Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources

Abstract

Poncirus, a close relative of citrus, is a valuable genetic resource for the genetic improvement of citrus. It is resistant to many diseases and pests of citrus and is cold hardy. However, it has not been domesticated or commercialized on a large scale as it has inedible fruits. It is widely used as a rootstock for citrus and has largely been conserved along with it. To produce genetically improved combinations of rootstocks for use in citrus propagation, by sexual hybridization, Poncirus has been used as one of the parents. Ploidy manipulation has also been exploited for use in breeding programs. Poncirus genetic studies have progressed rapidly in recent years with it being used as a parent in intergeneric crosses with citrus for the construction of linkage maps, and the identification, tagging, and cloning of economically important genes. It is also valuable for the development of BAC and cDNA libraries, ESTs, etc., which are of great use in the whole-genome sequencing of citrus. In this chapter, the progress toward these efforts using Poncirus has been discussed.
