The Asian citrus psyllid — a tiny brown winged insect — infects these trees with bacteria that essentially strangles the root system. They have devastated Florida's iconic citrus industry, slicing production by 90% since the early 2000s. At a lab in Lake Alfred, Lukasz Stelinski, an entomology researcher and professor for UF/IFAS, presents the latest in greening science: a genetically modified citrus tree. ----- #WUSF #entomology #Citrusgreening #citrusindustry #Florida #Floridacitrus #AsianCitr

PSA: A dangerous pest is putting citrus trees worldwide at risk! The Asian citrus psyllid is responsible for spreading Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease—a fatal infection with no cure. As of 2021, this disease led to a devastating 78% loss of Florida’s citrus crop. HLB prevents fruit from ripening properly, stunts tree growth, and ultimately kills citrus plants.
