New advances in research of citrus cultivars selected by bud mutation in the last decade
Citrus is the world's largest fruit,and with the diversification of people's needs,cultivating new high-quality citrus varieties has become a major challenge for breeders.As a conventional breeding method,bud mutation can be used to improve varieties with excellent traits.This paper introduces the new varieties of citrus bud mutation selected by Chinese breeders,and combines the development overview of bud mutation selection in citrus in the last decade,aiming to discuss the mechanism of fruit tree bud mutation formation and the advantages and disadvantages of its identification methods.Finally,by combining the promotion effect of bud mutation selection on China's citrus industry,it proposes prospects for future research on citrus bud mutation.
