Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV), genus Ophiovirus, causes an important disease in many countries. In growing regions where natural disease spread occurs, damage caused by the virus can be controlled using resistant or tolerant cultivars, but sensitivity of many species and hybrids of Citrus and...

Citrus trees, traditionally associated with Spanish Mediterranean agriculture, are particularly sensitive to water allocation fluctuations. In this area structural water resource deficits, as well as the gradual decline in citrus prices received by farmers, have promoted the co-plantation of other...

In citrus, the use of rootstocks promotes productivity, improves fruit quality and may confer resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. 'Rangpur' lime (Citrus limonia, Osbeck) is one of the most tolerant rootstock to drought and is largely used by the Brazilian citrus industry. Previous ...

Damage caused by Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV) could be avoided obtaining resistant cultivars by breeding, but the sensitivity of most citrus hosts to CPsV is unknown. To find potential sources of resistance we inoculated 63 cultivars and hybrids of Citrus and related genera [Citrus (36), ...

Our project was the expansion of appropriate cultivation techniques of King mandarin (Citrus nobilis Loureiro) to growers who have average-sized farms of 1,000 to 10,000 m² in southern Vietnam. In this region, most citrus trees are infected by huanglongbing (HLB) within two years of planting. The...

Spain is the world leader in citrus exportation. The Spanish citrus undertakings have been always export-oriented. Within the country, the Valencian Region, represents 75% of the total Spanish citrus exports. The majority of these exports are transported by road. In the global marketplace,...

Citrus is strongly affected by cyclical swings in their productions. This fact, among others, is reflected in the evolution of prices that are received by farmers. This instability results in an uncertain income for farmers, that in some cases is not even enough to cover production costs. The aim...

Despite considerable differences in morphology, the genera representing 'true citrus fruit trees' are sexually compatible, but their phylogenetic relationships remain unclear. Most of the important commercial species of Citrus are believed to be of interspecific origin. By studying SNP and indel...

In this study, physiological responses of Navelina orange budded on eight different citrus rootstocks to iron deficiency were investigated under high pH conditions. Navelina scion budded on Tuzcu 31-31 sour orange, Gou Tou sour orange, Volkameriana, Antalya Cleopatra mandarin, Carrizo citrange,...

The present work is a summary of the importance of citrus in the juice industry, and their reverse impact on citrus production.
