For acid lemon/lime improvement, primary breeding
objectives include improved cold-hardiness and disease
resistance (citrus canker, citrus tristeza virus, and witches
broom), and potential new industrial oils. We have previously
shown that kumquat-derived resistance to citrus
canker can be transferred to triploid lime-like hybrids when
using canker resistant ‘Lakeland limequat’ as a parent
(Viloria et al. 2004). For grapefruit/pummelo improvement,
primary breeding objectives include improved
resistance to citrus canker, fruit quality (flavor and color),
and extended maturity seasons. Also of interest is the
potential to reduce or eliminate furanocoumarins in new
grapefruit-like cultivars. Furanocoumarins are the chemicals
found in all commercial grapefruit cultivars that
