Nagano3,4,5 & Mie N. Honjo3 & Hiroshi Kudoh3 & Masashi Yamamoto6 Received: 31 July 2017 /Revised: 27 November 2017 /Accepted: 25 December 2017 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The economically and nutritionally important genus Citrus belongs to the subfamily Aurantioideae in the family Rutaceae. Here, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of the subfamily Aurantioideae based on RAD-Seq. The RAD-Seq data produced phylogenetic trees with high support values, clear discriminations based on branch length, and elucidations of early branching events. Our genetic classification corresponded well with the classical morphological classification system and supported the subdivision of Citreae, one of two tribes of the Aurantioideae, into three subtribes—Triphasiinae, Citrinae, and Balsamocitrinae. Additionally, it was largely consistent with the subdivision of Clauseneae, the other tribe of the Aurantioideae, into three subtribes—Micromelinae, Clauseninae, and Merrillinae; the exception was Murraya paniculata. With the exception of members of primitive citrus fruit trees, namely, Severinia buxifolia and Hesperethusa crenulata, lower-level morphological groupings under subtribes based on genetic and morphological classifications corresponded well. The phylogenetic relationship between Asian Btrue citrus fruit trees^ (genera Citrus, Poncirus,and Fortunella) and Australian/New Guinean citrus fruit trees (genera Microcitrus, Eremocitrus,andClymenia) was incon- sistent between present classification based mainly on the nuclear genome and the previous classification based on the chloroplast genome. This inconsistency may be explained by chloroplast capture. Our findings provide a valuable insight into the genetic relationships of the subfamily Aurantioideae in the family Rutaceae.

    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.

    Nesom, G.L. 2014. Citrus trifoliata (Rutaceae): Review of biology and distribution in the USA. Phytoneuron 2014-46: 1–14. Published 1 May 2014. ISSN 2153 733X CITRUS TRIFOLIATA (RUTACEAE): REVIEW OF BIOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION IN THE USA GUY L. NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT Citrus trifoliata (aka Poncirus trifoliata , trifoliate orange) has become an aggressive colonizer in the southeastern USA, spreading from plantings as a horticultural novelty and use as a hedge. Its currently known naturalized distribution apparently has resulted from many independent introductions from widely dispersed plantings. Seed set is primarily apomictic and the plants are successful in a variety of habitats, in ruderal habits and disturbed communities as well as in intact natural communities from closed canopy bottomlands to open, upland woods. Trifoliate orange is native to southeastern China and Korea. It was introduced into the USA in the early 1800's but apparently was not widely planted until the late 1800's and early 1900's and was not documented as naturalizing until about 1910. Citrus trifoliata L. (trifoliate orange, hardy orange, Chinese bitter orange, mock orange, winter hardy bitter lemon, Japanese bitter lemon) is a deciduous shrub or small tree relatively common in the southeastern USA. The species is native to eastern Asia and has become naturalized in the USA in many habitats, including ruderal sites as well as intact natural commmunities. It has often been grown as a dense hedge and as a horticultural curiosity because of its green stems and stout green thorns (stipular spines), large, white, fragrant flowers, and often prolific production of persistent, golf-ball sized orange fruits that mature in September and October.
