Tangor
The tangor (''C. reticulata'' × ''C. sinensis'') is a citrus fruit hybrid of the mandarin orange (''Citrus reticulata'') and the sweet orange (''Citrus sinensis''). The name "tangor" is a formation from the "tang" of tangerine and the "or" of "orange." Also called the temple orange, its thick rind is easy to peel and its bright orange pulp is sour-sweet and full-flavoured. Varieties Tangors are purposely bred or accidental hybrids of the sweet orange (''Citrus sinensis'') and the mandarin (''Citrus reticulata''), producing several varieties. * ' Clementine' ( Willowleaf × unknown sweet orange) (a commercially important cultivar) * 'King' ("King of Siam"; formerly ''Citrus nobilis'') * 'Kuchinotsu No. 37' (Kiyomi x Encore) * ' Murcott' ("honey Murcott"; "Murcott honey orange"; "red"; "big red") * 'Ortanique' (originally found in Jamaica, the name comes from the words "orange", "tangerine", and "unique").

Citrus Hybrids
Citrus taxonomy refers to the botanical classification of the species, varieties, cultivars, and graft hybrids within the genus ''Citrus'' and related genera, found in cultivation and in the wild. Citrus taxonomy is complex and controversial. Cultivated citrus are derived from various citrus species found in the wild. Some are only selections of the original wild types, many others are hybrids between two or more original species, and some are backcrossed hybrids between a hybrid and one of the hybrid's parent species. Citrus plants hybridize easily between species with completely different morphologies, and similar-looking citrus fruits may have quite different ancestries. Some differ only in disease resistance. Conversely, different-looking varieties may be nearly genetically identical, and differ only by a bud mutation. Detailed genomic analysis of wild and domesticated citrus cultivars has suggested that the progenitor of modern citrus species expanded out of the Himalaya ...

Citrus × Deliciosa
''Citrus'' × ''deliciosa'' (thorny (Australia), amarillo, beladi, ''Willowleaf Mandarin'', ''Mediterranean Mandarin'') is a citrus hybrid mandarin orange with just under 6 % pomelo ancestry. and Supplement It is related to the ponkan. It has been widely grown around the Mediterranean since it appeared in Italy (between 1810 and 1818), but was not found in the orient until it was exported there. It is one of the most commercially important citrus. Its sweet fruit is eaten, its rind oil is used to flavour food and drinks, and petitgrain oil is extracted from the pruned leaves. Its flowers (particularly petals) are also rich in essential oils. This species produce those which are perhaps the tastiest of all citrus fruits. That's why its scientific name is ''Citrus'' × ''deliciosa'', which means delicious citrus. The production of Mediterranean mandarin has suffered a sharp decline since the middle of the 20th century because of the perishability of the fruits and the tendency ...

Murcott (fruit)
The Murcott (marketed as Honey Tangerine) is a tangor, or mandarin– sweet orange hybrid. The Murcott arose out of citrus pioneer Walter Tennyson Swingle's attempts to produce novel citrus hybrids. Its seed parent has been identified as the King tangelo; the pollen parent remains to be identified. About 1913, he gave a hybrid tree he had produced at a US Department of Agriculture planting to R. D. Hoyt at Safety Harbor, Florida. Hoyt in turn gave budwood to his nephew, Charles Murcott Smith, for whom the variety would be named. Smith was growing the resulting trees in 1922 at his nursery in Bayview, Pinellas County, Florida, now a neighborhood in Clearwater. The trees grow upright, but often have branches bent or broken by heavy fruiting at the ends. It is widely grown in Florida Florida is a state located in the Southeastern region of the United States. Florida is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the northwest by Alabama, to the north by Georgia, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reikou
is a cultivar of tangor. It is a citrus hybrid of a hybrid of Kiyomi and Encore ( Kiyomi–Encore No. 5) and Murcott tangor. Description The fruit can be easily peeled by hand. It has a sugar content of between 12% and 13%, with some fruits reaching 15%. The fruit weighs around , relatively large for a tangor, and is a reddish-orange colour. It fruits in late January. It does not produce pollen, so it must be pollinated by another species of citrus. Its systematic name is after Kuchinotsu, Nagasaki was a town located in Minamitakaki District, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 6,450 and a density of 646.29 persons per km². The total area was 9.98 km². On March 31, 2006, Kuchinotsu, alon ... where it was bred. It was hybridized in 1984, with its name registered in 2004 and the variety registered in 2005. The first fruits came on sale in 2007.

Sweet Orange
An orange is a fruit of various citrus species in the family Rutaceae (see list of plants known as orange); it primarily refers to ''Citrus'' × ''sinensis'', which is also called sweet orange, to distinguish it from the related ''Citrus × aurantium'', referred to as bitter orange. The sweet orange reproduces asexually (apomixis through nucellar embryony); varieties of sweet orange arise through mutations. The orange is a hybrid between pomelo (''Citrus maxima'') and mandarin (''Citrus reticulata''). The chloroplast genome, and therefore the maternal line, is that of pomelo. The sweet orange has had its full genome sequenced. The orange originated in a region encompassing Southern China, Northeast India, and Myanmar, and the earliest mention of the sweet orange was in Chinese literature in 314 BC. , orange trees were found to be the most cultivated fruit tree in the world. Orange trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical climates for their sweet fruit. The fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kiyomi
(''Citrus unshiu'' × '' sinensis'') is a Japanese citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a ''Miyagawa Wase'' mikan and an orange. The new breed was the first tangor created in Japan in 1949. It was named Kiyomi after the temple and the lagoon near its experiment station in Shizuoka city and registered as "Tangor Nōrin No.1" in 1979. Kiyomi are sweet. Sugar content is normally 11–12° Bx and reaches even 13 °Bx if conditions are met. Citric acid content is around 1%. It has no seeds. The time of ripening is mid to late March. The flavor is similar to that of a ''mikan'', while the aroma is similar to that of an orange. Kiyomi is a monogerm, so it is often used as a parent citrus to create new hybrids such as dekopon is a seedless and sweet variety of satsuma orange. It is a hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan (Nakano no.3), developed in Japan in 1972. Originally a brand name, "Dekopon" has become a genericized trademark and it is used to refer to all bran ... ...

Citrus
''Citrus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes. The genus ''Citrus'' is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia. Various citrus species have been used and domesticated by indigenous cultures in these areas since ancient times. From there its cultivation spread into Micronesia and Polynesia by the Austronesian expansion (c. 3000–1500 BCE); and to the Middle East and the Mediterranean (c. 1200 BCE) via the incense trade route, and onwards to Europe and the Americas. History Citrus plants are native to subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Island Southeast Asia, Near Oceania, and northeastern Australia. Domestication of citrus species involved much hybridization and introgression, leaving much uncertainty about when and where domestication first happened. A genomic, phylog ...

Mandarin Orange
The mandarin orange (''Citrus reticulata''), also known as the mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree fruit. Treated as a distinct species of orange, it is usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. Tangerines are a group of orange-coloured citrus fruit consisting of hybrids of mandarin orange with some pomelo contribution. Mandarins are smaller and oblate, unlike the spherical common oranges (which are a mandarin– pomelo hybrid). The taste is considered sweeter and stronger than the common orange. A ripe mandarin is firm to slightly soft, heavy for its size, and pebbly-skinned. The peel is thin, loose, with little white mesocarp, so they are usually easier to peel and to split into segments. Hybrids usually have these traits to a lesser degree. The mandarin is tender and is damaged easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas. According to genetic studies, the mandarin was one of the original citrus species; through breeding or natural hy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clementine
A clementine (''Citrus × clementina'') is a tangor, a citrus fruit hybrid between a willowleaf mandarin orange ( ''C.'' × ''deliciosa'') and a sweet orange (''C. × sinensis''), named in honor of Clément Rodier, a French missionary who first discovered and propagated the cultivar in Algeria. The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines can be separated into 7 to 14 segments. Similar to tangerines, they tend to be easy to peel. They are typically juicy and sweet, with less acid than oranges. Their oils, like other citrus fruits, contain mostly limonene as well as myrcene, linalool, α-pinene and many complex aromatics. History The clementine is a spontaneous citrus hybrid that arose in the late 19th century in Misserghin, Algeria, in the garden of the orphanage of the French Missionary Brother Clément Rodier, for whom it would be formally named in 1902. Some sources have attributed an earlier origin for the hybrid, pointing to si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cam Sành
The ' () or King orange (''Citrus reticulata'' × ''sinensis'') is a citrus hybrid originating in Vietnam. ' is Vietnamese for "terracotta orange", although the fruit is more akin to a mandarin or tangerine. The fruit may be easily recognized by its thick skin, which is typically bright green, although the skin may also be partly green and partly orange, or entirely orange. Its flesh is orange, dark and sweet. This is the most popular orange variety in Vietnam and Cambodia. Classification This tree is referred to as the "King Tangor" or "King Mandarin" in most horticultural literature. Scion for grafting is available through the University of California Citrus Clonal Protection Program. One notable difference is that in temperate climates the fruit will turn a bright orange in response to colder temperatures when the fruits ripen. It is one among many citrus fruits from the region. These include the closely related yellow ''cam canh'' and reddish to yellow ''cam bo ha'' mand ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
