Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by gamma irradiation of the fertile and self-compatible «Murcott» variety, which is likely a tangor. The plant is characterized as pollen-sterile and forms seedless fruits.

The fruits are being investigated as a promising source of nutraceuticals. Comparative juice analyses showed a high sucrose content with relatively low vitamin C levels. The variety is used in breeding programs to select characteristics related to seedlessness, juice quality, and ease of peeling.
