Citrus Varieties

Chip helps growers with citrus varieties. Researchers have designed a computer chiphat can improve citrus varieties and suggest ways to better manage them. By helping determine which genes are turned on in a tissue of citrus -- genes that are associated with taste, acidic content and disease, for example, the chip provides information useful to researchers for rectifying existing problems and making improvements to the fruit.
