Description
Pablo Aleza and co-authors study in 2023 how doubled citrus trees pass their genes to offspring, a key for breeding seedless fruit. Trees with four gene sets make good parents for three-set crosses, and they also root better under stress. What pattern the four sets follow when passed on was the open question.
Three parents were tested: a pummelo and a mandarin, each from one species, and a sour orange that mixes both. Their family makeup shaped the passing pattern strongly, the title reports. Marker tests on two gene systems traced which copies each offspring got. Knowing the pattern lets breeders plan crosses that yield seedless fruit or hardy roots with fewer wasted trees.
