AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively increase the content of hesperidin in citrus peel, thus affecting the functional utilization of citrus and the breeding process.

Method used

By overexpressing the CsFLS1 gene, an overexpression vector was constructed and transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens to infect citrus fruits, thereby increasing the content of hesperidin in citrus peel.

Benefits of technology

It significantly increases the content of hesperidin in citrus peel, up to 1.41%, accelerating the breeding process, reducing the breeding workload, and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of citrus.
