Abstract
'Tambit No. 1' is a cultivar bred by crossing 'Prince' and 'Ponkan' at the Citrus Research Institute of the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science. The fruit is reddish in flesh color, high in sugar content, and rich in juice, which gives it a rich texture. While 'Tambit No. 1' has these excellent characteristics, it has the disadvantages of producing seeds in the fruit and toughness of the segment. In order to compensate for these shortcomings, a radiation mutagenesis breeding method capable of culling defective traits while maintaining similar fruit characteristics was mainly reviewed. For the mutagenesis of ‘Tambit No. 1’, the scion of ‘Tambit No. 1’ was collected and irradiated with 100 Gy of radiation. After that, grafting was performed three times for characterization and the characteristics of the fruit were tested. As a result of the fruit characterization test of the irradiated individuals, the 'Tambit 1 mutant line' was selected because there was a strain that did not produce seeds and the toughness of the segment was lower than that of the 'Tambit No. 1'.
