Abstract

In the early 1990s an outbreak of papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) in the papaya groves in the Puna district of Hawaii caused severe damage to an important crop. Since then, the planting of two transgenic cultivars resistant to the virus — called 'SunUp' and 'Rainbow' — has helped to maintain yields. Su...
