Narrative
This accession was entered for historical reasons. It was numbered with an RRUT since it is not currently maintained in the NPGS. This accession traces back to PI 109620. Information for PI 109620 states "For previous introduction see 109957." Information for PI 109957 indicates that the origin was Palestine (Israel), so it is interpreted that this accession (as PI 109620) originated in Israel. See comments in the original PI books linked to in the above-linked GRIN records. The information in this record (for RRUT 496) reflects its "post-PI" history. Citron 60-13 is of interest as it was formerly one of the most sensitive indicators for citrus viroids. It was inactivated due to the availability of superior indicators later. More information on the various citrons used as viroid indicators may be found in the record for the current standard indicator, S-1. (RR Krueger, 12/15/2011)
