With trace of a Meyer parrents or it is a mix of meyer parrents with some trifoliata trace?

Too bad that we have to wait such a long time to see any results.

Meyer produces too much pollen. It is extremely difficult to prevent self-pollination. If you do not have triple leaflets, it is almost sure not hybrid.

I agree with you but as Millet said Meyer is a hybrid already so what you gonna get from a seed it is very "non-hybrid" or a hybrid of second generation

Although it is considered in one of citrus classification as a hybrid, it is quite stable, self pollinated seedlings are giving plants resembling Mayer, but somewhat of inferior quality.

Besides the original Medica, Pumello and Mandarine are all hybrids ...

First of all, you forgot to add papedas, austarlian specia, fortunella and poncirus.

Secondly, quoted suggestion is plausible, but not yet proved by strict sequence analysis.

Thirdly, first generation hybrids should be differentiated from hybrid populations that eventually are giving quite uniform characteristics, quite resembling "true" specie features.

I forgot nothing.

That is the result of the actual gen sequenzings now.

There are no first generation seedlings, for all citrus have been crossed each other many thousand times already ...

zing-zing
Not quite sure what are you talking about, it seems that you are mixing up a lot of things.
