Narrative
"May be a hybrid between lemon x citron?"`"I doubt it may be a hybrid between citron and lemon." 08-2000: "I am eager to know its genetic background because we plan to grow it in a large scale for its juice and oil. But before determining its species status, we can do nothing." (donor's notes) This is a selection of RSD 1998039. Of 55 seeds of RSD 1998039, 21 germinated. ISSR markers revealed that the seedlings were all unique and therefore zygotic (work performed by Prof Mikeal Roose, 2001). So perhaps more likely a citron? Photographs also appear more citron-like than lemon-like. On 01/08/2009, two seedlings were selected and propagated for maintenance under protection: RRUT 425, RRUT 426, and RRUT 430. The remainder of the seedlings will be maintained for the time being. RRUT 425 was selected from a tree with large leaves. (RR Krueger, 02/27/2010)
