Goals / Objectives
Evaluation of a field planting with an array of Poncirus hybrids and standard cultivars to ultimately identify which genes are associated for use in conventional and transgenic plant improvement.
Methods (unparsed)
Assess replicated trial with 8 plants of each of numerous citranges (from a well-characterized mapping population), other poncirus hybrids and standard cultivars. Material will be at USDA/ARS Picos Farm where Huanglongbing (HLB) and Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) are rampant and will be screened in response to natural exposure.
