| comparative development and impact of transgenic papayas in hawaii, jamaica, and venezuela. | we present data concerning the creation of transgenic papayas resistant to papaya ringspot virus (prsv) and their adoption by three different countries: the united states (e.g., hawaii), jamaica, and venezuela. although the three sets of transgenic papayas showed effective resistance to prsv, the adoption rate in each country has varied from full utilization in hawaii to aggressive testing but delay in deregulating of the product in jamaica to rejection at an early stage in venezuela. factors th ... | 2005 | 15310936 |
| development of genetically engineered resistant papaya for papaya ringspot virus in a timely manner: a comprehensive and successful approach. | papaya orchards throughout most of the world are severely damaged by the destructive disease caused by the papaya ringspot virus (prsv). prsv-resistant papaya expressing the coat protein gene (cp) of prsv have been used in hawaii to control prsv since 1998. this chapter presents the experimental steps involved in the development of transgenic papaya, including transgene construction, transformation, and analysis for virus resistance of the transformed papaya. we also describe the important facto ... | 2007 | 17172756 |
