Abstract Citrus originated in Southeast Asia, and it has become one of the most important
fruit crops worldwide. Citrus has a long and obscure domestication history due to its clonal …

Citrus fruits are mainly consumed as fresh fruit and processed juice products. They serve as
nutritional and a tasty diet in our daily life. However, the formidable bitterness and delayed …

Citrus is one of the most important fruit crop genera in the world, but many Citrus species are
vulnerable to cold stress. Ichang papeda (Citrus ichangensis), a cold-hardy citrus species …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is an important mechanism that prevents self-fertilization and
inbreeding in flowering plants. The most widespread SI system utilizes S ribonucleases (S …

Ethylene‐responsive factors (ERFs) are plant‐specific transcription factors involved in cold
stress response, and raffinose is known to accumulate in plants exposed to cold. However, it …

Apomixis, or asexual seed formation, is prevalent in Citrinae via a mechanism termed
nucellar or adventitious embryony. Here, multiple embryos of a maternal genotype form …

Ethylene‐responsive factors (ERF s) have been revealed to play essential roles in a variety
of physiological and biological processes in higher plants. However, functions and …

Polyploid plants often exhibit enhanced stress tolerance relative to their diploid counterparts,
but the physiological and molecular mechanisms of this enhanced stress tolerance remain …

Citrus reproductive biology is complex. One of its characteristic features is parthenocarpy
that enables seedless fruit production. Citrus parthenocarpy and self-incompatibility …

Several citrus varieties show gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI), which can contribute to
seedless fruit production in several cultivars. This study investigated the genes regulating …
