Cover Story: Pummelo (Citrus maxima) is a citrus ancestral species, that by being crossed with wild mandarins (C. reticulata) has given rise to several major citrus crops, such as sweet orange (C. sinensis) and grapefruit (C. paradisi). Pummelo can be distinguished from other citrus species by two reproductive traits: allogamous reproduction and the absence of asexual multiplication. Fifty-eight pummelo or grapefruit accessions were maintained in the French citrus germplasm in Corsica. A prerequisite genetic study of SSR marker diversity made it possible to determine the taxonomic position of these accessions and thus guarantee the true chemical diversity of the composition of pummelo essential oils from leaves and zest. View this paper
