James W. Cameron
James W. Cameron (23 April 1913 – 12 January 2010)[1] was an emeritus professor of horticultural science, a geneticist and citrus breeder in the University of California Citrus Experiment Station.
Breeding
Oroblanco is a very popular grapefruit variety, praised for its sweetness. Was developed by James W. Cameron together with Robert K. Soost.
Together with Robert Soost he developed the Oroblanco[2] and Melogold grapefruits, and the encore and pixie[3] mandarins,[4] which turned out to be of major importance.[5] By 1954, he had developed 484 hybrid citrus seedlings, most of them resistant against nematodes, together with Richard C. Baines.[6]
Cameron was a co-author on volume II of The Citrus Industry.[7]
