"The Genus Citrus presents the enormous amount of new knowledge that has been generated in recent years on nearly all topics related to citrus. Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles and understanding of citrus biology and behavior, the book provides a comprehensive view from Citrus evolution to current market importance. Reporting on new insights supported by the elucidation of the citrus genome sequence, it presents groundbreaking theories and fills in previous knowledge gaps. Because citrus is among the most difficult plants to improve through traditional breeding, citrus researchers, institutions and industries must quickly learn to adapt to new developments, knowledge and technologies to address the biological constraints of a unique fruit-tree such as citrus. Despite the challenges of working with citrus, tremendous progress has been made, mostly through advances in molecular biology and genomics. This book is valuable for all those involved with researching and advancing, producing, processing, and delivering citrus products. Key features -- Includes the most current research on citrus genomic information--Provides the first detailed description of citrus origin, a new proposal for citrus taxonomy, and a redefinition of the genus Citrus -- Details citrus challenges including climate change, global disease impacts, and plant improvement strategies."--Back cover

This monograph focuses important points related to growth habits in stone fruit trees and represents a significant contribution to the field of breeding for improved fruit tree growth habit. A team of experts in the field have produced an information platform based on an orderly and coordinated set of measured parameters. Each growth habit within a species is defined and discussed, terms are defined (glossary), objective tree growth data are presented, and reference cultivars are provided.Illustrations represent a useful visual guide to each growth type. This monograph thus seeks not only to describe the main tree habits found in five important stone-fruit species but also to identify the morphological keys unlocking their characterization and, in the process, provide some suggestions for their practical exploitation. La monografia illustra il particolare aspetto che concerne il portamento, o habitus, delle drupacee ed è il risultato del lavoro di un gruppo di ricercatori esperti del settore, che hanno raccolto ed elaborato dati scientifici sulle principali specie di drupacee, per caratterizzare i principali tipi di albero. Ogni portamento, per ciascuna specie, è stato definito sulla base di dati oggettivi ottenuti su gruppi omogenei di cultivar ed in particolare su idonee cultivar di riferimento. Oltre alle illustrazioni grafiche dei singoli portamenti e ad un approccio comparato tra le diverse specie, sono fornite anche le definizioni dei termini specifici (glossario). Il testo si propone quindi, non solo di descrivere i principali portamenti presenti in alcune specie di fruttiferi, ma anche di contribuire all’individuazione e alla definizione delle chiavi morfologiche ai fini della loro caratterizzazione, oltre a fornire suggerimenti utili per il loro pratico sfruttamento.

While products such as bananas, pineapples, kiwifruit and citrus have long been available to consumers in temperate zones, new fruits such as lychee, longan, carambola, and mangosteen are now also entering the market. Confirmation of the health benefits of tropical and subtropical fruit may also promote consumption further. Tropical and subtropical fruits are particularly vulnerable to postharvest losses, and are also transported long distances for sale. Therefore maximising their quality postharvest is essential and there have been many recent advances in this area. Many tropical fruits are p
