Citrus is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, with more than 130 million tons produced in 2017. Mandarins represent 25% of this production (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2018) and are mainly destined for fresh consumption. The Mediterranean area is the most important region for mandarin exports, with 60% of the total volume, and Spain is the leading country. The fresh market demands high-quality, seedless fruit that can be harvested throughout the marketing season. Therefore, mandarin breeding programs worldwide are mainly aimed at obtaining new, seedless, easy-peeling varieties with an attractive fruit color and flavor, and with high organoleptic characteristics (Grosser et al., 2010; Navarro et al., 2015; Rapisarda et al., 2008).
