Citrus
''Citrus'' is a genus of flowering plant, flowering trees and shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as Orange (fruit), oranges, Lemon, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and lime (fruit), limes. The genus ''Citrus'' is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia (continent), 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.

Japanese Citrus
A number of citrus fruits are grown in or strongly associated with Japan. Many of these fruits are of Chinese origin, but have been modified or specially bred for cultivation in Japan. Japanese taxonomy Japan usually follows the botanical names of the taxonomy from Tyôzaburô Tanaka, often referred to as the "Tanaka system", giving for each cultivar a separate name no matter if it is pure or a hybrid of two or more species or varieties. While elsewhere it is more popular to classify the genus citrus into species, and further into varieties, and then into cultivars or hybrid. Such a system was created by Walter Tennyson Swingle from Florida and is called the "Swingle system". The different approaches of the two systems lead to partially-overlapping or nested 'species', for example, ''Citrus unshiu'' and ''Citrus tangerina'' (Tanaka) versus ''Citrus reticulata'' (Swingle). Likewise, common terms, like "mikan", do not always align with these taxonomic groups. Japanese citrus (pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kishumikan
The kishu mikan (''Citrus kinokuni'' ex Tanaka) is a hybrid variety of mikan, or mandarin orange (''Citrus reticulata''), found in Southern China and also grown in Japan. It is not closely related to the common sweet orange, but it is closely related to the mandarin orange. The fruit is also known as ''Baby Mandarin'', ''Tiny Tangerine'', ''Mini Mandarin'' and ''Kishu Mandarin''. It is sold under the brand name "Cherry orange" in Europe. It is shaped like a mandarin, between in diameter. The fruit's orange skin is thin and smooth. Some varieties of kishu, such as the mukakukishu, are seedless. The species is used in creating seedless hybrid citrus. The largest variety is the hirakishu. History The fruit is thought to have arisen in Southern China, it is thought to have been grow since the 700s. Its name was recorded in the records of Jianchang during the Ming Dynasty, and its agricultural growth is widespread in Jiangxi province. The variety was introduced to Japan a ...

Koji Orange
Koji orange (''Citrus leiocarpa''), also called smooth-fruited orange in English, bingyul in Korean, 光橘 (Guang ju), 柑 子 (Gan zi), and 日本土柑 (Ri ben tu gan) in Chinese, and コウジ (Kōji) in Japanese, is a ''Citrus'' species native to Japan. Distribution Besides Japan, it is grown in the United States, and other parts of East Asia including South Korea and China. Description The fruit is oblate in shape, slightly ribbed, bright orange in color, very small, and very seedy, and for the latter two reasons it is not grown for commercial use. It ripens from October through November and has been cultivated since at least 1900. It may be monoembryonic. The tree is densely branched and has a broad crown and a short, straight trunk. The leaves are dark green and elliptical in shape. Genetics ''Citrus leiocarpa'' is inferred to be a hybrid between a koji-type species (seed parent) and the tachibana orange (pollen parent, ''Citrus tachibana''). Its genotype matches with th ...

Tachibana Orange
The tachibana orange (''Citrus tachibana,'' or ''Citrus reticulata tachibana'') is a variety of mandarin orange, a citrus fruit. They grow wild in the forests of Japan and are referred to in the poetry of the early Japanese and Ryukyu Islands kingdoms. and Supplement The Tanaka System assigns them their own species, while the Swingle System places them in the same species with other mandarin oranges. Genomic analysis has shown tachibana oranges to be a constellation of distinct natural F1 hybrids that cross the pure Ryukyu Island mandarin '' C. ryukyuensis'' with mainland Asian '' C. reticulata'' that was itself a hybrid of northern and southern subspecies, but also contained some prior Ryukyu mandarin introgression. They lack the pomelo introgression found in the closely-related domesticated mandarin oranges of mainland Asia, though they have a mainland-mandarin-derived transposable element insertion that causes them to reproduce asexually by apomixis, unlike their sexually- ...

Citrus Depressa
''Citrus depressa'' (''Citrus'' × ''depressa'', formerly ''C. pectinifera'', ryu, シークヮーサー/シークァーサー, shiikwaasa, ja, ヒラミレモン, hirami remon or , , in English sometimes called shiikuwasha, shequasar, Taiwan tangerine, Okinawa lime, flat lemon, hirami lemon, or thin-skinned flat lemon, is a small, green citrus fruit rich in flavonoids and native to East Asia (Taiwan Island and Okinawa Islands, Japan). Very sour, it is often used like lemon or lime to garnish dishes, but is also used to make jam, or a yellow juice, which can be thinned or sweetened. Its name is occasionally translated into English as calamansî (calamondin), but strictly speaking, this is a different fruit. Shiikuwasha is primarily produced in southwest Japan, in the northern region of the main Okinawa island, along with another indigenous Japanese citrus, ''Tachibana (Citrus tachibana)''. The two are not the only species of citrus currently growing on the island, as there ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...
