Collaborative exploration for citrus genetic resources was conducted in Jeju special selfprovince and Jeonnam-province of South Korea from November 22 to 27, 2007 in concert with the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture(NISA), Korea. During the exploration, 25 samples of over-100-year-old trees of 5 native citrus varieties were surveyed. Surveyed 5 varieties have some characters not shared by Japanese citrus genebank collections. Diversity of citrus genetic resources in South Korea was confirmed and the significance of South Korea as the exploration region of citrus germplasm was recognized.
