This book reviews how the release of the citrus genome facilitates
the investigation of ancestral species, the study of their complex
biological features, and the genetic basis of agronomic traits of
paramount importance for their sustainable cultivation. The first
chapters discuss citrus origin and distribution, and the economic
importance and varietal composition of the cultivated species,
providing an overview of citrus and related genera genetic
resources. The book then describes the role of traditional breeding
techniques (for scion and rootstocks) as well as the potential of
genomic breeding and innovative protocols for biotechnological
approaches. The second part provides essential information on the
genus Citrus, the attributes of pure citrus species, genetic
admixtures, hybrids and citrus relatives, and on the horticultural
classification of cultivated species, varieties and rootstocks. The
third part then focuses on the different molecular mechanisms,
covering various aspects of citrus biology, including the role of
beneficial compounds of citrus fruits. In addition, it examines the
molecular responses of citrus to abiotic stresses and to field and
post-harvest diseases. Providing insights gained in recent years,
it is a valuable guide for those who are interested in gene
discovery, comparative genomics, molecular breeding and new
breeding techniques. It is particularly useful for scientists,
breeders and students at universities and public sector institutes
involved in research for the citrus industry.
