This means that there is only

one superspecies </wiki/Superspecies> that includes grapefruits </wiki/Grapefruit>, lemons </wiki/Lemon>, limes </wiki/Lime_(fruit)>, oranges, and various other types and hybrids.^[10] <#cite_note-10> As the interfertility of oranges and other citrus has produced numerous hybrids, bud unions, and cultivars </wiki/Cultivar>, their taxonomy </wiki/Taxonomy_(biology)> is fairly controversial, confusing or inconsistent.^[3] <#cite_note-Nicolosi-3> ^[7] <#cite_note-citrusgenomedb.org-7> The fruit of any citrus tree is considered a hesperidium </wiki/Hesperidium> (a kind of modified berry </wiki/Berry>) because it has numerous seeds </wiki/Seed>, is fleshy and soft, derives from a single ovary </wiki/Ovary_(plants)> and is covered by a rind </wiki/Peel_(fruit)> originated by a rugged thickening of the ovary wall </wiki/Fruit_anatomy#Pericarp_layers>.^[11] <#cite_note-Bailey-11> ^[12] <#cite_note-12> Different names have been given to the many varieties of the genus. /Orange/ applies primarily to the sweet orange /Citrus sinensis/ (L. </wiki/Carl_Linnaeus>) Osbeck </wiki/Osbeck>. The orange tree is an evergreen </wiki/Evergreen>, flowering </wiki/Flowering_plant> tree, with an average height of 9 to 10 metres (30 to 33 ft), although some very old specimens can reach 15 metres (49 ft).^[13] <#cite_note-webber4-13> Its oval leaves </wiki/Leaf>, alternately arranged </wiki/Leaf_arrangement>, are 4 to 10 centimetres (1.6 to 3.9 in) long and have crenulate </wiki/Crenulate> margins.^[14] <#cite_note-14> Although the sweet orange presents different sizes and shapes varying from spherical to oblong, it generally has ten segments (/carpels </wiki/Carpel>/) inside, and contains up to six seeds (or /pips/)^[15] <#cite_note-15> and a porous white tissue called pith </wiki/Pith> or, more properly, mesocarp </wiki/Fruit_anatomy#Mesocarp> or albedo^[16] <#cite_note-16> lines its rind. When unripe, the fruit is green. The grainy irregular rind of the ripe fruit can range from bright orange to yellow-orange, but frequently retains green patches or, under warm climate conditions, remains entirely green. Like all other citrus fruits, the sweet orange is non-climacteric </wiki/Climacteric_(botany)>. The /Citrus sinensis/ is subdivided into four classes with distinct characteristics: common oranges, blood or pigmented oranges, navel oranges, and acidless oranges.^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> ^[18] <#cite_note-Webber1-18> ^[19] <#cite_note-Sauls-19> Other citrus species also known as oranges are: * the bitter orange </wiki/Bitter_orange> (/Citrus aurantium/), also known as Seville orange, sour orange especially when used as rootstock </wiki/Rootstock> for a sweet orange tree , bigarade orange and marmalade orange; * the bergamot orange </wiki/Bergamot_orange> (/Citrus bergamia Risso/). It is grown mainly in Italy for its peel, which is used to flavour Earl Grey </wiki/Earl_Grey_tea> tea; * the trifoliate orange </wiki/Trifoliate_orange> (/Poncirus trifoliata/), sometimes included in the genus (classified as /Citrus trifoliata/). It often serves as a rootstock </wiki/Rootstock> for sweet orange trees, especially as a hybrid with other /Citrus/ cultivars </wiki/Cultivar>. The trifoliate orange is a thorny shrub or small tree grown mostly as an ornamental plant </wiki/Ornamental_plant> or to set up hedges. It bears a downy fruit similar to a small citrus, used to make marmalade. It is native to northern China and Korea, and is also known as "Chinese bitter orange" or "hardy orange" because it can withstand subfreezing temperatures;^[20] <#cite_note-20> and

Four satsumas </wiki/File:Satsuma_mandarin-cutout.jpg> </wiki/File:Satsuma_mandarin-cutout.jpg> Satsumas </wiki/Citrus_unshiu> * the mandarin orange </wiki/Mandarin_orange> (/Citrus reticulata/). It has an enormous number of cultivars, most notably the satsuma </wiki/Satsuma_(fruit)> (/Citrus unshiu/), the tangerine </wiki/Tangerine> (/Citrus tangerina/) and the clementine </wiki/Clementine> (/Citrus clementina/). In some cultivars, the mandarin is very similar to the sweet orange, making it difficult to distinguish between the two. The mandarin, however, is generally smaller and oblate, easier to peel, and less acid.^[21] <#cite_note-21> Orange trees generally are grafted </wiki/Grafting>. The bottom of the tree, including the roots and trunk, is called rootstock, while the fruit-bearing top has two different names: budwood </w/index.php?title=Budwood&action=edit&redlink=1> (when referring to the process of grafting) and scion </wiki/Scion_(grafting)> (when mentioning the variety of orange).^[22] <#cite_note-22> Etymology[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=2>] The origin of the term /orange/ is presumably the Sanskrit </wiki/Sanskrit> word for "orange tree" ( , /nraga/),^[23] <#cite_note-Collins-23> whose form has changed over time, after passing through numerous intermediate languages. The fruit is known as "Chinese apple" in several modern languages. Some examples are Dutch /sinaasappel/^[24] <#cite_note-24> (literally, "China's apple") and /appelsien/, or Low German </wiki/Low_German> /Apfelsine/. In English, however, /Chinese apple/ usually refers to the pomegranate </wiki/Pomegranate>.^[25] <#cite_note-25> Varieties[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=3>] Common oranges[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=4>] Common oranges (also called "white", "round", or "blond" oranges) constitute about two-thirds of all the orange production. The majority of this crop is used mostly for juice extraction.^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> ^[19] <#cite_note-Sauls-19> Valencia[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=5>] Main article: Valencia orange </wiki/Valencia_orange> The Valencia orange is a late-season fruit, and therefore a popular variety when navel oranges are out of season. This is why an anthropomorphic orange was chosen as the mascot </wiki/Mascot> for the 1982 FIFA World Cup </wiki/1982_FIFA_World_Cup>, held in Spain. The mascot was named Naranjito </wiki/Naranjito_(mascot)> ("little orange") and wore the colours of the Spanish national football team kit.

Hart's Tardiff Valencia[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=6>] Thomas Rivers, an English nurseryman, imported this variety from the Azores Islands and catalogued it in 1865 under the name Excelsior. Around 1870, he provided trees to S. B. Parsons, a Long Island nurseryman, who in turn sold them to E. H. Hart of Federal Point, Florida.^[26] <#cite_note-coit-26> Hamlin[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=7>] This cultivar was discovered by A. G. Hamlin near Glenwood, Florida, in 1879. The fruit is small, smooth, not highly coloured, seedless, and juicy, with a pale yellow coloured juice, especially in fruits that come from lemon rootstock. The tree is high-yielding and cold-tolerant and it produces good quality fruit, which is harvested from October to December. It thrives in humid subtropical climates. In cooler, more arid areas, the trees produce edible fruit, but too small for commercial use.^[13] <#cite_note-webber4-13> Trees from groves in hammocks </wiki/Hammock> or areas covered with pine forest are budded </wiki/Shield_budding> on sour orange trees, a method that gives a high solids content. On sand, they are grafted on rough lemon rootstock.^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> The Hamlin orange is one of the most popular juice oranges in Florida and replaces the Parson Brown variety as the principal early-season juice orange. This cultivar is now^[/needs update </wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Chronological_items>/] the leading early orange in Florida and, possibly, in the rest of the world.^[13] <#cite_note-webber4-13> Other varieties of common oranges[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=8>] refer to caption </wiki/File:Indian_hybrid_Orange.jpg> </wiki/File:Indian_hybrid_Orange.jpg> Indian hybrid Orange * Belladonna: grown in Italy * Berna: grown mainly in Spain * Biondo Commune ("ordinary blond"): widely grown in the Mediterranean basin, especially in North Africa, Egypt, Greece (where it is called "koines"), Italy (where it is also known as "Liscio"), and Spain; it also is called "Beledi" and "Nostrale";^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> in Italy, this variety ripens in December, earlier than the competing Tarocco variety^[27] <#cite_note-webcapua.com-27> * Biondo Riccio: grown in Italy * Cadanera: a seedless orange of excellent flavour grown in Algeria, Morocco, and Spain; it begins to ripen in November and is known by a wide variety of trade names, such as Cadena Fina, Cadena sin Jueso, Precoce de Valence ("early from Valencia"), Precoce des Canaries, and Valence san Pepins ("seedless Valencia");^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> it was first grown in Spain in 1870^[28] <#cite_note-28> * Calabrese or Calabrese Ovale: grown in Italy

Navel oranges are characterized by the growth of a second fruit at the apex </wiki/Meristem#Apical_meristems>, which protrudes slightly and resembles a human navel. They are primarily grown for human consumption for various reasons: their thicker skin make them easy to peel, they are less juicy and their bitterness a result of the high concentrations of limonin </wiki/Limonin> and other limonoids </wiki/Limonoid> renders them less suitable for juice.^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> Their widespread distribution and long growing season have made navel oranges very popular. In the United States, they are available from November to April, with peak supplies in January, February, and March.^[32] <#cite_note-32> refer to caption </wiki/File:Navel_orange_sectioned.jpg> </wiki/File:Navel_orange_sectioned.jpg> A navel orange, peeled and sectioned; the underdeveloped twin fruit is located on the bottom right According to a 1917 study by Palemon Dorsett </wiki/Palemon_Howard_Dorsett>, Archibald Dixon Shamel </w/index.php?title=Archibald_Dixon_Shamel&action=edit&redlink=1> and Wilson Popenoe </wiki/Wilson_Popenoe> of the United States Department of Agriculture </wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture> (USDA), a single mutation </wiki/Mutation> in a Selecta orange tree planted on the grounds of a monastery near Bahia </wiki/Salvador,_Bahia>, Brazil,

probably yielded the first navel orange between 1810 and 1820.^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> Nevertheless, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside, has suggested that the parent variety was more likely the Portuguese navel orange (/Umbigo/), described by Antoine Risso </wiki/Antoine_Risso> and Pierre Antoine Poiteau </wiki/Pierre_Antoine_Poiteau> in their book /Histoire naturelle des orangers/ ("Natural History of Orange Trees", 18181822).^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> The mutation caused the orange to develop a second fruit at its base, opposite the stem, as a conjoined twin </wiki/Conjoined_twins> in a set of smaller segments embedded within the peel of the primary orange.^[34] <#cite_note-cfaitc-34> Navel oranges were introduced in Australia in 1824 and in Florida in 1835. In 1870, twelve cuttings of the original tree were transplanted to Riverside, California, where the fruit became known as "Washington".^[35] <#cite_note-35> This cultivar was very successful, and rapidly spread to other countries.^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> Because the mutation left the fruit seedless and, therefore, sterile, the only method to cultivate navel oranges was to graft cuttings onto other varieties of citrus trees. The California Citrus State Historic Park </wiki/California_Citrus_State_Historic_Park> and the Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center </wiki/Orcutt_Ranch_Horticulture_Center> preserve the history of navel oranges in Riverside. Today, navel oranges continue to be propagated through cutting </wiki/Cutting_(plant)> and grafting </wiki/Grafting>. This does not allow for the usual selective breeding </wiki/Artificial_selection> methodologies, and so all navel oranges can be considered fruits from that single, nearly two-hundred-year-old tree: they have exactly the same genetic make-up as the original tree and are, therefore, clones </wiki/Cloning>. This case is similar to that of the common yellow seedless banana, the Cavendish </wiki/Cavendish_banana>. On rare occasions, however, further mutations can lead to new varieties.^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> Cara cara navels[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=10>] Slices of common and cara cara oranges on a plate </wiki/File:Caracaraorange.png> </wiki/File:Caracaraorange.png> Cara cara orange slices (left) Cara cara oranges </wiki/Cara_cara_orange> (also called "red navel") are a type of navel orange grown mainly in Venezuela, South Africa and in California's San Joaquin Valley. They are sweet and comparatively low in acid,^[36] <#cite_note-UBC-36> with a bright orange rind similar to that of other navels, but their flesh is distinctively pinkish red. It is believed that they have originated as a cross between the Washington navel and the Brazilian Bahia navel,^[37] <#cite_note-Susser-37> and they were discovered at the Hacienda </wiki/Hacienda> Cara Cara in Valencia, Venezuela, in 1976.^[38] <#cite_note-UCR-38> South African cara caras are ready for market in early August, while Venezuelan fruits arrive in October and Californian fruits in late November.^[36] <#cite_note-UBC-36> ^[37] <#cite_note-Susser-37> Other varieties of navels[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=11>]

Sectioned oranges on a plate </wiki/File:Oranges_blood_vs_regular.jpg> </wiki/File:Oranges_blood_vs_regular.jpg> Comparison between the inside and the outside of regular and blood oranges Main article: Blood orange </wiki/Blood_orange> Blood oranges are a natural mutation of /C. sinensis/, although today the majority of them are hybrids. High concentrations of anthocyanin </wiki/Anthocyanin> give the rind, flesh, and juice of the fruit their characteristic dark red colour. Blood oranges were first discovered and cultivated in Sicily in the fifteenth century. Since then they have spread worldwide, but are grown especially in Spain and Italyunder the names of /sanguina/ and /sanguinella/, respectively. The blood orange, with its distinct colour and flavour, is generally considered the most delicious juice orange,^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> and has found a niche as an ingredient variation in traditional Seville marmalade. Other varieties of blood oranges[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=13>] * Maltese: a small and highly coloured variety, generally thought to have originated in Italy as a mutation and cultivated there for centuries. It also is grown extensively in southern Spain and Malta. It is used in sorbets and other desserts due to its rich burgundy colour. * Moro: originally from Sicily, it is common throughout Italy. This medium-sized fruit has a relatively long harvest, which lasts from December to April. * Sanguinelli: a mutant of the Doble Fina, discovered in 1929 in Almenara, in the Castelln province of Spain. It is cultivated in Sicily. * Scarlet navel: a variety with the same mutation as the navel orange. * Tarocco: a relatively new variety developed in Italy. It begins to ripen in late January.^[27] <#cite_note-webcapua.com-27> Acidless oranges[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=14>] Acidless oranges are an early-season fruit with very low levels of acid, which are rather insipid. They also are called "sweet" oranges in the U.S., with similar names in other countries: /douce/ in France, /sucrena/ in Spain, /dolce/ or /maltese/ in Italy, /meski/ in North Africa and the Near East (where they are especially popular), /eker portakal/ ("sugar orange") in Turkey,^[39] <#cite_note-39> /succari/ in Egypt, and /lima/ in Brazil.^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> The lack of acid, which protects orange juice against spoilage in other

groups, renders them generally unfit for processing as juice, so they are primarily eaten. They remain profitable in areas of local consumption, but rapid spoilage renders them unsuitable for export to major population centres of Europe, Asia, or the United States.^[17] <#cite_note-Kimball-17> Attributes[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=15>] Nutritional value[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=16>] Oranges, raw, all commercial varieties Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz) Energy </wiki/Food_energy> 197 kJ (47 kcal) Carbohydrates </wiki/Carbohydrate> 11.75 g - Sugars </wiki/Sugar> 9.35 g - Dietary fibre </wiki/Dietary_fiber> 2.4 g Fat </wiki/Fat> 0.12 g Protein </wiki/Protein_(nutrient)> 0.94 g Water </wiki/Water> 86.75 g Vitamin A </wiki/Vitamin_A> equiv. 11 g (1%) Thiamine (vit.

<#cite_note-sinclair-40> ^[41] <#cite_note-41> Grading[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=18>] The United States Department of Agriculture </wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture> (USDA) has established the following grades for Florida oranges, which primarily apply to oranges sold as fresh fruit: US Fancy, US No. 1 Bright, US No. 1, US No. 1 Golden, US No. 1 Bronze, US No. 1 Russet, US No. 2 Bright, US No. 2, US No. 2 Russet, and US No. 3.^[42] <#cite_note-usda_fla-42> The general characteristics graded are colour (both hue and uniformity), firmness, maturity, varietal characteristics, texture, and shape. /Fancy/, the highest grade, requires the highest grade of colour and an absence of blemishes, while the terms /Bright/, /Golden/, /Bronze/, and /Russet/ concern solely discolouration. Grade numbers are determined by the amount of unsightly blemishes on the skin and firmness of the fruit that do not affect consumer safety. The USDA separates blemishes into three categories: 1. General blemishes: ammoniation, buckskin, caked melanose, creasing, decay, scab, split navels, sprayburn, undeveloped segments, unhealed segments, and wormy fruit 2. Injuries to fruit: bruises, green spots, oil spots, rough, wide, or protruding navels, scale, scars, skin breakdown </wiki/Skin_breakdown>, and thorn scratches 3. Damage caused by dirt or other foreign material, disease, dryness, or mushy condition, hail, insects, riciness or woodiness, and sunburn.^[42] <#cite_note-usda_fla-42> The USDA uses a separate grading system for oranges used for juice because appearance and texture are irrelevant in this case. There are only two grades: US Grade AA Juice and US Grade A Juice, which are given to the oranges before processing. Juice grades are determined by three factors: 1. The juiciness of the orange 2. The amount of solids in the juice (at least 10% solids are required for the AA grade) 3. The proportion of anhydric citric acid </wiki/Citric_acid> in fruit solids History[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=19>] There are no reports of sweet oranges occurring in the wild. In general, it is believed that sweet orange trees have originated in Southeast Asia, northeastern India, or southern China,^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> and that they were first cultivated in China around 2500 BC.^[/citation needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/] In Europe, citrus fruitsamong them the bitter orange, introduced to Italy by the crusaders in the 11th centurywere grown widely in the south for medicinal purposes,^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> but the sweet orange was unknown until the late 15th century or the beginnings of the 16th century, when Italian and Portuguese merchants brought orange trees into the Mediterranean area.^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> Shortly afterward, the sweet orange quickly was adopted as an edible fruit. It

also was considered a luxury item and wealthy people grew oranges in private conservatories, called orangeries </wiki/Orangerie>. By 1646, the sweet orange was well known throughout Europe.^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> Spanish explorers introduced the sweet orange into the American continent. On his second voyage in 1493, Christopher Columbus took seeds of oranges, lemons, and citrons </wiki/Citron> to Haiti and the Caribbean. Subsequent expeditions in the mid-1500s brought sweet oranges to South America and Mexico, and to Florida in 1565, when Pedro Menndez de Avils </wiki/Pedro_Men%C3%A9ndez_de_Avil%C3%A9s> founded St Augustine </wiki/St._Augustine,_Florida>.^[43] <#cite_note-43> Spanish missionaries </wiki/Spanish_missions_in_Arizona> brought orange trees to Arizona between 1707 and 1710, while the Franciscans </wiki/Spanish_missions_in_California> did the same in San Diego, California, in 1769. An orchard was planted at the San Gabriel Mission </wiki/Mission_San_Gabriel_Arc%C3%A1ngel> around 1804 and a commercial orchard was established in 1841 near present-day Los Angeles. In Louisiana, oranges probably were introduced by French explorers. Archibald Menzies </wiki/Archibald_Menzies>, the botanist and naturalist on the Vancouver Expedition </wiki/Vancouver_Expedition>, collected orange seeds in South Africa, raised the seedlings onboard and gave them to several Hawaiian chiefs in 1792. Eventually, the sweet orange was grown in wide areas of the Hawaiian Islands, but its cultivation stopped after the arrival of the Mediterranean fruit fly </wiki/Ceratitis_capitata> in the early 1900s.^[6] <#cite_note-morton-6> ^[44] <#cite_note-44> As oranges are rich in vitamin C and do not spoil easily, during the Age of Discovery </wiki/Age_of_Discovery>, Portuguese </wiki/Portuguese_empire>, Spanish </wiki/Spanish_empire>, and Dutch </wiki/Dutch_empire> sailors planted citrus trees along trade routes to prevent scurvy </wiki/Scurvy>. Around 1872, Florida farmers obtained seeds from New Orleans, so many orange groves were established by grafting the sweet orange on to sour orange rootstocks. Cultivation[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=20>] Climate[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=21>] refer to caption </wiki/File:Citrus_sinensis_JPG01.jpg> </wiki/File:Citrus_sinensis_JPG01.jpg> Orange tree in the National Botanic Garden of Belgium </wiki/National_Botanic_Garden_of_Belgium> in Meise </wiki/Meise> Like most citrus plants, oranges do well under moderate temperaturesbetween 15.5 and 29 C (60 and 84 F)and require considerable amounts of sunshine and water. It has been suggested that the use of water resources by the citrus industry in the Middle East is a contributing factor to the desiccation </wiki/Desiccation> of the region. ^[/citation needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/] Another significant element in the full development of the fruit is the temperature variation between summer and winter and, between day and

night. In cooler climates, oranges can be grown indoors. As oranges are sensitive to frost </wiki/Frost>, there are different methods to prevent frost damage to crops and trees when subfreezing temperatures are expected. A common process is to spray the trees with water so as to cover them with a thin layer of ice that will stay just /at/ the freezing point, insulating them even if air temperatures drop far lower. This is because water continues to lose heat as long as the environment is colder than it is, and so the water turning to ice in the environment cannot damage the trees. This practice, however, offers protection only for a very short time.^[45] <#cite_note-45> Another procedure is burning fuel oil in smudge pots </wiki/Smudge_pot> put between the trees. These devices burn with a great deal of particulate emission, so condensation of water vapour on the particulate soot prevents condensation on plants and raises the air temperature very slightly. Smudge pots were developed for the first time after a disastrous freeze in Southern California in January 1913 destroyed a whole crop.^[46] <#cite_note-moore-46> Propagation[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=22>] See also: Fruit tree propagation </wiki/Fruit_tree_propagation> It is possible to grow orange trees directly from seeds, but they may be infertile or produce fruit that may be different from its parent. For the seed of a commercial orange to grow, it must be kept moist at all times. One approach is placing the seeds between two sheets of damp paper towel until they germinate and then planting them, although many cultivators just set the seeds straight into the soil. Commercially grown orange trees are propagated </wiki/Plant_propagation> asexually </wiki/Asexual_reproduction> by grafting </wiki/Grafting> a mature cultivar </wiki/Cultivar> onto a suitable seedling </wiki/Seedling> rootstock </wiki/Rootstock> to ensure the same yield </wiki/Crop_yield>, identical fruit characteristics, and resistance to diseases throughout the years. Propagation involves two stages: first, a rootstock is grown from seed. Then, when it is approximately one year old, the leafy top is cut off and a bud </wiki/Bud> taken from a specific scion </wiki/Scion_(grafting)> variety, is grafted into its bark. The scion is what determines the variety of orange, while the rootstock makes the tree resistant to pests and diseases and adaptable to specific soil </wiki/Soil_type> and climatic conditions. Thus, rootstocks influence the rate of growth and have an effect on fruit yield and quality.^[47] <#cite_note-Lacey-47> Rootstocks must be compatible with the variety inserted into them because otherwise, the tree may decline, be less productive, and even die.^[47] <#cite_note-Lacey-47> Among the several advantages to grafting are that trees mature uniformly and begin to bear fruit earlier than those reproduced by seeds (3 to 4 years in contrast with 6 to 7 years),^[48] <#cite_note-Citrus-48> and that it makes it possible to combine the best attributes of a scion with those of a rootstock.^[49] <#cite_note-49> Principal rootstocks[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=23>]

Today, five types of rootstock predominate in relatively cool climates where cold or freezing weather is probable, especially Florida and southern Europe. * Sour rootstock: it is the only rootstock that truly is an orange (the /Citrus/ </wiki/Hybrid_name> /aurantium/ or bitter orange). It is vigorous and highly drought-resistant. * /Poncirus trifoliata/: it is a close relative of the /Citrus/ genus, sometimes classified as /Citrus trifoliata/. It is especially resistant to cold, the tristeza virus </wiki/Citrus_tristeza_virus>, and the fungus /Phytophthora parasitica </wiki/Phytophthora_parasitica>/ (root rot) and grows well in loam </wiki/Loam> soil. Among its disadvantages are its slow growthit is the slowest growing rootstockand its poor resistance to heat and drought. It is primarily used in China, Japan, and areas of California with heavy soils.^[50] <#cite_note-50> * Swingle citrumelo: it is tolerant of tristeza virus and /Phytophthora parasitica/ and moderately resistant to salt and freezing.^[48] <#cite_note-Citrus-48> This rootstock selection was hybridized from the Duncan grapefruit (/Citrus paradisi Macfadyen/) and the /Poncirus trifoliata/ (L.) Raf. </wiki/Constantine_Samuel_Rafinesque> by Walter Tennyson Swingle </wiki/Walter_Tennyson_Swingle> in Eustis, Florida, in 1907. It was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to nurserymen in 1974. * /Troyer/ citrange and /Carrizo/ citrange </wiki/Citrange>: these reasonably vigorous rootstocks are resistant to /Phytophthora parasitica/, nematodes </wiki/Nematode>, and tristeza virus and show good cold tolerance. They also are highly polyembryonic </wiki/Polyembryonic>, so growers can obtain multiple plants from a single seed. Citrange, however, does not do well in clay, calcareous </wiki/Calcareous> or high-pH soils, and is sensitive to salinity. It is not feasible as rootstock for mandarin scions, as it overgrows them by producing branches of its own in competition with the grafted budwood.^[51] <#cite_note-51> Citranges are hybrids of the Washington navel orange and the /Poncirus trifoliata/. The original crosses, made in the early 1900s by the U.S. Department of Agriculture with the intention of producing cold tolerant scion varieties, were later identified as suitable for use as rootstocks. The commercial use of these rootstocks began in Australia in the 1960s. The /Troyer/ variety generally is found in California, while the /Carrizo/ variety is used in Florida. * Cleopatra mandarin: it is tolerant of salinity and soil alkalinity </wiki/Alkalinity> and also suitable for shallow soils. It is used primarily in Spain, Australia, and Florida. Dade County, for example, has 85% calcareous </wiki/Calcareous#In_geology> soil, a typical trait of land that has been under water.^[52] <#cite_note-52> The Cleopatra mandarin, originated in India and introduced into Florida from Jamaica in the mid-nineteenth century, has been distributed and tested as a rootstock throughout the world. Nowadays, however, it is considered an inferior rootstock because it is sensitive to many diseases, grows slowly, and is difficult to propagate.^[53] <#cite_note-53> Other rootstock varieties in the United States[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=24>] * African shaddock X trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Benton citrange trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33>

* Borneo Rangpur lime^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Bitters C-22 citrange (/X Citroncirus sp./ Rutaceae): it was hybridized at the USDA U.S. Date and Citrus Station in Indio, California, and developed further by the University of California, Riverside. It is used primarily as rootstock for navel oranges in California. In 2009, a report suggested it also may be useful to replace sour orange rootstock for grapefruit in Texas because it is tolerant of calcareous soil.^[54] <#cite_note-54> ^[55] <#cite_note-plantbiology.ucr.edu-55> Its name is not related to the bitter orange: it was named after Dr William Bitters, professor of Horticulture and a curator of the Citrus Variety Collection </wiki/University_of_California,_Riverside_Citrus_Variety_Collection>. * Carpenter C-54 citrange^[55] <#cite_note-plantbiology.ucr.edu-55> * C-32 citrange trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * C-35 citrange trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Calamondin kumquat hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Carrizo citrange trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Citradia trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Citremon trifoliate hybrid (CRC 1449)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Citrumelo trifoliate hybrid C190^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Citrumelo trifoliate hybrid (CRC 1452)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Citrumelo trifoliate hybrid (CRC 4475)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * /Citrus macrophylla/ (Alemow)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * /Citrus volkameriana/ (Volkamer lemon)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Cleopatra mandarin X trifoliate hybrid X639^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Flying dragon trifoliate (CRC 3330A)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Fraser Seville sour orange^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Furr C-57 citrange^[55] <#cite_note-plantbiology.ucr.edu-55> * Goutoucheng sour orange (CRC 3929)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Goutoucheng sour orange (CRC 4004)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Grapefruit seedling (CRC 343)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Pomeroy trifoliate^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Rangpur lime X Troyer citrange hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Rich 16-6 trifoliate^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Rubidoux trifoliate^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Rusk citrange trifoliate orange^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Satsuma X trifoliate hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Schaub rough lemon^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Small-leaf trifoliate^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Smooth Flat Seville sour orange^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Sun Chu Sha Kat mandarin^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * US 119 (Grapefruit X trifoliate) X Sweet Orange hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Vangassay rough lemon^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Yuma Ponderosa lemon pummelo hybrid^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Zhuluan sour orange hybrid (CRC 3930)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> * Zhuluan sour orange hybrid (CRC 3981)^[33] <#cite_note-riverside-33> Harvest[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=25>] [icon] </wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg> This section requires expansion <//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit>. /(November 2012)/ Canopy-shaking mechanical harvesters are being used increasingly in Florida to harvest oranges. Current canopy shaker machines use a series

of six-to-seven-foot long tines to shake the tree canopy at a relatively constant stroke and frequency.^[56] <#cite_note-56> Degreening[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=26>] Oranges cannot be ripened artificially and must be mature when harvested.^[/citation needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/] In the United States, laws forbid harvesting immature fruit for human consumption in Texas, Arizona, California and Florida.^[57] <#cite_note-Wagner-57> Ripe oranges, however, often have some green or yellow-green colour in the skin. Ethylene </wiki/Ethylene> gas is used to turn green skin to orange. This process is known as "degreening", also called "gassing", "sweating", or "curing".^[57] <#cite_note-Wagner-57> Storage[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=27>] A stand with oranges, a man next to it, a cat on the floor </wiki/File:2010-12-14_Maroc_Agadir_Soukh_local_market.jpg> </wiki/File:2010-12-14_Maroc_Agadir_Soukh_local_market.jpg> A stand with oranges in a market at Agadir </wiki/Agadir>, Morocco </wiki/Morocco> Commercially, oranges can be stored by refrigeration in controlled-atmosphere chambers for up to 12 weeks after harvest. Storage life ultimately depends on cultivar, maturity, pre-harvest conditions, and handling.^[58] <#cite_note-58> In stores and markets, however, oranges should be displayed on non-refrigerated shelves. At home, oranges have a shelf life of about one month.^[59] <#cite_note-cpma-59> In either case, optimally, they are stored loosely in an open or perforated plastic bag.^[59] <#cite_note-cpma-59> Pests and diseases[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=28>] See also: List of citrus diseases </wiki/List_of_citrus_diseases> Cottony cushion scale[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=29>] The first major pest that attacked orange trees in the United States was the cottony cushion scale (/Icerya purchasi </wiki/Icerya_purchasi>/), imported from Australia to California in 1868. Within 20 years, it wiped out the citrus orchards around Los Angeles, and limited orange growth throughout California. In 1888, the USDA sent Alfred Koebele to Australia to study this scale insect </wiki/Scale_insect> in its native habitat. He brought back with him specimens of /Novius cardinalis/, an Australian ladybird beetle </wiki/Coccinellidae>, and within a decade the pest was controlled.^[26] <#cite_note-coit-26> Citrus greening disease[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=30>]

The citrus greening disease </wiki/Huanglongbing>, caused by the bacterium /Liberobacter asiaticum </w/index.php?title=Liberobacter_asiaticum&action=edit&redlink=1>/, has been the most serious threat to orange production since 2010. It is characterized by streaks of different shades on the leaves, and deformed, poorly-coloured, unsavoury fruit. In areas where the disease is endemic, citrus trees live for only five to eight years and never bear fruit suitable for consumption.^[60] <#cite_note-halbert-60> In the western hemisphere, it was discovered in Florida in 1998, where it has attacked nearly all the trees ever since. It was also reported in Brazil by Fundecitrus Brasil in 2004.^[60] <#cite_note-halbert-60> As from 2009, 0.87% of the trees in Brazil's main orange growing areas (So Paulo and Minas Gerais) showed symptoms of greening, which means an increase of 49% over 2008.^[61] <#cite_note-gainbr9006-61> The disease is spread primarily by two species of psyllid </wiki/Psyllid> insects. One of them is the Asian citrus psyllid (/Diaphorina citri </wiki/Diaphorina_citri>/ Kuwayama), an efficient vector </wiki/Vector_(epidemiology)> of the /Liberobacter asiaticum/. Generalist </wiki/Generalist_and_specialist_species> predators such as the ladybird beetles /Curinus coeruleus </w/index.php?title=Curinus_coeruleus&action=edit&redlink=1>/, /Olla v-nigrum </w/index.php?title=Olla_v-nigrum&action=edit&redlink=1>/, /Harmonia axyridis </wiki/Harmonia_axyridis>/, and /Cycloneda sanguinea </wiki/Cycloneda_sanguinea>/, and the lacewings </wiki/Neuroptera> /Ceraeochrysa </wiki/Ceraeochrysa> spp./ and /Chrysoperla </wiki/Chrysoperla> spp./ make significant contribution to the mortality of the Asian citrus psyllid, which results in 80100% reduction in psyllid populations. In contrast, parasitism by /Tamarixia radiata </w/index.php?title=Tamarixia_radiata&action=edit&redlink=1>/, a species-specific parasitoid of the Asian citrus psyllid, is variable and generally low in southwest Florida: in 2006, it amounted to a reduction of less than 12% from May to September and 50% in November. In 2007, foliar applications of insecticides reduced psyllid populations for a short time, but also suppressed the populations of predatory ladybird beetles. Soil application of aldicarb </wiki/Aldicarb> provided limited control of Asian citrus psyllid, while drenches of imidacloprid </wiki/Imidacloprid> to young trees were effective for two months or more.^[62] <#cite_note-62> Management of citrus greening disease is difficult and requires an integrated approach that includes use of clean stock, elimination of inoculum via voluntary and regulatory means, use of pesticides to control psyllid vectors in the citrus crop, and biological control of psyllid vectors in non-crop reservoirs. Citrus greening disease is not under completely successful management.^[60] <#cite_note-halbert-60> Greasy spot[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=31>] Greasy spot, a fungal disease </wiki/Plant_pathology#Fungi> caused by the /Mycosphaerella citri </wiki/Mycosphaerella_citri>/, produces leaf spots and premature defoliation, thus reducing the tree's vigour and yield. Ascospores </wiki/Ascospore> of /M. citri/ are generated in pseudothecia </wiki/Ascocarp> in decomposing fallen leaves.^[63] <#cite_note-63> Once mature, ascospores are ejected and subsequently dispersed by air currents.

Production[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=32>] Main article: Citrus production </wiki/Citrus_production> Brazil is the world's leading orange producer, with an output almost as high as that of the next three countries combined (the United States, India, and China). Orange groves are located mainly in the state of So Paulo </wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_(state)>, in the southeastern region </wiki/Southeast_Region,_Brazil> of Brazil, and account for approximately 80% of the national production. As almost 99% of the fruit is processed for export, 53% of total global frozen concentrated orange juice </wiki/Orange_juice#Frozen_concentrated_orange_juice> production comes from this area and the western part of the state of Minas Gerais </wiki/Minas_Gerais>. In Brazil, the four predominant orange varieties used for obtaining juice are Hamlin, Pera Rio, Natal, and Valencia.^[64] <#cite_note-gainbrazil-64> ^[65] <#cite_note-credit-65> The United States is the second largest producer. Groves are located especially in Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona. The majority of California's crop is sold as fresh fruit, whereas Florida's oranges are destined to juice products. Mid-south Florida produces about half as many oranges as Brazil, but the bulk of its orange juice is not exported. The Indian River </wiki/Indian_River_(Florida)> area of Florida is known for the high quality of its juice, which often is sold fresh in the U.S. and frequently blended with juice produced in other regions because Indian River trees yield very sweet oranges, but in relatively small quantities.^[66] <#cite_note-66> Production of orange juice between the So Paulo and mid-south Florida areas makes up roughly 85% of the world market. Brazil exports 99% of its production, while 90% of Florida's production is consumed in the U.S.^[67] <#cite_note-us-67> Orange juice is traded internationally in the form of frozen, concentrated orange juice to reduce the volume used so that storage and transportation costs are lower.^[68] <#cite_note-spread-68> The European Union is the third largest producer of oranges worldwide.^[65] <#cite_note-credit-65> Top orange producers (million tonnes </wiki/Tonnes>) 2005 2008 2010 Brazil </wiki/Brazil> 17.9 18.5 18.1 United States </wiki/United_States> 8.4 9.1 7.5 India </wiki/India> 3.3 4.9 6.0 China </wiki/China> 2.7 4.2 5.0* Mexico </wiki/Mexico> 4.1 4.3 4.1 Spain </wiki/Spain> 2.4 3.4 3.1 Egypt </wiki/Egypt> 1.9 2.1 2.4 Italy </wiki/Italy> 2.3 2.2 2.4 Indonesia </wiki/Indonesia> 2.2 2.5 2.0 Turkey </wiki/Turkey> 1.4 1.4 1.7 Pakistan </wiki/Pakistan> 1.7 1.6 1.5 Iran </wiki/Iran> 2.3 2.6 1.5 *World Total* *63.1* *69.6* *68.3* ***= unofficial figure.

Juice and other products[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=33>] Oranges, whose flavour may vary from sweet </wiki/Sweet> to sour </wiki/Sour>, are commonly peeled and eaten fresh or squeezed for juice. The thick bitter rind is usually discarded, but can be processed into animal feed by desiccation </wiki/Desiccation>, using pressure </wiki/Pressure> and heat. It also is used in certain recipes as a food flavouring or garnish </wiki/Garnish_(food)>. The outermost layer of the rind can be thinly grated with a zester </wiki/Zester> to produce orange zest </wiki/Zest_(ingredient)>. Zest is popular in cooking because it contains the oil glands and has a strong flavour similar to that of the orange pulp. The white part of the rind, including the pith, is a source of pectin </wiki/Pectin> and has nearly the same amount of vitamin C as the flesh and other nutrients. Although not so juicy or tasty as the flesh, orange peel is edible and has higher contents of vitamin C and more fibre </wiki/Dietary_fiber>. It also contains citral </wiki/Citral>, an aldehyde </wiki/Aldehyde> that antagonizes the action of vitamin A </wiki/Vitamin_A>, Particularly in environments where resources are scarce and therefore maximum nutritional value must be obtained with the minimum generation of waste, for example, on a submarine, orange peels have been consumed routinely. Since large concentrations of pesticides </wiki/Pesticide> have been found in orange peels,^[70] <#cite_note-70> some organizations^[/which? </wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words>/] recommend consumption of the peel of only organically </wiki/Organic_farming> grown and processed oranges, where chemical pesticides or herbicides would not have been used.^[71] <#cite_note-71> Products made from oranges[edit </w/index.php?title=Orange_(fruit)&action=edit&section=34>] * Orange juice </wiki/Orange_juice> is obtained by squeezing the fruit on a special tool (a /juicer/ or /squeezer/) and collecting the juice in a tray underneath. This can be made at home or, on a much larger scale, industrially. Brazil is the largest producer of orange juice in the world, followed by the U.S., where it is one of the commodities traded on the New York Board of Trade </wiki/New_York_Board_of_Trade>.

It is used for flavouring </wiki/Flavouring> food and drinks

and also in the perfume industry and aromatherapy </wiki/Aromatherapy> for its fragrance </wiki/Fragrance>. Sweet orange oil consists of approximately 90% D-limonene </wiki/Limonene>, a solvent </wiki/Solvent> used in various household chemicals, such as wood conditioners for furniture andalong with other citrus oilsdetergents and hand cleansers. It is an efficient cleaning agent with a pleasant smell, promoted for being environmentally friendly and therefore, preferable to petrochemicals. D-limonene is, however, classified from slightly toxic to humans,^[73] <#cite_note-73> to very toxic to marine life in different countries.^[74] <#cite_note-74> Although once thought to cause renal cancer </wiki/Renal_cell_carcinoma> in rats, limonene is now considered a natural chemopreventive </wiki/Chemoprophylaxis> agent in humans,^[75] <#cite_note-75> ^[76] <#cite_note-76> since there is no evidence for its carcinogenicity </wiki/Carcinogen> or genotoxicity </wiki/Genotoxic>. The Carcinogenic Potency Project estimates that D-limonene causes human cancer on a level roughly equivalent to that caused by exposure to caffeic acid </wiki/Caffeic_acid> via dietary coffee intake,^[77] <#cite_note-77> whereas the International Agency for Research on Cancer </wiki/International_Agency_for_Research_on_Cancer> (IARC) classifies it under Class 3 </wiki/List_of_IARC_Group_3_carcinogens>, which means it is /not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans/.^[78] <#cite_note-iarc-78> Orange blossoms </wiki/Orange_blossom> are used in several different ways, as are fruit peels and the leaves and wood of the tree. * The orange blossom, which is the state flower </wiki/Floral_emblem> of Florida,^[79] <#cite_note-79> is highly fragrant and traditionally associated with good fortune. It has long been popular in bridal bouquets and head wreaths. * Orange blossom essence is an important component in the making of perfume. * Orange blossom petals can also be made into a delicately citrus-scented version of rosewater </wiki/Rosewater>, known as "orange blossom water" or "orange flower water". It is a common ingredient in French and Middle Eastern cuisines, especially in desserts and baked goods. In some Middle Eastern countries, drops of orange flower water are added to disguise the unpleasant taste of hard water </wiki/Hard_water> drawn from wells or stored in /qullahs/ (traditional Egyptian water pitchers made of porous clay). In the United States, orange flower water is used to make orange blossom scones </wiki/Scone_(bread)#Americas> and marshmallows. * In Spain, fallen blossoms are dried and used to make tea. * Orange blossom honey </wiki/Monofloral_honey#Some_types_of_monofloral_honey> (or citrus honey) is obtained by putting beehives </wiki/Beehives> in the citrus groves while trees bloom. By this method, bees also pollinate </wiki/Pollination> seeded citrus varieties. This type of honey has an orangey taste and is highly prized. * Marmalade </wiki/Marmalade> usually is made with Seville oranges </wiki/Seville_orange>. All parts of the fruit are used: the pith and pips (separated and placed in a muslin bag) are boiled in a mixture of juice, slivered peel, sliced-up flesh, sugar, and water to extract their pectin, which helps the conserve to set. * Orange peel is used by gardeners as a slug repellent. * Orange leaves can be boiled to make tea. * Orangewood sticks are used as cuticle pushers in manicures and

pedicures, and as spudgers </wiki/Spudger> for manipulating slender electronic wires. * Orangewood is used in the same way as mesquite, oak, and hickory for seasoning grilled meat.

The word entered Late Middle English </wiki/Middle_English#Late_Middle_English> in the fourteenth century via Old French </wiki/Old_French> /orenge/ (in the phrase /pomme d'orenge/).^[80] <#cite_note-80> The French word, in turn, comes from Old Provenal </wiki/Old_Occitan> /auranja/, based on Arabic /nranj/.^[23] <#cite_note-Collins-23> In several languages, the initial /n/ present in earlier forms of the word dropped off because it may have been mistaken as part of an indefinite article ending in an /n/ soundin French, for example, /une norenge/ may have been heard as /une orenge/. This linguistic change is called juncture loss </wiki/Juncture_loss>. The colour </wiki/Orange_(colour)> was named after the fruit,^[81] <#cite_note-81> and the first documented use in this sense dates to 1542.^[/citation needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/] As Portuguese merchants were presumably the first to introduce the sweet orange in Europe, in several modern Indo-European languages </wiki/Indo-European_languages> the fruit has been named after them. Some examples are Albanian portokall <//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/portokall#Albanian>, Bulgarian <//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB#Bulga rian> (/portokal/), Greek <//en.wnay.g/w/%CF%80%CE%BF%CF%81%CF%84%CE%BF%CE%BA%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B9 #Gee> (/a/), Persian <//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%BE%D8%B1%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84#Persian> (/porteghal/), and Romanian portocal <//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/portocal%C4%83#Romanian>.^[82] <#cite_note-plantname-82> ^[83] <#cite_note-OstergrenBosse2011-83>
