Abstract

The University of California's citrus variety collection was initiated with the establishment of the Citrus Experiment Station (CES) in 1910, at what is now UC's Riverside Campus (UCR). The collection, numbering more than 1200 accessions from throughout the world, has been used extensively to solve citrus disease problems, improve varieties, and congregate and preserve valuable germplasm resources.
