  • Observations on Impietratura Disease Symptoms in Four Citrus Species
    Observations on Impietratura Disease Symptoms in Four Citrus Species A. Caruso, M. Davino and G. Terranova ABSTRACT. Citrus impietratura disease affects citrus cultivars in the Mediterranean Basin. The indexing of impietratura disease is based on symptoms on indicator plants such as Volkamer lemon or grapefruit or on the inspection of the trees in the field. This requires many years. In this paper the effects of a severe isolate of impietratura on sweet orange, Volkamer lemon, rough lemon and Marsh Seedless grapefruit is reported. Our observations indicate that rough lemon is a better indicator of fruit symptoms than Volkamer lemon, grapefruit and sweet orange. Index words. biological assay, albedo gumming, rough lemon.

  • Soluble Solids Accumulation in ʻvalenciaʼ Sweet Orange As Related to Rootstock Selection and Fruit Size
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 129(4):594–598. 2004. Soluble Solids Accumulation in ʻValenciaʼ Sweet Orange as Related to Rootstock Selection and Fruit Size Graham H. Barry1 and William S. Castle Citrus Research and Education Center, University of Florida, 700 Experiment Station Road, Lake Alfred, FL 33850-2299 Frederick S. Davies Department of Horticultural Sciences, University of Florida, P.O. Box 110690, Gainesville, FL 32611-0690 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Citrus sinensis, juice quality, soluble solids concentration (SSC) ABSTRACT. Juice quality of ʻValenciaʼ sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] trees on Carrizo citrange [C. sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] or rough lemon (C. jambhiri Lush.) rootstocks was determined for fruit harvested by canopy quadrant and separated into size categories to ascertain the direct role of rootstock selection on juice soluble solids concentration (SSC) and soluble solids (SS) production per tree of citrus fruit. SS production per fruit and per tree for each size category was calculated. Juice quality was dependent on rootstock selection and fruit size, but independent of canopy quadrant. Fruit from trees on Carrizo citrange had >20% higher SSCs than fruit from trees on rough lemon, even for fruit of the same size. Large fruit accumulated more SS per fruit than smaller fruit, despite lower juice content and SSC. Within rootstocks, SS content per fruit decreased with decreasing fruit size, even though SSC increased. Rootstock effect on juice quality was a direct rather than an indirect one mediated through differences in fruit size. The conventional interpretation of juice quality data that differences in SSC among treatments, e.g., rootstocks or irrigation levels, or fruit size, are due to “dilution” of SS as a result of differences in fruit size and, hence, juice volume, is only partly supported by these data.

  • Reaction of Tangerines Genotypes to Elsinoe Fawcettiiunder
    Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology 11: 77-81, 2011 Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding. Printed in Brazil Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Marcelo Claro de Souza1*, Eduardo Sanches Stuchi2 and Antonio de Goes3 Received 11 February 2010 Accepted 30 September 2010 ABSTRACT - A citrus scab disease, caused by Elsinoe fawcettii, is currently found in all citrus areas throughout Brazil. That being, given the importance of this casual agent, the behavior of tangerines and hybrids influenced by this pathogen was evaluated under natural infection conditions. This study was performed with plants around 15 years old without irrigation; 100 fruits of three plants were collected during harvest season, using a grade scale varying from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms) the level of disease severity was determined. Among the cultivars, citrus scab resistance was observed in Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; a mandarin hybrid (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) and a satsuma hybrid (C. unshiu x C. sinensis). Among the other genotypes, symptoms were observed with levels of severity ranging from 1 to 3, indicating moderate resistance. Key words: Citrus scab, citrus crop, resistant varieties. INTRODUCTION In Brazil, E. fawcettii is responsible for citrus scab. The disease is widespread in many humid, citrus-cultivating In many citrus production areas around the world, areas around the world and decreases fruit values on the Elsinoe fawcettii is one of the main fungi diseases found. fresh-fruit market (Feichtenberger et al. 1986).

  • 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.

  • Host Reactions of Citrus to Tristeza Virus in South Africa
    HOST REACTIONS OF CITRUS TO TRISTEZA VIRUS IN SOUTH AFRICA P. C. J. Oberholzerl University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa INTRODUCTION With the discovery, in 1947 (ll), that the "incompatibility reactions" between the rootstock of sour orange, Citrus aurantium Linn., and most scion varieties of citrus in South Africa are caused by tristeza virus, it became apparent that the causal virus must have been present there since about 1896. That date marks the beginning of commercial citrus culture in South Africa. when trees of several standard varieties were budded on sour orange rootstock and planted in various parts of the country. With the exception of commercial lemon clones, C. limon (Linn.) Burm., these trees all died. Subsequent importations of sweet orange, C. sinensis (Linn.) Osbeck, on sour orange from the United States of America suffered the same fate. Sour orange was then replaced by Rough lemon, C. jambhiri Lushington, which to this day has remained South Africa's main rootstock for practically all its commercial varieties of citrus. Later work by McClean (8, 9) has shown that tristeza occurs in practically all citrus plants grown out-of-doors in South Africa. Under normal circumstances the disease is perpetuated by clonal propagation from infected parent trees to Rough lemon or other rootstocks, which may have also become infected by means of the viruliferous aphid Toxoptera citricidus (Kirk.) even before the budding operation in the nursery took place. It may therefore be said that South Africa's citrus industry has developed in spite of the presence of tristeza, largely as a result of the high degree of tolerance possessed by its chief scion varieties, mainly sweet orange, when combined with Rough lemon and other tolerant rootstocks.
