Strategies to Produce Grapefruit-Like Citrus Varieties With a Low Furanocoumarin Content and Distinctive Flavonoid Profiles.

摘要: Pummelos and hybrids, such as grapefruits, have high furanocoumarin low flavonoid contents. Furanocoumarins interact negatively with certain drugs, while flavonoids are antioxidant compounds health benefits. To obtain new grapefruit-like varieties contents, diploid triploid hybrid populations from crosses between tetraploid "Clemenules" clementine "Pink" pummelo were recovered analyzed. With regard to furanocoumarins, triploids produce less bergapten, bergamottin 6,7-DHB than diploids. Regarding flavonoids, yielded more eriocitrin, narirutin, hesperidin neohesperidin diploids, whereas no differences observed in neoeriocitrin naringin. These results indicate that, the strategy recover hybrids by 4x × 2x is appropriate recovery of for obtaining citrus lower higher
