Scientists at the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred, Florida found ‘Sugar Belle’ mandarin (shown here) is high in several volatiles and beneficial compounds – known as phenolics. These findings could tell scientists why ‘Sugar Belle’ mandarin is more tolerant to Huanglongbing, or HLB, also known as citrus greening.
