  2. Somatic Hybridization – Scion Improvement • - building high quality tetraploid breeding parents • - triploid recovery from interploid crosses • Somatic Cybridization • -transfer of Satsuma CMS (Cytoplasmic Male Sterility) • cytoplasm to seedy cultivars for potential seedlessness • -Somatic Hybridization – Rootstock Improvement • -somatic hybridization of complementary parents • - building a better sour orange – fusion of selected • mandarin + pummelo parents

  15. Somatic Hybrid Pollen Parents Used For Mandarin • Citrus Fruit Improvement To Date Include: • Nova mandarin + Succari sweet orange • Valencia sweet orange + Murcott tangor • Succari sweet orange + Murcott tangor • Rohde Red Valencia + Dancy mandarin • Succari + Page tangelo • Valencia + Page tangelo • Succari + Minneola tangelo • Hamlin sweet orange + Ponkan mandarin • Hamlin + LB8-4 (Clementine x Minneola) • Valencia + (Robinson x Temple) • Pink Marsh grapefruit + Murcott • Succari + Dancy • Murcott + LB8-9 tangelo • Nova + Osceola mandarin

  16. Interploid hybridization using tetraploid somatic • hybrids as pollen parents to produce seedless • triploids for mandarin improvement: • more than 12000 triploids produced to date,many fathered by somatic hybrids • (under direction of FG Gmitter,CREC) • oldest hybrids are now fruiting and most are seedless!!!!!

  17. NOVA + SUCCARI SOMATIC HYBRID FRUIT (father of several hundred triploid progeny)

  18. Valencia + (Robinson x Temple)harvested January 22,2004brix=11.4, acid=0.57, ratio=203 seeds/fruit

  19. Rohde Red Valencia + Dancyharvested January 28,2004brix=11.4, acid=1.57, ratio= 7.263 seeds/fruit

  20. Nova + Osceolaharvested December 6, 2005brix= 14.8, acid=1.15, ratio= 12.9

  21. EMBRYO RESCUE • Facilitates triploid plant recovery from interploid crosses (circumvents embryo abortion due to endosperm failure) • Also useful for triploid recovery exploiting • 2n gametes (unreduced) from cultivars such as • Clementine and Temple (several thousand • triploids recovered at IVIA, Spain)

  22. New triploid mandarin hybrids following embryo rescue and micro-grafting (F.G. Gmitter, Jr.)

  23. MID-TERM SCION CANDIDATES (5-10 years) Crec-9505 triploid mandarin hybrid • > 12000 triploid mandarin hybrids (FG Gmitter, Jr.) • Focus: seedless fresh market • CREC 9505 – proof of concept – 0 seed! • many beginning to fruit!

  25. New Murcott + Dancy somatic hybrid

  26. Seedless fresh fruit varieties at the • Tetraploid level? • Seedless somatic hybrids with excellent • fruit quality: • Succari sweet orange + Page tangelo • - peelable, early maturing, excellent flavor • 2. Valencia sweet orange + Murcott tangor • - peelable, excellent flavor

  27. Succari + Page fruits taken on Sep 27, 2002 (seedless)

  28. Valencia + Murcott, fruits taken on Jan 15, 2003 (nearly seedless)

  29. SOMATIC CYBRIDIZATION • Unfused leaf protoplasts not capable of plant • regeneration • Diploid plants often regenerated from symmetric • fusions of embryogenic callus + leaf that are • morphologically identical to the leaf parent (from • more than 50 parental combinations). • RFLP analyses indicates that these plants are always • cybrids containing the mitochondrial genome of the • callus parent! The chloroplast genome inheritance is • random.

  30. PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF CYBRIDIZATION: • Transfer of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) from the • seedless Satsuma mandarin to other superior seedy diploid • commercial cultivars via symmetric fusion. • Objective: remove seed from successful cultivars without • otherwise altering cultivar integrity. • Cybrid combinations produced to date (Grosser, Guo, • Prasad and Deng): • Guoqing Satsuma + Hirado Buntan pink pummelo • Guoqing Satsuma + Sunburst mandarin • Guoqing Satsuma + (Clementine x Murcott) Lee hybrid • Guoqing Satsuma + LB8-9 (Clementine x Minneola)

  41. Breeding Canker Tolerant Triploid Seedless Grapefruit-like Hybrids X Tetraploid Somatic Hybrid Canker Tolerant Pummelo • Several good breeding parents now flowering • Hundreds of triploid hybrids already produced • Embryo rescue not required when tetraploid parent is used • as the female

  42. Interploid hybridization using tetraploid somatic • hybrids as pollen parents to produce seedless • triploids for acid-fruit (lemon/lime) improvement: • - other objectives: improved cold-hardiness and disease resistance (canker, witches broom); new industrial oils. • - more than 600 triploids produced to date • (Grosser, Viloria and Chandler,CREC)- • Somatic hybrid breeding parents include: • Mexican lime + Valencia • Mexican lime + Lakeland limequat • Valencia + Femminello lemon • Hamlin + Femminello lemon • Milam lemon + Femminello lemon • Early Gold sweet orange + C. micrantha
