Lise: a thornless Mexican lime variety with high-quality fruits. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2025, vol.16, n.4, e3157.  Epub 30-Sep-2025.

In order to increase the genetic base of the Mexican lime [Citrus aurantifolia (Christem) Swingle], in 1984, the Tecomán Experimental Field of the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research in Colima, Mexico, began a program of collection and evaluation of natural variants of this crop. The Lise variety is the result of two cycles of clonal selection through agronomic and fruit quality evaluations. It is characterized by the branches of its trees not developing thorns or rarely doing so. In addition, it presents morphological changes in leaves and flowers. At harvest, the fruit is dark green and is practically free of physical damage, which improves its aesthetic quality and consequently, up to 70% of the fruit is selected for fresh marketing. The size of the fruit and its chemical characteristics are like the Colimex variety, with the advantage that Lise shows better postharvest behavior. It is a good option for quality producers. It has registration number LIM-003-230708 in the National Catalog of Plant Varieties of the National Seed Inspection and Certification Service. The Tecomán Experimental Field of the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural, and Livestock Research has a lot that produces certified buds for marketing. This publication aims to present information on the origin, agronomic characteristics, and physical and chemical quality characteristics of the Lise variety.
