The seeds of the pomelo are monoembryonic, producing seedlings with genes from both parents, but they are usually similar to the tree they grow from and therefore in Asia, pomelos are typically grown from seed. [4] Seeds can be stored for 80 days at a temperature of 5 °C (41 °F) with moderate relative humidity. [4]
In 1958, CRC 2240 (pomelo) Robert K. Soost and James W. Cameron crossed with a seedy, white, tetraploid grapefruit. Two of the triploid offspring had particularly favorable characteristics. One was released in 1980 as 'Oroblanco'. The second was released as Melogold. Oroblanco was more similar to grapefruit, while Melogold was more similar to ...
The oroblanco is a triploid citrus hybrid, resulting from a cross between an acidless pomelo (C. grandis Osbeck) [1] and the Marsh grapefruit [2] (C. paradisi Macf.). [1] Its fruit is seedless with pale yellow flesh [3] [4] and is slightly less juicy than other grapefruits, [2] [5] though it does have a juice content of roughly thirty percent. [6]

Research Center of the University of California, Riverside, United States in 1966 A mandelo (or Mandalo , also known as a "cocktail grapefruit") [ 1 ] [ 2 ] is a citrus fruit that is smaller than a grapefruit , has yellow or yellow-green coloured skin and bright yellow or yellow-orange flesh, but is sweeter than a grapefruit.
In the system of citrus taxonomy established by Swingle, kumquats were placed in a different genus, Fortunella, from Citrus, which included citron, mandarin orange, pomelo and papedas. The result of genetic crosses between kumquats and these other citrus would then be intergeneric hybrids , so a novel genus name was coined for them in 1975, [ 1 ...
The fruit contain numerous monoembryonic seeds, although the important variant, 'Morrison Seedless' (or Morrison's Seedless), produces seedless fruit when not cross-pollinated. [ 1 ] It does not require temperatures as high as other similar citrus, growing in New Zealand and cooler regions of southern California where other commercial ...
Pollination of fruit trees is required to produce seeds with surrounding fruit. It is the process of moving pollen from the anther to the stigma , either in the same flower or in another flower. Some tree species, including many fruit trees, do not produce fruit from self-pollination , so pollinizer trees are planted in orchards.
