Citrus er det fælles navn for en slægt, der er udbredt i det tropiske og subtropiske Asien med ca. 140 arter og naturlige hybrider[1]. Ordet citrus kommer af græsk kedros via latin cedrus. Disse ord blev brugt af oldtidens grækere og romere om flere forskellige træer med duftende løv eller ved (citrus har samme oprindelse som plantenavnet for Ceder, der også var kendt for sit velduftende ved).en

Slægtens taxonomi og systematiske forhold er komplekse, og man kender ikke det præcise antal naturligt forekommende arter. Det skyldes, at mange af de navngivne arter formeres vegetativt som kloner, og desuden er der beviser for, at ægte vilde arter i virkeligheden er spontane hybrider[2]. Dyrkede former af Citrus kan muligvis føres tilbage til så få som fire oprindelige arter.[3][4] De spontane og fremavlede hybrider omfatter økonomisk betydningsfulde frugter som appelsin, grapefrugt, citron visse former for lime og nogle af tangerinerne.en

Forskning tyder på, at nærtstående slægter som Fortunella (kumquat), Poncirus (dværgcitron) og muligvis de australske slægter Microcitrus og Eremocitrus,en bør høre hjemme i Citrus, hvortil de fleste botanikere henfører dem til i dag.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Citrus-arter og afledte hybridarter

Citrus-arter, som vi kender dem, er resultatet af seksuel hybridisering mellem fire oprindelige arter, hvilket har ledt til et stort antal hybridarteren. Nedenstående oversigt er fortrinsvis baseret på den taksonomiske oversigt i Kalita et al. (2021).[4]Her nævnes kun de arter, som har økonomisk betydning.

Citrus fruits

More than 70 percent of all citrus fruits grown in the United States are varieties developed by the ARS citrus breeding program.
In Florida, the ARS has developed citrus varieties that are higher yielding with increased disease resistance, better color, and longer shelf life. A major success story is Ambersweet, a cold-hardy citrus that's been approved for use in orange juice products. Because it withstands Florida's occasional cold snaps that can ruin most citrus, Ambersweet is being widely planted in the Sunshine State. It took 20 years of patient breeding to develop it, but the payoff is huge.
If there's usually a grapefruit in your shopping cart, you may already have met up with a favorite ARS-created variety. It's a red-fleshed, thin-skinned, seedless grapefruit that was developed and released in 1987. Since then, over 4 million Flame nursery trees have been propagated in Florida. No other grapefruit variety has ever been so widely accepted and planted.
Orange sections can now be prepared by a patented ARS process that uses commercially available food-grade enzymes. The process also removes the bitter white portion of grapefruit peel, eliminating hand-peeling and allowing more precise portion control. And the prepeeled fruit is ideal for school lunch programs and restaurants.

Keeping oranges fresh is another citrus-oriented task we've taken on. Oranges that have been covered with our specially designed coating will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks at room temperature. In that time, fruit treated with the usual grocer's coatings will look shrunken and discolored.
