Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) is one of the most important types of citrus grown world-wide, especially in China and Japan. It is also produced in California from mid-October to January. Several new Satsuma mandarin cultivars, originally from Japan or China, were introduced into California in the past few years. We intend to identify different Satsuma mandarin cultivars in California using A...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss are important in food products. it seems that cultivars have a profound influence on these factors. the goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components and juice quality parameters of two mandarin cultivars. in the last week of january 2012, at least 10 mature fruit were collected and their peel oil was extracted using cold-p...

Because most regions of Japan are in the temperate climate zone, many deciduous and evergreen fruit crops are cultivated in Japan. In addition to fruit cultivation in the temperate zone, some southern areas, such as the Ryukyu Islands that stretch from Kyushu to Taiwan, are at the northern limits for tropical fruit production without the need of artificial heating. At present, annual fruit prod...

Peel and leaf oils of 58 mandarin cultivars, belonging to 15 different species were obtained from fruits and leaves collected on mandarin-trees submitted to the same pedoclimatic and cultural conditions. Their chemical composition was investigated by capillary GC, GC/MS and 13C NMR and the results were submitted to a cluster analysis and a discriminant analysis. Three major chemotypes, limonene...

Genetic relationship among 17 citrus commercially important cultivars, including local and some hybrid varieties of Pakistan was evaluated by RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers. Fifteen decamer primers were selected out of 25 primers that produced 153 polymorphic bands with 13bands per primer on an average with a total of 188 bands. To analyze the genetic similarity or dissimilarit...
