Orange Patents (Class PLT/202)
  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220053677
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ‘Jedae mandarin’, a new citrus variety of early-ripening satsuma mandarin. The branch buds of C. unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase, an early-maturing satsuma mandarin, underwent gamma irradiation and subsequent grafting for asexual propagation. As a result, the ‘Jedae mandarin’, a novel variety of citrus plant, showed uneven peels of fruits and changes in flavonoid content, compared to C. unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase, although it exhibited characteristics very similar to those of C. unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase in terms of blooming, fruit-bearing, sugar content, acidity, etc. Thus, ‘Jedae mandarin’ may be used as a new variety with high economic value.

    Abstract: A new and distinct citrus tree variety ‘Lange Rosy Red Valencia’ is characterized by a strong reddish blush of the rind of its fruit. The blush is present through the harvest and post-harvest and is concomitant with the color of the flesh. The flesh of the fruit has a persistent pinkish red color and produces a distinctive pinkish-red colored juice. The internal and external color persists and increases as the fruit matures. The new variety ‘Lange Rosy Red Valencia’ also presents dimorphism of the leaf pattern, structure and presence of leaf variegation that distinguish it from other ‘Valencia’ orange varieties. The new variety ‘Lange Rosy Red Valencia’ is similar to the sweet orange variety ‘Cara Cara’ in that both have internal pinkish red flesh. The harvest season for the ‘Cara Cara’ begins roughly in December and ends generally by the end of April, while the optimal harvest season for ‘Lange Rosy Red Valencia’ begins in May and finishes at the end of August.

Regenerated plantlets (somaclones) were grafted to UFR rootstocks and grown in the field for evaluation.
