Summary from article: The study compared certified Satsuma planting material from commercial orchards at Opuzen, Neretva Valley, Croatia, harvested at optimal maturity in autumn 2022. Kuno was one of four cultivars; trees were 8–10 years old and grafted on Poncirus trifoliata. Thirty fruits per cultivar were collected from different trees and analyzed in three groups. Table 6 reports 39.84 µg kg⁻¹ total aroma-volatile concentration for Kuno. This is an analytical volatile profile for the study lot, not a sensory-panel score or a measurement of UCR CRC 4030. The article does not identify a Kuno accession or clone. Online publication date 18 June 2024; issue date 19 July 2024.

Summary from article: A printed table listing varieties available from the Citrus Clonal Protection Program places Kuno Wase Satsuma in its “Seedless Varieties” column, defined as “seedless” with only an occasional seed regardless of planting location. This is a program-table classification, not a counted fruit sample or accession-specific test; no UCR CRC 4030 tree is identified. The article also discusses Satsuma seediness generally but does not report Kuno-specific seed counts.

Figure 2 depicts Kuno on a double-line selection path from Nagahashi; the figure legend identifies double-line selections as through nucellar seedlings. Nagahashi is shown on a single-line path from Owari. This historical cultivar-level diagram does not identify a modern UCR accession.

Summary from article: Dennis Peck’s article reproduces One Green World nursery copy describing Kuno Wase as early-ripening, bright orange, and easy to peel, and advertising cold hardiness to 25°F. These are reproduced nursery claims, not measurements or a documented exposure of a particular Kuno tree. The copy does not identify an accession, rootstock, growing site, exposure duration, measured minimum, or observed damage.
