Researchers in Florida are a step closer to finding a possible cure for citrus canker. Citrus canker is a highly contagious plant disease and spreads rapidly by wind, rain, and irrigation.
Scientists at the Institute of Food and Ag Sciences at the University of Florida have identified a gene that makes citrus trees susceptible to the bacterial pathogen.
In Florida, the last extensive canker outbreak was in 1995, which cost the state’s citrus industry more than a billion dollars.
