Selection of Pummelo, Mandarin and Orange Fruits (IMAGE)
Caption
This image displays a selection of mandarin, pummelo and orange fruits, including cultivars sequenced in the study published ahead online June 8, 2014 in Nature Biotechnology. Pummelos (at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock) are large trees that produce very large fruit with white, pink or red flesh color and yellow or pink rinds. Mandarins (smaller fruit located at 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock and between the pummelos) are smaller trees bearing smaller fruit with orange flesh and rind color. Oranges (the fruit in the center and the large slice next to the pummelo) are generally intermediate in tree and fruit size; the flesh and rind color is commonly orange. The dark green fruit at the bottom right corner is an immature sour orange.
