Note: this study included a sample of 'Tangor King' considered to belong to Citrus nobilis; it was found to be a complex hybrid involving C. reticulata × C. sinensis and "with at least one mandarin alleles for each gene and MP heterozygosity inheritance for some genes"

PLoS One 8(3): e58411. Note: this study examined the genetic origin of a wild Chinese (Hunan) population of Citrus nobilis, a species considered to be a "natural tangor" (C. reticulata × C. sinensis); it found instead that this population shares similar volatile profile than those of pummelo and C. tachibana, therefore it was interpreted that "Mangshanyegan is ancient and not pure mandarin genetic background"
