Soil Culture Solutions, a Florida biotech company, is awaiting USDA approval for their genetically engineered rootstock designed to grow citrus trees resistant to citrus greening disease. Using CRISPR technology, Soilcea has developed a rootstock that can alter plant genes to combat diseases, potentially saving Florida's citrus industry and preventing the spread of the disease to other states. If approved by APHIS, this innovative solution could provide a sustainable and effective method for addressing the threat to citrus crops posed by citrus greening disease.
