Abstract C35 and C32 citranges are being released for rootstock trial because of their relative tolerance to the citrus nematode ( Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb), to Phytophthora species, and to the tristeza virus. They also impart considerable vigor to their scions and have shown satisfactory yields with some scions in limited tests. Each has certain characteristics that could limit its use.
