Sudachi) Juice Is Associated with Increased Bioavailability of Calcium from Whole Small Fish and Suppressed Bone Resorption in Rats

It is eaten whole and commonly consumed in Japan. In this study, the effect of sudachi (Citrus sudachi) juice on calcium, magnesium and phosphorus bioavail ability, and bone metabolism in rats was examined. After 14 d of diets low in calcium and phosphorus, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed shirasuboshi diets containing dried shira suboshi powder treated with 20% (S20) or 40% (S40) sudachi juice, or distilled water (C) (0.5% Ca; 0.3% P) for 14 d. The apparent absorptions and retentions of calcium, magne sium and phosphorus from shirasuboshi were determined. Bone formation was calculated by measuring serum osteocalcin, and bone resorption by measuring urinary pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline. The apparent absorption and retention of calcium and magnesium in the S20 group were significantly higher than in the C and S40 groups. Although serum osteo calcin was not affected by the addition of sudachi juice, the urinary pyridinoline and deoxy pyridinoline concentrations in the S40 group were significantly lower than in the C and S20 groups.
