Jul 17, 2021 · PRSV-resistant papaya is the most widely cultivated genetically engineered fruit, followed by Bt eggplant, virus-resistant squash, Arctic ® apples, and Pinkglow™ pineapple.
Jul 27, 2019 · This technique is called post transcriptional gene silencing and has been so successful in saving the papaya, that it is being looked at in other plants that are susceptible to deadly viruses. Without biotechnology, “There’s no papaya industry. Simple as that,” said Dennis Gonsalves, the scientist who developed the Rainbow Papaya.
May 13, 2022 · May 13, 2022. The transgenic papaya “SunUp” was developed in the 1990s and was widely publicized because of its ability to resist the papaya ringspot virus. Although researchers from the Ming group had identified the genomic sequence of SunUp by 2008, it was unclear where the transgenic insertions were and what effect they had.
Genetic engineering is a new technology, and ‘UH Rain bow’ and ‘UH SunUp’ papayas are the first genetically engineered fruits to be commercialized in the United States. But more will be seen in markets as new variet ies are approved. Is genetic engineering necessary? In some cases, yes.

Jan 1, 2008 · Papaya with resistance to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is the first genetically modified tree and fruit crop and also the first transgenic crop developed by a public institution that has been commercialized.
Jan 31, 2007 · This essay analyses development of the genetically modified papaya and its commercialisation in Hawaii as a response to a virulent plant disease, papaya ringspot virus. Results of a survey of Hawaiian papaya growers suggest that the unprecedentedly rapid adoption of GM papaya is due to this technology's having addressed many of these key ...
