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.

Abstract: A new and distinct sweet orange clone, ‘OLL-4’ was produced via embryonic callus (tissue culture) from an original tree selection (‘OLL’) from an abandoned USDA field trial. ‘OLL-4’ produces easy-to-peel, round oranges with excellent internal and external color. Trees of ‘OLL-4’ exhibit improved cold and drought tolerance over industry standard oranges, and do not seem to exhibit alternate bearing.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Citrus reticulata called ‘Belalate’ is distinguished by the production of fruit that combines late season maturity, medium fruit size, an orange-colored rind with a very smooth texture, and a sweet flavor. It further distinguishes itself by being seedless and easy to peel.

Abstract: A new and distinct sweet orange clone ‘OLL-8’ 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 Swingle citrumelo rootstock and grown in the field for evaluation. Sweet orange clone ‘OLL-8’ was the most precocious bearing clone among the somaclone population, and thus the first to be selected for release, based on its stable propagation and outstanding qualities. ‘OLL-8’ produces high yields of high quality fruit, with exceptional flavor and juice color. It is expected to make a significant contribution to the sweet orange portfolio available to the not-from-concentrate juice producers in Florida and around the world. It also has potential as a fresh fruit cultivar, making it a dual-use fruit.

Abstract: An interploid cross (conventional breeding) of SugarBelle® ‘LB8-9-9’ mandarin hybrid with a somatic hybrid of [Nova mandarin hybrid+Succari sweet orange], followed by embryo rescue, led to the recovery of the seedless triploid hybrid known as ‘C4-15-19’. This is the first triploid citrus hybrid released by the University of Florida that was fathered by a somatic hybrid produced years before via protoplast fusion. Trees of ‘C4-15-19’ are productive, producing an attractive peelable tangerine fruit with robust sweet flavor, maturing in October/November under Florida conditions. Fruit size is small-to-medium, and quite uniform.

Abstract: ‘Merbeingold 2350’ is a new Australian variety of mandarin. It was selected from the progeny obtained following a controlled pollination of ‘Imperial’ mandarinבEllendale’ tangor in 1984. It was selected because it is strongly parthenocarpic and is capable of yielding seedless fruits, which are sweet, juicy and easy-to-peel. Fruit maturity is mid season in the Murray Valley of Australia. The rind of Merbeingold is thin, orange-to-orange red, strong yet easily peeled. Its fruits can be snap picked, eliminating a need to clip. Internally, the flesh of ‘Merbeingold 2350’ is attractive, orange in colour and juicy with a good sugar/acid balance.

Abstract: A new and distinct Citrus cultivar is provided which is capable of forming attractive large pleasantly tasting fruit having a light yellow-orange external coloration. The fruit when compared to that of the ‘Valencia Late’ Sweet Orange Cultivar (non-patented in the United States) is lighter in coloration, generally more flattened, commonly possesses a greater diameter, and peels more readily. Also, the leaves tend to be larger, generally more rounded, and less elongated than those of the ‘Valencia Late’ cultivar. The fruit matures for consumption at approximately the same time as that of the ‘Valencia Late’ cultivar. The new cultivar is well suited for the commercial product of a late-maturing fruit crop.
