<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

July 1, 2009 – June 30, <strong>2010</strong><br />

Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration<br />

Michael Kesinger, Chief<br />

The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration regulates citrus budwood distribution in <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />

commercial citrus nurseries. Testing propagating material and maintaining protected foundation<br />

budwood clean stock is fundamental to keeping graft-transmissible diseases out <strong>of</strong> nurseries and<br />

ultimately providing growers clean stock to plant. The citrus nursery industry has made significant<br />

investments in nursery infrastructure to safeguard nursery stock from threatening pathogens.<br />

Inspection and testing by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry complement industry efforts to manage disease<br />

threats. The combination <strong>of</strong> proper structures, management, clean stock and regular monitoring are<br />

effective in growing disease-free trees. Major advancements in the technology <strong>of</strong> laboratory<br />

equipment has allowed for greater sensitivity in testing for plant pathogens.<br />

The Chiefland <strong>Budwood</strong> Foundation facility has approximately 1.5 acres <strong>of</strong> secure greenhouse<br />

growing areas which are used to provide registered nurseries with clean stock material. Nurseries must<br />

obtain their original source stock from the Chiefland Foundation. Citrus nurseries can then establish<br />

their own scion or increase source material from the foundation stock. One key to the whole process is<br />

maintaining the proper identity <strong>of</strong> each propagation every step <strong>of</strong> the way. All nurseries must report all<br />

citrus propagation to the budwood <strong>of</strong>fice on Bud Cutting <strong>Report</strong>s that identify the source <strong>of</strong> all<br />

propagations and their locations within the nursery. These reports can be used to trace source material<br />

back to original parent sources. Fiscal year budwood cutting in <strong>Florida</strong> nurseries amounted to 3<br />

million bud eyes for 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. The Chiefland <strong>Budwood</strong> Foundation cut and distributed 241,650 bud<br />

eyes for industry use this year. Since the beginning <strong>of</strong> the budwood program, over 13 million bud eyes<br />

have been distributed from foundation trees - bringing in over $892,000 in revenue.<br />

The 241,650 bud eyes cut from Chiefland this year were an 82 % increase from the amount cut last<br />

year. This amounts to 8% <strong>of</strong> the total industry demand for budwood and represents the highest<br />

demand for foundation budwood in recent memory. <strong>Budwood</strong> sales from Chiefland brought in<br />

$55,396 <strong>of</strong> revenue to the division. One hundred thirty-five different clones were cut this year, and<br />

distributed to 36 different customers, including 29 nurseries. <strong>Budwood</strong> was cut on 78 days with 185<br />

separate bud cutting reports processed.<br />

The lowest temperature recorded outside the Chiefland greenhouse during the winter <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong> was 15<br />

degrees. Approximately 6,360 gallons <strong>of</strong> LP gas were burned this year to keep greenhouse<br />

temperatures above 50 degrees. The Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Technical Advisory Committee met once this<br />

year in the Chiefland conference room, and the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry held 2 staff meetings at<br />

Chiefland this fiscal year.<br />

Currently 1,091 spaces are planted at Chiefland. This is an increase <strong>of</strong> 120 trees from last year. Extra<br />

tree spaces were obtained by planting many <strong>of</strong> the new selections closer together in the rows, as close<br />

as a foot and a half apart. The planted trees represent 338 different clonal selections. Some older<br />

clones were removed from the planting and new clones added resulting in a net increase <strong>of</strong> 17 clones.<br />

The Chiefland foundation planting is 35.7% sweet orange (389 trees), representing 83 different sweet<br />

orange varieties. Mandarins make up 28.9% <strong>of</strong> the planting (315 trees), representing 82 varieties.<br />

Grapefruit is represented with 100 trees <strong>of</strong> 26 varieties, and consists <strong>of</strong> 9.2% <strong>of</strong> the planting.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 1


The Chiefland greenhouse structure and trees are inspected every day by on-site staff. Another<br />

monthly inspection is performed by plant industry nursery inspection staff. Close monitoring is<br />

important to prevent breeches in the structure that could jeopardize the clean stock. Visitors are not<br />

permitted access to the growing areas <strong>of</strong> the Chiefland facility; although a small viewing window is<br />

present to allow the curious a glance inside.<br />

Twenty-eight new varieties were planted at Chiefland this year. New varieties must be grown and<br />

fruited out before an <strong>of</strong>ficial industry release. Researchers frequently plant new varieties in trial<br />

plantings before <strong>of</strong>ficial release, so attributes and characteristics under <strong>Florida</strong> growing conditions can<br />

be more fully known. New varieties enter the budwood program from three different means. Varieties<br />

coming from outside <strong>Florida</strong> must enter through the Citrus Germplasm Introduction Program (CGIP)<br />

for quarantine and pathogen testing before being taken to Chiefland. Research agencies and instate<br />

breeding programs are continually developing new scions and rootstocks specifically for <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />

needs. New varieties, originating from <strong>Florida</strong> research agencies enter through the budwood program<br />

and are tested in the DPI Winter Haven laboratory and biological greenhouses, and are usually shoottip<br />

grafted to remove any pathogens. Citrus growers can also enter varieties into the parent tree<br />

program, and they have been responsible for entering many new selections from better yielding trees or<br />

unique finds in their groves. Thirty-four new selections entered the budwood program’s parent<br />

candidate program this fiscal year and 48 different shoot-tip grafted selections were released.<br />

Improvements in the shoot-tip grafting laboratory include the acquisition <strong>of</strong> a two new microscopes.<br />

The first scope has higher magnification and better optics than our previous equipment for performing<br />

the shoot-tip grafting. The second scope is a teaching microscope used to train shoot-tip grafting<br />

techniques to employees and visiting scientists from other programs, and for team projects.<br />

The number <strong>of</strong> commercial citrus nursery propagations were lower this year by 763,073 or 20%.<br />

<strong>Florida</strong> nurserymen made 3,001,186 propagations in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. The decline in nursery production is<br />

attributed to fewer sweet oranges being propagated, as every other citrus type saw increased<br />

production in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. While sweet orange propagations were down by 957,104, grapefruit and<br />

mandarin propagations increased in both number and percentage <strong>of</strong> the propagations. Grapefruit<br />

accounted for 7.4% <strong>of</strong> all propagations compared to 4.7% last year. Mandarins accounted for 8.3% <strong>of</strong><br />

propagations compared to 4.1% last year. Sweet oranges declined, from 89% <strong>of</strong> the propagations to<br />

79.7%, this year.<br />

The average nursery made 67 thousand propagations this fiscal year. Forty-one percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>Florida</strong>’s<br />

nursery trees are produced in Polk County, where the budwood <strong>of</strong>fice and the majority <strong>of</strong> the citrus<br />

nursery inspectors are headquartered. One hundred seventy-two different clones representing 148<br />

different varieties were propagated this fiscal year. Although the citrus industry utilizes only a handful<br />

<strong>of</strong> varieties in commercial plantings, the dooryard (homeowner) market employs a greater assortment<br />

<strong>of</strong> citrus types. It is estimated that ten to fifteen percent <strong>of</strong> the total reported nursery propagations are<br />

destined for dooryard trees. Valencia and Hamlin were the top two varieties propagated, making up 37<br />

and 33 percent <strong>of</strong> nursery propagations, respectively. Midsweet was the third most popular variety at<br />

3.3 percent <strong>of</strong> nursery propagations, followed by Ray Ruby grapefruit at 3.2%, Glen Navel at 3.0% and<br />

Ruby Red grapefruit at 2.3%. Murcott was the most popular mandarin type propagated, followed<br />

closely by Mineola. Swingle was the most popular rootstock used for budding. This is the 22nd year<br />

that Swingle has been the top-utilized rootstock. Nursery trees on Swingle account for 45 % <strong>of</strong> all<br />

propagations. Kuharske citrange and Carrizo citrange were the 2nd and 3rd most utilized rootstocks,<br />

accounting for 17% and 14% <strong>of</strong> propagations, respectively. Sour Orange and Cleopatra mandarin were<br />

the next most popular rootstocks at 7.5 and 3.5 % respectively, followed by X-639 at 3.1%, Kinkoji at<br />

2.7% and Volkamer lemon at 2.2%.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 2


The bureau conducted 44,299 pathogen tests in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>. Every program foundation and scion<br />

source tree is tested annually for citrus tristeza virus and citrus greening. Testing for other pathogens<br />

occurs on a routine basis, with a different pathogen focus each year. This year, citrus tatter leaf virus<br />

and citrus psorosis virus were tested for in program sources. A paper titled “Increased Efficiency and<br />

Sensitivity for Identifying Citrus Greening and Citrus Tristeza Virus using Real-time PCR testing” was<br />

published by bureau laboratory personnel in the Proceedings <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Florida</strong> State Horticultural Society<br />

in 2009.<br />

All nursery budwood sources are required to be grown in protected greenhouses that have to be<br />

approved by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry, while seed source trees can be field grown. Scion trees<br />

are responsible for providing 50% <strong>of</strong> the propagation material for citrus nurseries, with the average<br />

scion tree producing 784 bud eyes. Increase trees, which can originate from either foundation or scion<br />

trees, accounted for 42% <strong>of</strong> nursery propagation material. Qualifying increase trees, those originating<br />

from foundation trees, can be converted to scion trees by being witnessed and tested for pathogens.<br />

The bureau witnessed 1,276 scion trees this fiscal year: 1,171 budwood scion, and 1,105 seed source<br />

trees. The total number <strong>of</strong> scion tees in the program stands at 9,529, <strong>of</strong> which 5,722 are budwood<br />

scion and 3,807 seed source. Source tree registration revenue amounted to $38,985 for the fiscal year.<br />

The first find <strong>of</strong> citrus canker in the <strong>Florida</strong> Citrus Arboretum was in March <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong>. The find was on<br />

the outside row <strong>of</strong> grapefruit trees. To protect the remainder <strong>of</strong> the arboretum, three rows <strong>of</strong> grapefruit<br />

have been removed. The first find <strong>of</strong> citrus greening in the arboretum, which was one <strong>of</strong> the first finds<br />

in Polk County, was in August <strong>of</strong> 2007. Removal <strong>of</strong> trees with citrus greening in the arboretum has<br />

also been aggressive. The first year, 2 trees were identified with HLB and removed (FY 2008),<br />

followed by 2 trees in the second year (FY 2009). Eleven trees were found positive and removed from<br />

the arboretum in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2009 (FY <strong>2010</strong>), followed by an additional 4 trees in the spring <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

(FY <strong>2010</strong>). Twenty-three trees were reset in the arboretum in <strong>2010</strong>, and 16 were reset the previous<br />

year.<br />

The Dundee foundation facility, which has not been used for budwood cutting since 2005-2006, has<br />

been taken over by the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry’s Bureau <strong>of</strong> Methods Development and Biological<br />

Control. Dundee barns and greenhouses are being renovated for a biological control rearing facility<br />

for parasites <strong>of</strong> the Asian citrus psyllid. This use <strong>of</strong> the facility should help in the industry’s battle<br />

against citrus greening.<br />

This year’s report contains new data and more information than ever before. Eight pages are devoted<br />

to providing clonal background information, including a brief history and description <strong>of</strong> selections<br />

propagated within the past five years. Program files were used to provide a historic data recap <strong>of</strong><br />

budwood cutting from various foundation locations throughout the years. The foundation budwood<br />

cutting report can be found on page 7. Participant activity is highlighted on page 6, providing a<br />

historic look at new budwood program participants by year.<br />

“At the Division <strong>of</strong> Plant Industry we protect the food supply<br />

and help keep it safe, affordable and abundant.”<br />

In the early years, a smaller portion <strong>of</strong> the budwood cut was platted as the program was voluntary and not all nurseries returned plats. Only<br />

those propagations that were properly platted were designated as registered (certified until 1958/59) and reported in the totals. Numbers taken<br />

from Bud Cutting <strong>Report</strong>s would be much higher.<br />

1 Propagation numbers are taken from the amount cut starting in 1995-96, prior to this date the amount budded was used. Since 1995-96, the<br />

amount budded figure is used when numbers are divided by various rootstocks and amount cut is used when budded information is not available.<br />

<strong>Report</strong>ed propagations in prior years were artificially low, as not all nurseries submitted bud usage and only platted buddings were counted.<br />

A data project was begun in 2004 to archive old records from the Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration in a database. This project draws data<br />

from several different <strong>of</strong>fice record sources that frequently differ in the way they were calculated. New validated releases were tabulated in a<br />

separate book from registered propagations and have to be combined when entered into database tables. This project resulted in corrections made<br />

to some nursery propagation figures as these different records were reconciled. This project is now complete.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> (FY 2009-<strong>2010</strong>) Bureau <strong>of</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration 18


Lab <strong>Report</strong><br />

The main improvement this fiscal year for the annual qPCR testing was to quantitate the actual amount <strong>of</strong><br />

nucleic acids in each sample. All samples are adjusted so the optimal amount <strong>of</strong> nucleic acids are used in<br />

each assay. Using the optimal amount for each test, improved the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> our testing. Once again,<br />

testing for Citrus greening (HLB) showed that all <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Budwood</strong> source trees in the foundation and screen<br />

houses tested negative. Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) testing detected 5 trees with severe isolates <strong>of</strong> CTV. This<br />

is the second time these trees were tested by the more sensitive qPCR, and the first time with a known<br />

quantity <strong>of</strong> nucleic acids. We do not expect to detect any more trees with severe CTV.<br />

The extract from the one annual collection was this year used to test source trees for Citrus psorosis virus<br />

and Citrus tatter leaf virus (Apple stem grooving virus). Initially foundation trees were tested one time for<br />

these viruses by biological indexing. They were not retested. These two qPCR tests detected only Citrus<br />

tatter leaf virus in Buddha’s hand. It is being Shoot-tip grafted to remove this pathogen.<br />

We were able to fill our vacant Laboratory Technician IV position in January. This position is important for<br />

support in the annual collections, extraction <strong>of</strong> samples, and biological indexing. However the additional<br />

daily support in Shoot-tip grafting allows us to continue to increase the number <strong>of</strong> selections that we receive,<br />

clean up and complete. An important Agricultural Technician III position became vacant with the retirement<br />

<strong>of</strong> the incumbent after ten years <strong>of</strong> service. Hiring good people and intensive training in the complexities <strong>of</strong><br />

the different jobs continues to be a focus in the testing areas.<br />

Over fifty percent <strong>of</strong> the laboratory effort is now going into the cleanup <strong>of</strong> new and existing varieties. This<br />

supports our mission <strong>of</strong> having all possible <strong>Florida</strong> Germplasm selections as disease free as possible and kept<br />

safe in our screen house facility at Chiefland.<br />

Thirty-four new entries were made into the Parent Tree Indexing Program and 48 parents and/or STGs were<br />

released this year. As we continued to increase STG production in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>, we again had our greatest<br />

production <strong>of</strong> shoot-tip grafts. The number set up increased to 2165 shoot-tip grafts, <strong>of</strong> these, 138 were<br />

grafted into rootstocks in the greenhouse. At the end <strong>of</strong> the fiscal year 42 cultivars were in the process <strong>of</strong><br />

being shoot-tip grafted. Sixty-three cultivars have been successfully STGed and are undergoing various<br />

stages <strong>of</strong> testing.<br />

Dream was found as a budded tree in a Seminole county near Sanford in a grove by D. J Dream. The original tree<br />

was discovered in 1939 when it was approximately 25-30 years old. Most likely a bud mutation from Washington.<br />

Dream was patented by him in 1944. The origin <strong>of</strong> the Dream clone entered into the <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program is<br />

from budwood from Nicholson nursery’s mother tree in Orlando which was the source for Barfield groves located<br />

north <strong>of</strong> Lake Alfred. The <strong>Florida</strong> Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration Program entered two parent candidates from the<br />

Barfield property, which were virus and viroid infected. A shoot-tip graft selection from the Barfield parent is the<br />

one currently used in the <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program. The budwood program clone was entered into the program in<br />

1975 and is identified as (DPI-58). The fruit is high quality, medium size, smaller than some <strong>Florida</strong> navels, early<br />

maturing, average brix/acid ratios, and has an open non-protruding navel. Holds on tree better than most Navels.<br />

Like most navels its does not do well on rough Lemon rootstock.<br />

This clonal selection that was made at the Pless Nursery in Thonotosassa in Hillsborough County and entered into<br />

the budwood program in 1970. Joseph Robles obtained seed from Madrid Spain after 1851 and planted a grove in<br />

Tampa. His son, Green Robles, later planted a seedling grove from the strain. Leon Hanna obtained budwood from<br />

Green’s grove and planted his own grove around 1900, naming the variety after Joseph. Roble is probably as early<br />

in maturity as the Parson Brown. Seediness and juice color are equal to the Parson. Solids are competitive with<br />

the Valencia orange on sour orange rootstock. The peel is orange in color with a thick and rough texture like the<br />

Parson. The acid drops rapidly once it is past maturity. Roble is not recommended to be budded on Swingle or<br />

other trifoliate hybrid type rootstocks.<br />

Rohde is a deeper colored Valencia selection. This cultivar appeared as a limb sport in a Highlands County grove in<br />

1955, and was propagated by Mr. Paul Rohde and others in several Polk County locations. Clean stock budwood<br />

became available through the Citrus <strong>Budwood</strong> Registration Program in early 1983. Fruit is typical <strong>of</strong> many old line<br />

Valencia oranges in size and production, but develops a deeper juice color. Color scores have ranged from 39-40.<br />

Those selections have shown some tendency to be unstable and occasionally bear fruit <strong>of</strong> standard Valencia-type<br />

on certain limbs. Nurserymen are cautioned to select budwood from trees demonstrating good production and<br />

good color characteristics in the fruit. This was clone selected as the most stable and highest yielding <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Rohde’s, comparable to the highest yielding nucellar Valencia’s.<br />

Originated from Dr. Mort Cohen’s closed pollination selections made at the grove near Century Tower, on the<br />

campus <strong>of</strong> UF. This was the first Ruby Red grapefruit free <strong>of</strong> exocortis. Excellent fruit yields with typical fruit<br />

The <strong>Florida</strong> budwood program has positively impacted <strong>Florida</strong> citrus, as the use <strong>of</strong> registered budwood<br />

selections, or “budlines”, is responsible for impressive increases in yield and fruit quality in the industry. The<br />

budwood program introduced many nucellar lines that are still the basis <strong>of</strong> many <strong>of</strong> our main varieties. The<br />

ability to test for graft-transmitted pathogens, and exclude unclean propagating material, has not only increased<br />

production and tree longevity, but also the ability <strong>of</strong> our groves to withstand other environmental stresses.<br />

Diseases are kept out <strong>of</strong> the propagation system<br />

o Using clean nursery stock means growers receive disease-free trees coming out <strong>of</strong> the nursery<br />

Testing for citrus viroids is more critical than ever, as the industry uses predominantly citrange<br />

and citrumelo type rootstocks that are more susceptible to viroids<br />

o The budwood program is credited with having viroid-free trees for the industry to use when the rootstocks<br />

were changed from rough lemon and sour orange to Carrizo and Swingle<br />

Other countries without budwood programs had major viroid problems when changing rootstocks<br />

away from sour orange<br />

Citrus tristeza virus strains are worse today than a few years ago<br />

o Stem pitting tristeza virus strains have been found in several commercial grove locations in <strong>Florida</strong><br />

Psorosis virus is becoming hard to find in <strong>Florida</strong> after 50 years <strong>of</strong> budwood registration<br />

o Prior to the budwood program psorosis was widespread in <strong>Florida</strong><br />

Yields in psorosis infected trees were reduced 10 to 35 percent<br />

Resistance to freezes and other environmental factors were compromised with infected trees<br />

Protection <strong>of</strong> our industry from exotic citrus diseases requires controlling citrus propagating<br />

material<br />

o Citrus greening is the latest disease to move from the exotic disease list to become an endemic disease<br />

o Citrus variegated chlorosis and citrus sudden death are examples <strong>of</strong> pathogens whose main means <strong>of</strong><br />

control is budwood certification<br />

Grove trees started from clean stock have the potential to be pr<strong>of</strong>itable even in the presence <strong>of</strong><br />

disease, whereas nursery trees started systemically infected will never become pr<strong>of</strong>itable grove<br />

trees<br />

Yields are increased with registered budwood clonal selections<br />

o Nucellar Valencia clones alone increased yields by 25% over old line selections<br />

o Examples <strong>of</strong> registered clonal selections in every variety show remarkable yield gains<br />

True to type varieties and rootstocks are propagated<br />

o Inspected trees with <strong>of</strong>f-types are removed from budwood supply<br />

<strong>Budwood</strong> programs are recognized worldwide as the most effective means <strong>of</strong> excluding and<br />

containing citrus graft-transmissible pathogens<br />
