Germplasm exploitation for citrus - Enea
Citrus breeding at CREA: cultivar release

Started in the 1940’s. At least
three generations of breeders
involved. Many varieties released
to the growers
  Pigmented oranges
  Mandarins (clementine selections, diploid
   and triploid hybrids)
  Lemons
  Rootstocks
  Sanitation and evaluation of local and
   foreign selections

Germplasm exploitation for citrus - Enea
From germplasm conservation to its utilization

 Sicily has been a centre for clonal diversification for blood oranges and lemons due
  to the long history of cultivation
 Despite a wide range of differences in horticultural traits, all (in case of sweet
  orange) or almost all (in case of lemon) variability was determined by somatic
  mutations

 evaluation of fruit quality and
  year-to-year stability of pulp              Looking for mal secco tolerance
  pigmentation                                 or resistance
 Whole genome resequencing for               Generation of segregating
  clonal       fingerprinting      and         populations for mal secco
  identification      of      causative        suceptibility (resistant species ×
  mutations for pomological traits             susceptible lemons)

Clonal selections, and their interaction with the environment

 Blood orange germplasm consist of
 several clones differing for ripening
 period, and internal and external
 coloration, however:
 Pigmentation is cold dependent
 Exposure, blooming period, position of
  the fruits in the canopy, cultural
  practices and rootstock represent
  additional variability elements

The exhaustive phenotypic characterization is
hampered by such influence of external factors

The lemon germplasm, and the impact of mal secco disease

 Mal secco was first reported in
  1918 in Santa Teresa Riva
  (Messina, Sicily)
 Vascular disease caused by the
  fungus Plenodomus tracheiphilus
 Specific symptoms: pink-salmon
  to reddish discoloration of the
  wood, desiccation.
 Direct damages: heavy yield losses
  and death of susceptible cultivars
 Quarantine pathogen (EPPO list
  A2)
Phenotyping for mal secco symptoms

 25 lemon clonal selections planted in 2002, three replicates

 The field trial also included lemon and citron hybrids,
  autotetraploid lemons and other citrus species as reference.

 A few very susceptible clones died within 3 to 5 years after
  planting, and some others declined slowly without a
  significant ability to recover from the disease.

 Phenotyping for mal secco symptoms started in 2018 on the
  remaining clones showing variable degrees of tolerance.
  Three times per year

 A molecular screening was also performed to detect possible
  sources of P. tracheiphilus in leaves and branches
