Hi,
Below is the abstract of a study done in my city by the univercity.
Here is the full report but only the abstract is in English but you can check the charts, rootstock names are common.
As a referrence for the charts, here are the translations of rootstocks;
Yerli turunc = Sour Orange
Brezilya Turuncu = Brazilian sour orange
Beneke uc yaprakli = Beneke Trifoliata
Other rootstock names are clear I think.

The Effects of Some Citrus Rootstocks on Fruit Productivity of Some Important Orange,
Grapefruit, Lemon and Mandarin Cultivars in Çukurova Region
Abstract: This study was carried out under Çukurova (East Mediterranean region) conditions in order to determine the most definite
effects of Common sour orange, Brasilian sour orange, Yuzu, Troyer and Carizzo citranges, Beneke trifoliate orange, Cleopatra
mandarin, Volkameriana, Taiwanica, Rough lemon, Citrumelo 1452 rootstocks on the fruit yield of the Washington Navel, Valencia
Late, Moro Blood and Shamouti oranges; Marsh Seedless and Redblush grapefruits; Kütdiken and Italyan Memeli lemons and Satsuma
mandarin cultivars during 1993-1995.
Sour orange showed medium performance on the productivities of orange cultivars. Carrizo citrange and Citrumelo 1452 for Washington
Navel; Citrumelo 1452, Carrizo and Troyer citranges for Valencia; Troyer citrange for Moro Blood and Carizzo citrange for
Shamouti were observed to be the most promising rootstocks. Carrizo citrange affected positively on the yield of Marsh Seedless
and Redblush grapefruit cultivars. In addition, the effects of Common sour orange showed quite well performances on both of the
grapefruit cultivars. Since the negative effects of Beneke trifoliate orange and Volkameriana had been seen on the grapefruits, these
rootstocks should not be recommended in Çukurova region. Kütdiken lemon on Cleopatra mandarin and Italyan Memeli on Taiwanica
were found to be most performant trees. Also, it could be considered that, both Yuzu and Common sour orange were found as
promising rootstocks. For lemon cutivars, poor performances were obtained from the citranges when compared with the other
rootstocks. Carrizo citrange, Citrumelo 1452 and Yuzu were found to be most important rootstocks as far as the yield of Satsuma
mandarin is considered. It could be suggested that, these rootstocks should be used for Satsuma in Çukurova region instead of
Common sour orange.
As a general result, Carrizo citrange could be recommended to the growers of Çukurova region due to its positive effectsb on all varieties
except lemons, if the cultivar differences are not taken into consideration.
