  • SWEET ORANGE TREE NAMED 'OLL-20'
    Publication number: 20220322596
    Abstract: A new and distinct sweet orange clone ‘OLL-20’ has been developed from an unstable sweet orange selection designated as ‘OLL’, using tissue culture techniques. Undeveloped ovules from fruit of selection ‘OLL’ were cultured in vitro to generate an embryogenic callus, from which multiple independent clones were regenerated via somatic embryogenesis. Regenerated plantlets (somaclones) were grafted to UFR rootstocks and grown in the field for evaluation.

  • Sweet orange tree named 'FLORIDA EV2'
    Publication number: 20170202122
    Abstract: The new and distinct sweet orange clone described herein originated as a ‘Valencia’ somaclone tree regenerated from protoplasts isolated from an embryogenic suspension culture of standard ‘Valencia’ (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). ‘Florida EV2’ is a true ‘Valencia’ sweet orange with an altered maturity date that allows for harvest 8-12 weeks earlier than traditional ‘Valencia’ clones.

  • Sweet orange tree named ‘B9-65’
    Patent number: PP27144
    Abstract: A new and distinct sweet orange clone, ‘B9-65’ was produced via adventitious shoot induction from a nucellar seedling internode stem segment. ‘B9-65’ is a vigorous tree that produces standard ‘Valencia’-type sweet orange fruit that is characterized by high fruit yield and high soluble solids content. The fruit size of ‘B9-65’ is larger than that for standard Valencia orange while having a similar fruit maturation date.

  • Sweet orange tree named ‘N13-32’
    Patent number: PP27145
    Abstract: ‘N13-32’ is a new and distinct early season clone of ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange. Fruit of ‘N13-32’ exhibit improved juice color and typical or better soluble solids than the industry standard for processing. Fruit juice of ‘N13-32’ produced a juice color score higher than 36, which is the minimum color score requirement to produce “Grade A” juice.

  • Citrus rootstock named ‘UFR-15’
    Patent number: PP27275
    Abstract: ‘UFR-15’ is a new and distinct diploid hybrid citrus rootstock for improved disease resistance. ‘UFR-15’ has shown a positive reaction to the Huanglongbing disease (HLB, or citrus greening disease) in multiple experimental field trials. Scion trees grafted on this rootstock show a reduced frequency of infection and reduced disease symptoms once infected as compared to commercial diploid rootstocks.
