A new variety of Citrus ichangensis x C. maxima plant named Tift2-16 produces fruit with a reduced number of seeds, making it valuable as a backyard fruit tree. Also, it is a desirable tree for landscaping.

A new variety of Citrus reticulata plant named Tift3-46 produces fruit with a reduced number of seeds, making it valuable as a backyard fruit tree. Also, it is a desirable tree for landscaping.

A composite orange tree having a fruiting cultivar scion grafted to a citrus-greening resistant, or a salinity-resistant rootstock, or a rootstock having both citrus-greening and salinity resistance, is described herein, as are methods of growing such a composite orange tree.

The new grapefruit TR-1 is provided. The variety is produced from a mutation of Rio Red grapefruit, which can be distinguished by its outstanding features. TR-1 is a red grapefruit variety originated as a budsport mutation from Rio Red grapefruit and differentiating from the Rio Red grapefruit by a Red external color contrasting to the yellow with red blush from Rio Red grapefruit. The internal color is red with milder flavor reduced bitter taste.

A system in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises at least two electrodes communicatively coupled to a bio-organism. The system further comprises a data acquisition device coupled to the electrodes for receiving analog signals indicative of voltage potential differences in the bio-organism. In addition, the system comprises logic configured to compare a fast Fourier transform (FFT) signature of the signals received with an FFT signature of a bio-organism known to be healthy to determine whether the bio-organism has a particular disease.

RubyGS is a new and distinct mandarin tree notable primarily for its reduced number of seeds per fruit as compared to its parent Daisy mandarin. Fruits of RubyGS mandarin are essentially seedless, with less than one seed per fruit on average.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of citrus tree named RBB7-34. This triploid cultivar arose from a cross of the seed parent LB8-9 with pollen from a tetraploid selection of Hamlin sweet orange that arose from colchicine treated embryogenic callus. RBB7-34 produces fruit that resemble Navel orange in size, shape and with the presence of a navel on the blossom end of the fruit, but with greatly enhanced internal and external pigmentation compared with ordinary Navel orange cultivars grown in the humid, sub-tropical Florida climate. Fruit of RBB7-34 are seedless even under intensive cross pollination pressure.
