Recovery of Triploid Seedless Mandarin Hybrids from 2n × 2n and 2n × 4n Crosses by Embryo Rescue and Flow Cytometry

  • Chapter
Plant Biotechnology 2002 and Beyond

Abstract

Production of seedless citrus fruits is required for the fresh market, because consumers do not accept seedy fruits. In mandarins the number of high quality seedless varieties available is very low, and thus, the production of new seedless mandarin varieties has a high priority for many citrus industries worldwide. The recovery of triploid hybrids is the most promising approach to achieve this goal.
