  • TRISTEZA the Worldwide Threat from Destructive Isolates of Citrus
    TRISTEZA The Worldwide Threat from Destructive Isolates of Citrus Tristeza Virus-A Review C. N. Roistacher and P. Moreno ABSTRACT. This paper reviews the effects of extremely destructive forms of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) which poses serious threats to citrus industries worldwide. These include Capao Bonito CTV in Brazil, navel orange stem pitting CTV in Peru, stem pitting 12B CTV found in the university orchards in Southern California, severe grapefruit stem pitting CTV found in South Africa, recent forms of CTV responsible for decline of sweet orange on sour orange rootstock in Florida and Israel and other severe CTV isolatesreported from Spainand elsewhere. Many ofthesedestructive CTVisolates are transmitted by Toxoptera citricidus but most can be transmitted by Aphis gossypii at relatively high levels of efficiency. The impact of recent changes in aphid transmissibility and population dynamics, and the threat of movement of T. citricidus into new regions of the world are reviewed. The appearance and impact of new strains or mutants of CTV differing in pathogenic capacities or in aphid transmissibility are discussed. Methods for the identification of new or destructive isolates of CTV are also reviewed. Concepts for prevention which include quarantine, eradication and education are presented. The immediate need is to test for presence of CTV in those countries where sour orange is the predominant rootstock. Also, to test for and eliminate very destructive forms of CTV, to strengthen quarantine laws and regulations, and to educate scientists, nurseryman and growers to the dangers involved in budwood importation and virus or vector spread. Tristeza, caused by the citrus ravages of tristeza once it begins to tristeza virus (CTV) remains today as spread.

  • 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.

  • Citrus Canker in California
    Ex ante Economics of Exotic Disease Policy: Citrus Canker in California Draft prepared for presentation at the Conference: “Integrating Risk Assessment and Economics for Regulatory Decisions,” USDA, Washington, DC, December 7, 2000 Karen M. Jetter, Daniel A. Sumner and Edwin L. Civerolo Jetter is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Agricultural Issues Center (AIC). Sumner is director of AIC and a professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California, Davis. Civerolo is with the USDA, Agricultural Research Service and the Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Davis. This research was conducted as a part of a larger AIC project that dealt with a number of exotic pests and diseases and a variety of policy issues. Ex ante Economics of Exotic Disease Policy: Citrus Canker in California 1. Introduction This paper investigates the economic effects of an invasion of citrus canker in California. We consider the costs and benefits of eradication under alternatives including the size of the infestation, whether it occurs in commercial groves or in urban areas, and various economic and market conditions. The impacts of various eradication scenarios are compared to the alternative of allowing the disease to become established again under various conditions, including the potential for quarantine. We do not consider here the likelihood of an infestation or the specifics of exclusion policies. Rather we focus on economic considerations of eradication versus establishment. 2. A background on the disease, its prevalence, and spread Citrus canker is a bacterial disease of most commercial Citrus species and cultivars grown around the world, as well as some citrus relatives (Civerolo, 1984; Goto 1992a; Goto, Schubert 1992b; and Miller, 1999).

  • 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 Bacterial Canker Disease and Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening)
    PUBLICATION 8218 Citrus Bacterial Canker Disease and Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening) MARYLOU POLEK, Program Manager and Plant Pathologist, Citrus Tristeza Virus Program, California Department of Food and Agriculture, Tulare; GEORGIOS VIDALAKIS, Director, Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP), Department of Plant Pathology, University of UNIVERSITY OF California, Riverside; and KRIS GODFREY, Senior Environmental Research Scientist, CALIFORNIA Biological Control Program, California Department of Food and Agriculture, Sacramento Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources INTroduCTioN http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu Compared with the rest of the world, the California citrus industry is relatively free of diseases that can impact growers’ profits. Unfortunately, exotic plant pathogens may become well established before they are recognized as such. This is primarily because some of the initial symptoms mimic other diseases, mineral deficiencies, or toxicities. In addition, development of disease symptoms caused by some plant pathogenic organisms occurs a long time after initial infection. This long latent period results in significantly delayed disease diagnosis and pathogen detection. Citrus canker (CC) and huanglong- bing (HLB, or citrus greening) are two very serious diseases of citrus that occur in many other areas of the world but are not known to occur in California. However, if the patho- gens causing these diseases are introduced into California, they will create serious prob- lems for the state’s citrus production and nursery industries. CiTrus BACTerial CaNker Disease Citrus bacterial canker disease (CC) is caused by pathotypes or variants of the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis (formerly campestris) pv. citri (Xac). This bacterium is a quar- antine pest for many citrus-growing countries and is strictly regulated by international phytosanitary programs.

  • Mexican Lime
    MEXICAN LIME Commercial citrus production in the Yuma area is devoted primarily to tangelo/tangerines, a distant second to desert lemons, the major citrus fruit grown in the area. Mexican limes, however, fit into a local niche market, with the small acreage grown essentially for local markets. · Of the two acid, or sour, limes in world trade, the one longest known and most widely cultivated is the Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifoli), and many often refer the tangy fruit merely as "lime". · The Mexican lime tree is exceptionally vigorous; may be shrubby and range from 6 1/2 to 13 feet high, with many slender, spreading branches, and usually with numerous, very sharp spines to 3/8 inch long. The lime fruits are borne singly or in 2's or 3's (or sometimes large clusters), at the twig tips. The pulp of the Mexican lime is greenish-yellow and the fruits are quite juicy, very acid and flavorful, with few or many small seeds which are also green in color. · The Mexican lime, because of its special bouquet and unique flavor, is ideal for serving in half as a garnish and flavoring for fish and meats, for adding zest to cold drinks, and for making limeade. Commercially bottled lime juice is prized the world over for use in mixed alcoholic drinks. · Limes are a very juicy citrus fruit. In fact, it is calculated that 2,200 lbs of fruit yields 1,058 pounds of juice. · Mexican limes are often made into jam, jelly and marmalade. They are also pickled by first making 4 incisions at the top of the fruit and covering the fruits with salt, and later preserv- ing them in vinegar.
