  • Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
    IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail.

  • Citrus Culture Grades 3- 4
    Citrus Culture Grades 3- 4 Objectives: In this lesson students will view Mission Inn Museum objects and artifacts to learn about the early history of Riverside through citrus culture and heritage. Students will have the opportunity to create their own citrus labels based on original examples, and will be challenged to create a fictional narrative wherein they describe their “successes and difficulties” as a citrus grower in early Riverside. Essential Question: Why was the citrus industry successful in Riverside? Introduction and Context for Teachers: Slides 1-2: Riverside resident Eliza Tibbets introduced the Navel Orange tree (known as the Bahia or Washington Parent Navel Orange – and aptly named for the fruit bottom’s resemblance to a belly button) to Riverside in 1873. The small clippings were originally from Bahia, Brazil, and were shipped to her by a contact at the United States Department of Agriculture. Her clippings did very well in Riverside’s climate and became very popular. The Navel Orange was highly sought after for its lack of seeds and thicker skin than other varieties. In order to create new trees, and since Navel Oranges have no seeds that can be planted, a process called “grafting” is required. Grafting is a process through which stems and branches from one tree are attached to the stalk of another tree. Eventually, the Navel Oranges and other citrus varieties led to what some writers termed California’s “other gold rush.” Slides 3-4: The climate and soil conditions of Inland Southern California proved to be perfect for the growth of citrus; an agriculture phenomenon that spans back to Spanish priests in the 1700s who successfully imported orange trees to plant around their missions.

Trafzer, Chairperson Dr. Larry E. Burgess Dr. Rebecca Kugel Copyright by Benjamin Thomas Jenkins 2016 The Dissertation of Benjamin Thomas Jenkins is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements Upon reflection, writing a dissertation seems not unlike summiting Mount Everest. The thrill of the challenge empowers the would-be climber at first, but soon the sheer enormity of the task overwhelms the senses. Only with the guidance of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual supporters does one have any hope of reaching the dissertation’s peak. Countless historians have written about agriculture and transportation in the American West, and many have focused specifically on topics pertaining to this study. Richard Orsi’s Sunset Limited, William Deverell’s Railroad Crossing, Donovan Hofsommer’s Southern Pacific, Ward McAfee’s California’s Railroad Era, and Keith Bryant’s History of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway have all shaped my understanding of the roles of railroads in the Golden State.
