James W. Cameron


James W. Cameron was an emeritus professor of horticultural science, a geneticist and citrus breeder in the University of California [Citrus Experiment Station].

Breeding

Together with Robert Soost he developed the Oroblanco and Melogold grapefruits, and the encore and pixie mandarins, which turned out to be of major importance. By 1954, he had developed 484 hybrid citrus seedlings, most of them resistant against nematodes, together with Richard C. Baines.
Cameron was a co-author on volume II of The Citrus Industry.
