Citrus breeding, genetics and genomics in Japan
Citrus is one of the most cultivated fruits in the world, and satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) is a major cultivated citrus in Japan. Many excellent cultivars derived from satsuma mandarin have been released through the improvement of mandarins using a conventional breeding method. The citrus breeding program is a lengthy process owing to the long juvenility, and it is predicted that mark...
متن کاملGenome wide selection in Citrus breeding.
Genome wide selection (GWS) is essential for the genetic improvement of perennial species such as Citrus because of its ability to increase gain per unit time and to enable the efficient selection of characteristics with low heritability. This study assessed GWS efficiency in a population of Citrus and compared it with selection based on phenotypic data. A total of 180 individual trees from a c...
متن کاملAdvances in table grape breeding in Japan
In Japan, few grape cultivars related to Vitis vinifera existed 200 years ago, on account of Japan's high rainfall. Many V. labruscana and vinifera cultivars were introduced to Japan in the 19th century. Labruscana was grown instead of vinifera, mainly because of severe disease problems and a high incidence of berry cracking. Grape breeding for table use started in the 20th century, with the go...
متن کاملBiotechnology and apple breeding in Japan
Apple is a fruit crop of significant economic importance, and breeders world wide continue to develop novel cultivars with improved characteristics. The lengthy juvenile period and the large field space required to grow apple populations have imposed major limitations on breeding. Various molecular biological techniques have been employed to make apple breeding easier. Transgenic technology has...
متن کاملIn Vivo and in Vitro Mutation Breeding of Citrus
Spontaneous mutations are important for the development of new Citrus varieties, but these mutations appear at a low frequency in nature. In contrast, induced mutagenesis using radiation or chemical mutagens can increase the rate of mutation many fold, which increases the genetic variability that is available for selection. However, few induced mutants have been officially released for cultivat...
