Background Material for a Study of Rootstocks .168. Background Material For A Study of Rootstocks A. H. Krezdorn The basicelement in any attempt to advanceknowledge is the ability to communicate. Eacharea of study requiresa speciallanguage of definitions and facts that enablethose involved to discussa subjectintelligently. The purposeof the following materialis to presenta readyreference of facts and terminology for usein this course. The materialis presented in brief form to servethe immediateinterests of the participants. Classification and Nomenclatureof Plants Classification. - Scientistshave classified plants, (placedthem into groupsbased on their relationshipto eachother) and then affixed names to these groups according to accepted rules of nomenclature. Classification is inexact becausethere is no way to determine the precise relationship of plants. Thus, plants may be grouped differently by equally able scien- tists who interpret available information differently. Perhapsfortunately, not many scientists are inclined to undertake the tremendous task of classifying large groups of plants. Walter T. Swingle, a U.S. Department of Agricultu re scientist wf10worked in Florida, is the universallyaccepted authority for the largefamily of plants that includesthe genusCitrus. All life is divided into that which is animaland that which is plant and then into groupsdecreasing in sizeand increas- ing in closenessof relationship. The position of citrus in the Plant Kingdomis: Division . Embryophyta Siphonogama Subdivision. Angiospermae Class . Dicotyledoneae Subclass . Archichlamydeae Order. Geraniales Suborder. Geraniineae Family. Rutaceae Subfamily. Aurantioideae The subfamily Aurantioideae is a ramer large category but wormy of mention becauseit contains not only the various kinds of commercial citrus but wild relatives, some which hybridize with citrus and some which have potential as rootstocks. Swingle has divided the subfamily Aurantioideae into tribes, subtribes, subtribal groups and genera as follows: Subfamily - Aurantioideae TribeI - Clauseneae Subtribe 1 . Micromelinae GenusI - Micromelum Subtribe2 - Clauseninae GenusI - Glycosmis GenusII . Clausena GenusIII - Murraya Subtribe3 - Merrillinae GenusI . Merrillia TribeII . Citreae Subtribe1 - Triphasiinae GenusI - Wenzelia GenusII . Monanthocitrus GenusIII . Oxanthera GenusIV . Merope GenusV - Triphasia GenusVI . Pamburus GenusVII - Luvunga .169- GenusVIII. Paramignya Subtribe2 . Citrinae GenusI . Severinia GenusII . Pleiospermum GenusIII . Burkillanthus GenusIV . limnocitrus GenusV - Hesperethusa GenusVI . Citropsis GenusVII. Atalantia GenusVIII - Fortunella GenusIX . Eremocitrus GenusX . Poncirus GenusXI . Microcitrus GenusXII. Citrus Subtribe3 - Balsamocitrinae GenusI - Swinglea GenusII - Aegle GenusIII . Afraegle GenusIV - Aeglopsis GenusV . Balsamocitrus GenusVI - Feronia GenusVII. Feroniella Nomenclature. - The ordinary laymandefines citrus asthe sweetoranges, tangerines, grapefruit, lemonsand lime fruit, commonly found on the grocery shelf under the citrus label. Growers, more knowledgeable of citrus technology, include unpalatable speciesand close relatives such as sour orange, trifoliate oranges, kumquats, and others in their definition of citrus. Scientists use the term citrus in several ways as follows: A. The subtribe C;tr;neaehas been divided into 3 citrus groups. Subtribe - Citrineae 1. Primitive Citrus Fruit Trees GenusI - Severinia GenusII . P/eiospermum GenusIII. Burki//anthus GenusIV. Limnocitros GenusV. Hesperethusa 2. Near-CitrusFruit Trees GenusI. Citropsis GenusII - Ata/antia 3. True Citrus Fruit Trees GenusI - Fortune//a (kumquats) GenusII. Eremocitrus GenusIII. Ponciros(trifoliate orange) GenusIV. C/ymenia GenusV. Microcitrus GenusVI - Citros (includescommon commercialcitrus types) Thus,the scientistmay usethe tenn citrus in a broad senseto meanthe commercialtypes of the genusCitrus, the inedibletypes of Citrusand certain Citrus relatives. B. The term Citrus; ie, citrus spelledwith a capital C and underlinedor italicized indicatesthe genericname of that group. All of the fruit marketedcommercially as citrus is includedin this genus.The kumquat, in the genusFortunella, is a minor exception. .170. Scientists and well-informed growers often use scientific botanical names. such as Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck. The .:ientific name can be divided into 3 parts the genus, Citrus, the speciesepithet sinensis and the author citation, (L.) Osbeck. The common name of this species is sweet orange or orange. The advantageof the scientific nameis that eachspecies, the basictaxonomic unit, can haveonly one nameand that nameis formed accordingto specificrules. The unfortunate fact, however,is that thosewho classifyplants may differ asto which plants should belongto a givengroup. This situation borderson the ridiculous in the genusCitrus which Swingledivided into only 16 species.Tyosaburo Tanaka from Japan,on the other hand,divided the samegenus or group of plants (Citrus) into over 145 species!Tanaka's classification is too unwieldy to be functional. Swingle'sis more usable than Tanaka'sbecause it is simple,but it is obviouslyin error in somecases. Scientists and professionalhorticulturists gen- erally useSwingle's system modified at times to include someof Tanaka'ssystem when modificationsappear appropriate. A briefsummary of Swingle'ssystem with occasionalcomparisons with Tanaka'ssystem is presentedbelow: Genus- Citrus 1. SubgenusCitrus, includesthose species with edible fruit and pulp not containingdrops of acrid or bitter oil. This subgenuscontains the following species: a. C. medica(citrons), a speciesvalued primarily for the useof its peel. The 'Etrog' variety or cultivar is used in certain religiousceremonies by Hebrewsand someselections of the 'Etrog', such asArizona 861 and USDA 60-31, arecommonly usedas indicator plantsto detect the exocortisvirus. b. C.limon (lemons),a speciesused by Swingleto include 811lemons, both acid and acidless. His classification is probably too inclusiveand certain exceptionsare commonly made,with C. limon primarily including the acid lemonsof commerce.Tanaka's classification includes the following types commonly usedas rootstocks: (1) C.jambhiri - rough lemon (2) C. limonia . Rangpurlime (3) c. volkameriana - Volkameriana lemon The 'Meyer' and 'Ponderosa'lemons are considered hybrids by Swinglebut separatespecies by Tanaka. c. C. aurantifolia (acid limes), a speciesincluding all acid limesaccording to Swingle. Somecommonly used exceptionsby Tanakaare: (1) C. aurantifolia. the 'Key', 'West Indian', 'Mexican' or 'Gallego'lime. The 'Key' lime is usedas an indicator plant for the tristezavirus. (2) C. latifolia - the 'Tahiti', 'Persian'or 'Bearss'lime. (3) C. macrophylla - the Alemow. Tanakadescribed this speciesas a lime-like fruit. Somefeel it is lemon. like and othersthat it is a hybrid of C. celebica. This specieshas become an important lemon rootstock in recentyears. (4) C. limetta - the limmetas,a group of lemon-likefruit with both acid and acidlessforms. (5) C. limmetoides - the Indian or Palestinesweet lime that is widely usedas a rootstock in someparts of the world. The Columbiansweet lime is indistinguishablefrom the standardPalestine sweet lime. d. C. aurantium (sour orange),a speciesused widely asa rootstock wherethe tristezavirus doesn'tprevent its use. There are numerousforms of sour orangeincluding a low acid type called bittersweet. (1) C. taiwanica. is a sour orange-likefruit with resistanceto certain forms of tristeza. (2) Australian sour orange - is a hybrid of unknown origin that is reputedly tolerant of tristeza;however, this selectionhas few if any characteristicsthat resemblesour orange. Callingthis fruit a sour orangeis misleading. e. C. reticulata (mandarins),a specieswith loose-peeledfruit that includesthe commontangerines and satsumas (Unshiu,Mikan) oranges.Tanaka divides this speciesinto severalas indicatedin the table below.

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.

  • Citrus Trifoliata (Rutaceae): Review of Biology and Distribution in the USA
    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.
