Conclusion






To summarize, our citrus cultivar develop- ment team has developed a collaborative and comprehensive approach to maximize efforts and opportunities for development of the genetically improved new rootstock and scion cultivars required for the future viability of our citrus industry, by maximiz- ing the synergistic interactions of expertise and interests we possess as individual team members. Furthermore, by organizing activ- ities into generalized and specific flow


 

charts, with annotation to describe the essential components and outcomes from each step, we have assisted growers, fund- ing agencies, research administrators and other interested parties in understanding how the various approaches to genetic improvement fi t together. This, in turn, aids such parties in determining where addi- tional investments into the research pro- gramme are needed and best placed for maximum benefi t to the industry, through the outcome of newly released and superior cultivars.

This comprehensive programme is truly a partnership in both the narrow and the broad sense. It is a partnership fi rst and foremost among the team participants, as well as the related experts who become a part of the process, through collaboration and sharing of expertise. On a broader level, it clearly represents a partnership of the research community with the industry. The industry supports the research programme not only by grants through the Florida Citrus Production Research Advisory Council (FCPRAC), but also through inter- action and direct participation in the research efforts by providing land, grove care expenses, and labour for dozens of fi eld trials, plantings and evaluations that take place. This involvement is a critical and essential downstream component of the comprehensive programme. All of the upstream research activities have no value whatsoever to the industry without this vital partnership in the fi nal stages. The industry–research community interface provides a valuable feedback mechanism, serving to focus the upstream research efforts in appropriate directions, and bring- ing important new developments and opportunities arising from the genetic research to the attention of the industry’s leaders and innovators, as well.

The team recognizes that this pro- gramme represents a complex and long- term process. It includes not only our experiments to create, select and validate genetically improved plant material but also the experiments that require industry cooperation and collaboration to assess the


 


 

value and utility of the plant material in the orchard. However, the fi nal stage of the process is seen once new cultivars are released, and they fi nd their way into com- mercial production and the marketing of


 

products to consumers. It is at that point that the benefi t of many years of research, and the involvement of many different par- ticipants in the process, may be seen and judged.
