Background and development
'Tsunonozomi' was developed as part of Japan's National Citrus Breeding Program, which is conducted at the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science (NIFTS) at their Kuchinotsu Citrus Research Station and Okitsu Citrus Research Station.[6] The entities operate as part of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO). The process was initiated in 1974. 'Tsunonozomi' was first selected in 1985 and underwent extensive evaluation in Japan's 9th citrus selection national trial starting from 2001, involving 31 experimental stations across the country. This process culminated in its formal authorization and naming as Mikan Norm No. 18 'Tsunonozomi' in March 2012. Prior to this, it was designated Kankitsu Kuchinotsu No.37 and was officially registered under Japan's Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act in May 2011.[3]
