Title: Autetraploid ´Meiwa` Kumquat
Author: H.C. Barrett
Abstract:
The origin of the autotetraploid form of
'Meiwa' kumquat, Fortunella crassifolia Swing,
is recorded.
Some of the more prominent morphological changes in the phenotype that occurred as a result of autotetraploidy are described.
Autotetraploid 'Meiwa' was developed
for use as a tetraploid parent in crosses with
diploid cultivars of Citrus to produce seedling
triploid selections with superior traits.
The morphological changes in the phenotype that occurred when the diploid Fortunella 'Meiwa' was
converted to the tetraploid condition were analogous to the corresponding changes that occurred when diploid Citrus cultivars were converted to the tetraploid condition.
