NPOP-IAC, headquartered at IAC in Campinas, has the main strategic objective of expanding the scientific and technological aiming to solve well-defined problems in three different and economically important cultures of Brazilian agribusiness, citrus, sugar cane and coffee. The adoption of the genomic and biotechnology themes is justified by the current state of the art of breeding program…
Citrus fruit for consumption as fresh fruit has been an excellent opportunity and alternative for the establishment of citrus growers in Brazil, mainly because fruits destined to fresh consumption have higher commercial value. Mandarin group of varieties, including common mandarin (Citrus reticulata), willow leaf mandarin (C. deliciosa) and several hybrids, such as tangors (C. reticulata …
Mandarins and their hybrids are the main group of citrus for the fresh fruit market. In the São Paulo State, Ponkan mandarin is the main variety under production and the greatest for consumer acceptance, mainly due to the easeness of peeling, taste and size of fruits. However, its susceptibility to alternaria brown spot, the main disease of mandarins, and its restricted production period…

Biotechnological tools, such as the early selection of hybrids by molecular markers, mapping traits of interest and gene expression studies, are being incorporated into Citrus classic breeding programs breeding in order not only to obtain new materials / varieties, but also to expand studies of genetic and disease resistance. The use of molecular markers in classical genetic improvement h…
The challenges to the genetic improvement in perennial plants using traditional strategies are big and they impose the aggregation of new tools in the study of the variability and of the inheritance to biotic factors. Molecular markers are an important tool in citrus genetic improvement programs through controlled hybridization. They are been used in the genetic characterization of parent…
