Zoete grapefruit uit Nederland lijkt denkbaar CRISPR-Cas moet grapefruit milder maken. Want bitter schrikt af, zeker bij kinderen. De techniek kan de plant ook geschikt maken voor Noord-Europa.

Genetically modified citrus trees could help fight insect causing 'greening disease' #Science #Biology #Genetics #GeneticallyModifiedOrganisms #CitrusGreening #SustainableAgriculture

Genetically modified trees offer hope for the future of Florida's embattled citrus industry They have successfully killed the insect behind the greening disease in the lab, but the real test will come over the next three years to see if they survive in citrus groves.

"The Asian citrus psyllid — a tiny brown winged insect — infects these trees with bacteria that essentially strangles the root system. They have devastated Florida's iconic citrus industry, slicing production by 90% since the early 2000s."

Citrus greening, killing groves in Central and South Florida, found in North Florida • Florida Phoenix Citrus greening, a disease ravaging citrus groves in central and south Florida, has been detected for the first time in north Florida, according to agriculture researchers. A tree confirmed to be infected with the disease was discovered in late November in a Leon County homeowner’s backyard, according to the University of Florida Institute of Food […]

Discovery of the disease is a foreboding sign for people in north Florida and south Georgia trying to grow oranges clear of the infected groves to the south. #Florida #citrusgreening
