Program emphasis

Citrus cross hybrid breeding and fruit development regulation mechanism. 1) Cross breeding and selection of bud sports to generate new cultivars by cross breeding, identify bud mutant germplasm and selection of excellent bud mutant; 2) Omics-based approaches to reveal genetics of citrus bud mutant of ripening, and to exploit ripening related pathways and genes.
