I have managed to obtain and germinate FA-5 seeds since then, but I'm still looking for novel rootstocks adapted to calcareous soils.

Volkamer lemon can be an option, however, plants grafted on this rootstock produce fruit of poorer quality.

Thanks for the interest dpereira.

I believe that they're doing something similar at the University of Florida to analyze new citrus hybrids and they're calling it the 'rapid evaluation system'.

A plant nursery in Spain appears to be selling seedlings of FA-5.

Thanks dpereira.

I know that Lyn Citrus Seed supplies rootstock seeds and C-57 is available.

http://lyncitrusseed.com/rootstock-seed/

The minimum number of seeds supplied is 1000 which is a bit too much for me.

Would be interesting to know if there are any other similar companies which supply seeds of any of the rootstock varieties I mentioned above.

Yes, it looks like it. US-942 is tolerant to calcareous soils and has a good disease resistance profile, while still producing high quality fruit.
