Citrus evolution, polyploidy and breeding (SEAPAG)
The team’s main results
Last update: 27 July 2018
The main results of the SEAPAG team are illustrated according to the 6 lines of research of its scientific project. Knowledge acquired under the first four lines of research are integrated into the final two to optimize our varietal innovation work.
Preserving, characterizing and making optimum use of genetic resources
- Conservation of genetic resources / cryopreservation of seeds and definition of a core collection
- Functional diversity of Citrus genetic resources
Analysing the structures of genomes and species complexes
Understanding the dynamics of complex genomes
Understanding trait architecture, genome functioning and phenotype elaboration
- Polyploidy and adaptation
- Phenome and transcriptome of complex genomes
- Determinants of citrus fruit quality
Integrating research results to optimize varietal creation
- Reconstructing the ideotypes of modern varieties from phylogenomic knowledge
- Somatic hybridization for a different utilization of genetic resources
- Marker-assisted selection
Creating and selecting novel planting material
- Citrus varietal innovation
- Improvement of Citrus rootstocks for adaptation to climate change and to sustainable production systems
