• Abstract

  The production of homozygous lines in citrus breeding programs by using conventional methods is difficult and time-consuming mainly because the problems related to the reproductive and biological characteristics of these species. The main characteristics are the polyembriony, longer juvenile period, high level of heterozygozity, sterility and some degree of auto-incompatibility. One faste…

• Abstract

  Production of homozygous lines in citrus traditional breeding program is difficult by some difficulties presented in citrus reproductive biology, such as: long juvenile stage, polyembrionic seeds, high heterozygosity and the presence of self-incompatibility in some species. The homozygous lines could be obtained more quickly using double-haploid technology, obtained by natural or induced…

• Abstract

  The citrus industry is a major agribusiness activity in Brazil and is based on the cultivation of sweet oranges varieties with yellow pulp. The production of blood oranges, which have the differential characteristic of fruits with red/purple color of the pulp and the juice due to anthocyanins production, can be considered as a new market opportunity for the Brazilian citrus industry. The…
