Somatic Hybridization of Citrus with Sexually Incompatible Wild Relatives 1

  • Chapter
Somatic Hybridization in Crop Improvement I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 27))

Abstract

Citrus is grown worldwide in regions with tropical and subtropical climates where there is enough water for growth, and the winter temperatures are not limiting for tree survival (Burke 1967). The citrus-producing regions occupy an area of the world that extends approximately 35° north latitude to 35° south latitude from the Equator (Burke 1967). From 1989–91, the world output of citrus fruit exceeded 65 millions tons (FAO, CI 91/5 1991a), making citrus one of the most important fruit crops in the world. Despite adverse weather in several countries, world Citrus output continued an upward trend from 1984 to 1991 (FAO, CI 91/5 1991b).
