The document discusses innovations in citrus cultivation and biotechnology in the post-genomic era. The main goals are the generation of new citrus varieties through hybridization and biotechnological applications. Specifically, it aims to implement genomic selection in breeding, make genomic information freely available, and develop variety authentication protocols. This will result in 6000 new citrus lines, availability of citrus genomes with 40,000 genes and millions of variants, and lineage and kinship identification. Estimated results include marketing new varieties, publishing marker and authentication protocols to combat illegal plantings and nurseries, and help with breeders disputes, theft, and varietal demand planning.
