Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Limited genetic and genomic resources in citronella necessitate the use of novel breeding methods to develop advanced breeding material that taps into genetic variability. OBJECTIVE: Identify superior and highly variable half sibs besides identifying their pollen donors, to be used in citronella breeding programs. METHODS: In this study, we used four commercial citronella cultivars (CIM-Bio-13,...
