University of Delaware researches gene editing solutions to combat citrus greening
Citrus greening is still a disease that is fiercely attacking the U.S. citrus industry’s bottom line. Spread by the invasive Asian citrus psyllid insect, the disease now affects every citrus growing region in the country, costing growers $975 million annually. Once infected, a citrus tree produces small, bitter fruit, helps spread the disease and then dies prematurely.
As the disease is an incredibly serious threat, scientists hope to fight back using gene editing. This technological solution can be applied in multiple ways for example, making citrus trees resistant to disease or reducing the viability of this invasive insect. While these technologies show promise, consumers will have to determine if the technologies are acceptable.

At the same time, she was a sophomore at Nicaragua’s National Autonomous University (UNAN), where she studied Political Science. “I began studying Political Science because I wanted to have the knowledge and resources to make change. Decisions are made in the political arena.”
During her time at the UNAN in Managua, Eliecib began noting the many privileges granted to those in the government-allied National Nicaraguan Students’ Union (UNEN). They received preferential treatment, simply because they belonged to a political grouping aligned with the Ortega regime. Daily, Gago had to confront a reality tinged with such favoritism and
