Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive, yet incurable disease of citrus. Finding sources genetic resistance to HLB-associated ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) becomes strategic warrant crop sustainability, but no resistant Citrus genotypes exist. Some relatives family Rutaceae, subfamily Aurantioideae, were described as full-resistant Las, they are phylogenetically far, thus incompatible with . Partial was indicated for certain cross-compatible types. Moreover, other from...
Abstract Citriculture is an important agricultural activity worldwide, occupying a relevant position in Brazil among fruit tree production for both the fresh market and processing industry concentrated orange juice export. Recent advances country’s citrus nursery system have been essential to guarantee efficiency competitiveness of Brazilian citriculture. The implementation strict laws regulations produce trees protected environments improvements techniques basic propagation materials São...
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) is an unculturable, phloem-limited, insect-transmitted bacterium associated with the Asiatic form of huanglongbing (HLB), most destructive citrus disease. In Asia and Americas, it transmitted by Asian psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwavama). Despite considerable research, little known about processes involved in plant infection colonization Las. This study was conducted to determine whether basal portion (below girdling) important route for Las move...
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate types cuttings, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations, and potting media on the rooting passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) cultivars, compare initial performance flowering-competent cuttings cultivated in a trellising system or nonstaking method ground covered with plastic mulch. cultivars evaluated were BRS Gigante Amarelo, Isla Redondo FB 200 Yellow Master evaluated. assessed treatments were: softwood semi-hardwood cuttings; five...
ABSTRACT The Pera sweet orange tree is the most cultivated scion variety in Brazil, mainly grafted onto Rangpur lime rootstock. Despite its drought tolerance, susceptible to various citrus diseases. More recently, trifoliate and hybrids have been used as alternative rootstocks, but genotypes are graft-incompatible with Pera. In this study, we assessed long-term performance of IAC orange, which a pre-immunized clone against tristeza virus, 11 orange-derived one somatic hybrid standard lime....
As in several fruit crops, citrus trees with decreased size allow for a higher planting density, which may lead to productivity and facilitate operations such as harvesting spraying. The use of dwarfing rootstocks is one the most feasible methods tree control, but few commercial varieties are available date. In this work, long-term performance Valencia sweet orange grafted onto 51 hybrid was evaluated rainfed cultivation at 6.0 m × 2.5 spacing Northern São Paulo State, Brazil. About third...
ABSTRACT In the State of Bahia, Brazil, citrus industry is located on north coast with prevalence combination ‘Pera’ sweet orange ‘Rangpur’ lime. Scion-rootstock diversification may contribute to increase yield and extension harvest season, as long decrease risk associated abiotic biotic stresses. Therefore, performance ‘Tuxpan Valencia’ grafted onto 14 rootstocks was evaluated in Rio Real – BA. Planting performed 2006 under rainfed cultivation cohesive ultisol tree spacing 6.0 m x 4.0 m....
This collaborative work by over 180 researchers from 40+ countries addresses the challenges posed “phantom agents”—putative pathogenic agents named in literature without supporting data on their existence. Those remain regulatory lists, creating barriers trade and plant certification. Historically identified based solely symptoms, these lack isolates or sequence data, making reliable detection risk assessment impossible. After reviewing 120 such across 10 key genera, we recommend removal...
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o crescimento vegetativo, a produção e qualidade de frutos da tangerina 'Span Americana' em diferentes porta-enxertos, nas condições edafoclimáticas Bebedouro-SP. O plantio foi realizado junho 2003, espaçamento 6,0 m x 3,0 m, sendo utilizada irrigação por gotejamento partir 2006. Os porta-enxertos avaliados foram: citranges [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck × Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf] 'Carrizo' 'Troyer', tetraploides; trifoliatas (P. trifoliata) 'Davis A' 'Flying...
The Brazilian and other citrus industries will likely require, among technologies, the use of rootstocks that are suitable for higher planting densities with high production efficiency quality fruits tolerant to abiotic biotic stresses. Considering this approach, hybrid have been obtained by Citrus Breeding Program Embrapa Cassava & Fruits, in Cruz das Almas, Bahia State, Brazil. One experiment evaluating first three commercial crops âValenciaâ sweet orange budded on several ColA´mbia,...
In Brazilian regions affected by the citrus sudden death disease, sweet orange cultivation depends on use of resistant rootstocks. Rangpur lime was mainly replaced Swingle citrumelo and Sunki mandarin rootstocks, more drought-sensitive ones. The diversification scion selections is also desirable aiming at increasing demand for not from concentrate juice (NFC) that requires high-quality fruits. this work, we evaluated performance 6 Valencia (IAC, Dom João, Late Burjasot IVIA 35-2, Rhode Red...
A diversificação de uso porta-enxertos citros é importante no Brasil devido à presença diversos estresses abióticos e bióticos, além da busca por atributos horticulturais desejáveis como nanismo, alta eficiência produção indução boa qualidade aos frutos. Para a seleção um genótipo com potencial porta-enxerto, porém, o desempenho na fase propagação também relevante. Assim, caracterizaram-se os frutos avaliou-se em ambiente protegido híbridos obtidos ou selecionados pelo Programa Melhoramento...
'Persian' lime (PL) [Citrus latifolia (Yu. Tanaka) Tanaka] is an important species both for domestic fresh fruit consumption in Brazil as well the export market, since country one of largest producers world despite fact that, commercial plantations, it still not uncommon to find trees with low productivity and high plant vigor unknown origin. Selections Persian 'CNPMF–2000', 'CNPMF–2001', 'CNPMF–01', 'CNPMF–02', 'IAC–5', 'IAC–5.1', 'Bearss', 'Persian–58', '5059', were therefore grafted onto...
Brazil is the world’s largest sweet orange producer, but production in state of Acre small and does not meet local demand, despite having climatic conditions that are adequate for its cultivation. The objective this study was to evaluate behavior ‘Pera’ using different rootstocks under edaphoclimatic Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. We grafted scion onto nine citrus rootstocks: ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin, TSKFL x CTTR – 013, LVK LCR 038, TSKC CTQT 1439 004, LVA 009, ‘Indio’citrandarin, ‘Santa Cruz...
