Transgenic Citrus

  • Chapter
Transgenic Trees

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 44))

Abstract

Citrus is the largest fruit crop in the world, with a total production of 85 million tons in the season 1994/1995 (FAO 1995). They are grown in tropical and subtropical regions with a wide variety of soil and climatic conditions. They are subjected to important abiotic stresses, such as acid, alkaline, and salty soils, flooding and drought, freezing and high temperatures. In addition, they are affected by many pests and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, spiroplasmas, phytoplasmas, virus, viroids, and virus-like pathogens.
