Mandarin production has increased in recent years, especially for fresh consumption, due to its ease of peeling, its aroma, and its content of bioactive compounds. In this sense, aromas play a fundamental role in the sensory quality of this fruit. The selection of the appropriate rootstock is crucial for the success of the crop and its quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the influence of 9 rootstocks ("Carrizo citrange", "Swingle citrumelo CPB 4475", "Macrophylla", "Volkameriana", "Forner-Alcaide 5", "Forner-Alcaide V17", "C-35", "Forner-Alcaide 418", and "Forner-Alcaide 517") on the volatile composition of "Clemenules" mandarin. For this, the volatile compounds of mandarin juice were measured using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction in a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Seventy-one volatile compounds were identified in the analyzed samples, with limonene being the main compound. The results obtained showed that the rootstock used in the cultivation of mandarins affects the volatile content of the juice, with "Carrizo citrange", "Forner-Alcaide 5", "Forner-Alcaide 418", and "Forner-Alcaide 517" being those that presented the highest concentration.

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are known to activate immune signaling in plants; however, their effectiveness can vary depending on the genotype and the signaling pathway involved. In this study, we evaluated the transcriptional response of four citrus rootstocks (Carrizo citrange, Forner-Alcaide 5 (FA5), Forner-Alcaide 74 (FA74), and ) to six synthetic HIPVs [(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate, (Z)-3-hexenyl propanoate, methyl jasmonate, and methyl salicylate]. We focused on genes associated with the salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) pathways, as well as the susceptibility gene CsPUB21.

Bacterial diseases like huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus canker severely impact citrus production. HLB, caused by "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), leads to tree decline, while citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xcc) causes necrotic lesions on leaves and fruit.

Drought is a problematic abiotic stress affecting citrus crops in the Mediterranean basin and the rootstock plays a fundamental role in adopting adaptive mechanisms in response to water deficit. The aim of this study is to evaluate the response of eight rootstocks under three treatments imposed: control (100% of reference evapotranspiration, Et), 66% Et and 50% Et. The rootstock genotypes studied were C35 citrange, Bitters, Carpenter and Furr which have been recently spread and so far, little investigated, while others have been widely used especially in the Mediterranean citrus industry, i.
