Narrative

According to RF Lee, these seeds were harvested from a single fruit from a transgenic tree maintained at the University of Florida Citrus Research and Extension Center, Lake Alfred, FL. The tree was one of a number of produced by RFL and M Keramene in the early 1990s. The trees were challenged and some were apparently resistant to CTV. The tree that produced the seeds was one of the apparently CTV-resistant trees, and RFL states that the seedlings should also have this trait. RFL stated that this line was referred to as 'Berger' as it was maintained by Neil Berger of the CREC staff. (RR Krueger, 09/29/2004)
