柑桔属植物进化与分类研究进展

Advances in Citrus Taxonomy and Evolution

柑桔是世界最重要的经济作物之一,在热带和亚热带地区广泛栽培。柑桔属(CitrusL.)植物的分类和进化问题是迄今没有解决的科学难题。回顾了现有的主要柑桔分类系统和柑桔分类与进化研究的方法,总结了过去10余年所取得的研究进展,旨在为今后的研究提供依据。

Citrus is one of the most important fruit tree crops and widely cultivated in the tropical and subtropical areas in the world. The existing Citrus taxonomy and evolutionary points of views are still controversial. In the present paper, the major classification systems and the current approaches and evidences used in the Citrus taxonomy and evolutionary study were reviewed. The advances made in the past decade were summarized in the hope of providing new information for future study.
