Salibe and Ede Cereda ABSTRACT. Performance tests revealed a number of restrictions on the use of Volkamer lemon as rootstock: intolerance to xyloporosis (cachexia) viroid, develop- ment of budunion crease with certain scion varieties and appearance of wood pitting in the presence of severe strains of tristeza virus. Typical crease symptoms occurred at the union of trees of Serrana acidless, Pera Bianchi, Pera Santa Irene, nucellar Pera Vacinada and Pera Comprida oranges and Citrus macroptera scion varieties. Trees of nucellar Serrana orange on the same rootstock were healthy. Tests of four Volkameriana lemon selections for susceptibility to tristeza stem pitting virus, revealed that Acireale was more tolerant than Palermo, while Catania-1 and Catania-2 were intermediate. All selections showed good tolerance to severe strains of exocortis viroid. Orchard surveys showed the occurrence of symptoms of "citrus de- cline" in trees budded on Volkamer lemon.

Chaturvedi, Brajesh K. Tiwari and Dibyendu Paul Department of Environmental Studies, North Eastern Hill University Umshing, Meghalaya, India – 793022 *Corresponding author : [email protected] Abstract Seeds are an important means of propagation of Citrus species. Seeds of three wild Citrus namely; Citrus macroptera Montrouz., Citrus latipes (Swingle) Tanaka and Citrus indica Tanaka were germinated at 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C temperature to observe the effect of temperature on germination. Mean germination time and percentage seed germinated were recorded and used to determine optimum temperature for germination. Viability of seeds determined using chemical and germination tests yielded similar results. Optimum temperature for germination was found to be 28°C for C. macroptera and C. latipes and 26°C for C. indica. Keywords: Germination, wild, C. macroptera, C. latipes, C. indica, Meghalaya Introduction Citrus has been domesticated since ancient times, and where ‘natural’ populations are located, it is often difficult to determine whether they represent wild ancestors or are derived from naturalized forms of introduced varieties. Though relatively rare in wild, Citrus are mostly found as scattered trees in primary forests in remote areas rather than as pure stands. In India, a vast reservoir of Citrus diversity exists both in wild and in cultivated forms. North-eastern India is considered as natural home of many Citrus species with wide occurrence of indigenous species like C.

MABBERLEY Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, University of Leiden, The Netherlands; Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney 2000, Australia* Abstract Limau purut (Citrus hystrix DC), cultivated throughout SE Asia, appears to be a selected form of the wild limau hantu (C. macroptera Montr., i.e. C. auraria Michel), though its earliest scientific name may be C. fusca Lour. Complete synonymy with types is presented in a provisional arrangement of 'wild' plants and cultivars. Suggestions for further work on C. hystrix and its relations with other cultivated citrus are made. X Citroncirus is formally reduced to Citrus and a new name proposed for the citrange root-stock, Citrus x insitorum Mabb. A diagram of the relationships through hybridity of cultivated citrus is presented. Introduction Characteristic of Thai cooking, worldwide, are lime-leaves (limau purut, Citrus hystrix DC), chopped fine better to release their oils. The fruits are not used for food, because, unlike those of species and hybrids placed in 'subg. Citrus', those of C. hystrix and other species placed in 'subgen. Papeda (Hassk.) Swingle' are almost inedible due to the acrid oil in the vesicles surrounding the seeds (Mabberley, 1997). They have been used medicinally, and in Sri Lanka the English name is leech-lime because they are used as a leech-repellent. In the Malay Peninsula the fruits were a soap substitute and sold for this purpose (Burkill, 1931), a practice still prevalent in Cambodia (Boeun Sok, Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, pers.

However, little is known about the potentially large and novel aromatic diversity contained in these wild citruses. In this study, we characterized and compared the essential oils obtained from peels and leaves from representatives of both Papeda groups, and three related hybrids. Using a combination of GC, GC-MS, and 13C-NMR spectrometry, we identified a total of 60 compounds in peel oils (PO), and 76 compounds in leaf oils (LO). Limonene was the major component in almost all citrus PO, except for C. micrantha and C. hystrix, where β-pinene dominated (around 35%).

  • 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.

  • Limitations on the Use of Volkamer Lemon As Rootstock for Citrus
    Limitations on the Use of Volkamer Lemon as Rootstock for Citrus Ary A. Salibe and Ede Cereda ABSTRACT. Performance tests revealed a number of restrictions on the use of Volkamer lemon as rootstock: intolerance to xyloporosis (cachexia) viroid, develop- ment of budunion crease with certain scion varieties and appearance of wood pitting in the presence of severe strains of tristeza virus. Typical crease symptoms occurred at the union of trees of Serrana acidless, Pera Bianchi, Pera Santa Irene, nucellar Pera Vacinada and Pera Comprida oranges and Citrus macroptera scion varieties. Trees of nucellar Serrana orange on the same rootstock were healthy. Tests of four Volkameriana lemon selections for susceptibility to tristeza stem pitting virus, revealed that Acireale was more tolerant than Palermo, while Catania-1 and Catania-2 were intermediate. All selections showed good tolerance to severe strains of exocortis viroid. Orchard surveys showed the occurrence of symptoms of "citrus de- cline" in trees budded on Volkamer lemon.
