Evaluation of citrus germplasm for physico-chemical and morphological traits

Citrus fruit tree has great commercial importance with mandarin (Citrus reticulata) as the second most important citrus crop and includes a wide range of true hybrid cultivars; however, there is lack studies about characterization evaluation germplasm for Physico-chemical morphological traits. A study on varietal selection been underway at National Research Programme since 2005-06. Evaluation species various quantitative qualitative traits related to leaf, seed morphology phenotypic genotypic level using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers confirmed existence significant variability among all genotypes. The juice content maximum positive association pulp weight then weight, equatorial diameter polar respect only. TSS specific gravity was negatively correlated levels. Thus, molecular can be effective tool successful establishment genetic correlation different group. present review paper will emphasize through path analysis growth yield attributes.
