Abstract:

The acidic peroxidase isozymes in petals of 106 Citrus and Fortunella species and
cultivars were studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results (Fig. 1; Tables 1
and 2) suggest that these isozymes be of the monomeric nature coded by a single locus. Five
alleles were identified and designated as A, B, C, D and F respectively. No genetic difference
in peroxidase isozymes was detected among the mandarins orignated from China, Japan and
Indian. Man Ju may be a hybrid between Ponkan and Ougan. Ponkan may have not been in-
volved in the origin of Jiao Gan. Zheng Jiang Jin Ju should be an infraspecific hybrid of C.
reticulata. C. sinensis has a close relationship with some Chinese mandarins. Changshou
Kumquat and Calamondin are shown to be intergeneric hybrids between Citrus and
Fortunella.
