Genetic improvement of Kinnow mandarin for fruit quality biotic and abiotic stress tolerance
|
To produce seedless/ low seeded hybrids in Kinnow mandarin with easy to peel trait through interploidy crossing and interspecific hybridization approaches.

To authenticate and multiply already available low seeded Kinnow mutant.
|
Based on survival and sprouting data, the colchicine @ 0.5% for 12 hrs duration was optimum for the treatment of axillary buds, but, no tetraploid was produced with this dose and duration.
106 true hybrids were identified between Kinnow and Mukaku Kishu, 4 SSR markers (TTA 15 CMS04 Ci06A056 and CiBB1500).
Among the budding/ grafting methods, the patch budded scion propagules came into fruiting 2 years after budding.
X639 and Volkamer lemon x Cleopatra mandarin and developed rootstocks resistant to Phytophthora and soil salinity.
In the Jatti Khatti x Sour orange cross, 15 true hybrids have been identified.
The Phytophthora has been isolated and is being multiplied for screening of hybrid rootstocks in sick plots.
