Kino was developed by crossing two varieties of citrus fruit plants during 1930 and an American Agricultural Research Scientist Dr H.B.Frast played  leading role in the evolution of Kino plant. This experiment was carried out in the University of California at Riverside.   Afterward, in 1943 it was introduced in the College of Agriculture ( now the Agricultural University Faisalabad ). However, research is carried out to develop seedless fruit of Kino at National Agricultural Research Center (NARC), Islamabad in Horticultural Research Institute. If they succeeded in obtaining the seedless KIno , Pakistan can occupy the fruit market in many countries by exporting this fruit. .
