Licensing for genetically engineered banana with resistance to banana bunchy top virus

http://hawaii.eagle-i.net/i/00000130-2980-8986-cec9-714480000000

Resource Description

"Researchers have developed transgenic banana of the cultivar Dwarf Brazilian that have been engineered to contain altered transgene sequences from the genome of Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV). These transgenic banana plants are resistant to infection by BBTV and do not develop symptoms of banana bunchy top disease after exposure to BBTV. These plants are being propagated in tissue culture and will be screened for desirable horitcultural traits and further evaluated for BBTV resistance under field conditions."
