Abstract:
The presence or absence of thorns was examined as a genetic marker to differentiate between zygotic and nucellar seedlings following hybridization of some citrus species or varieties. Shamouti orange and Eureka lemon are thornless, and when used as female parents, their seedlings with thorns are likely zygotes. Thornless seedlings from thorned varieties are also likely zygotes. © 1972 H. Veenman en Zonen N.V.
