Morphological changes in cultivated citrus species.
Compared with wild citrus, the cultivars exhibit decreased fruit acidity, secondary metabolite levels (such as bitterness compounds), and tolerance to biotic or abiotic stresses but increased fruit production and taste, which mainly depends on the sugar/acid ratio. Asexual propagation, such as apomixis, is also popular among cultivated citrus species.
