Breeding for Trait Improving Ornamental Flower

Citrus belongs to the Rutaceae family and is one of the most important fruit crops in the world. Major citrus cultivars such as sweet orange, Clementine, lemon, grapefruit, and Satsuma contain macronutrients ,micronutrients, and dietary fiber. They are also rich in antioxidant compounds. However, there is an increased demand for new, high-quality varieties that are easy to peel and can meet consumer demands quickly.

Considerable efforts have been made in citrus breeding. Among the many citrus varieties, several have been developed through conventional methods such as mutagenesis, interspecific and intraspecific hybridization, and clonal selection. But traditional citrus breeding is a long-term and expensive process; obtaining offspring and evaluating their traits takes a long time and resources. Furthermore, sexual breeding is not always possible because some varieties used for crosses are incompatible, sterile, or polyembryonic. Furthermore, in many cases, backcrossing is required after breeding to restore the superior characteristics of the improved variety, thus extending the breeding program further.
