Zn<sup>2+</sup>- and Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent nucleases exhibit activity toward dsDNA in the four classes of cation-dependent nucleases in plants. Programmed cell death (PCD) is involved in the degradation of cells during schizolysigenous secretory cavity formation in <i>Citrus</i> fruits. Recently, the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent DNase CgCAN was proven to play a key role in nuclear DNA degradation during the PCD of secretory cavity formation in <i>Citrus grandis</i> ‘Tomentosa’ fruits. However, whether Zn<sup>2+</sup>-dependent nuclease plays a role in the PCD of secretory cells remains poorly understood. Here, we identified a Zn<sup>2+</sup>-dependent nuclease gene, <i>CgENDO1</i>, from <i>Citrus</i> <i>grandis</i> ‘Tomentosa’, the function of which was studied using Zn<sup>2+</sup> ions cytochemical localization, DNase activity assays, in situ hybridization, and protein immunolocalization. The full-length cDNA of <i>CgENDO1</i> contains an open reading frame of 906 bp that encodes a protein 301 amino acids in length with a S1/P1-like functional domain.
