Podcasts about citrus greening

Windermere and the Orlando area is home to a lot more than just tourism, Disney World and Tiger Wood's house. As urban sprawl becomes a bigger issue, land values skyrocket, and citrus greening disease continues to fester... what does the future of the Florida orange industry look like? Michelle sits down with one of her favorite Florida citrus growers, Glenn Beck, to find out.

Organic citrus growers and packers recognize the threat of the Asian citrus psyllid to their business and livelihood, and new research from USDA finds that in 2022, 12.8% of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during the year.

California citrus growers remain vigilant after agricultural officials confirmed one region's first finding of an insect carrying citrus greening disease, and August U.S. pork exports were steady compared to last year and led by another tremendous performance in Mexico.

In today's episode I cover two topics with Cameron English, science journalist and podcast host.  We discuss the current status of citrus greening disease in the USA, a disease that has ravaged the Florida juice industry. We also discuss the copious disinformation around seed oils, which many internet sources claim to be dangerous. 

Researchers in California look for citrus greening disease, and for the first time the Census of Agriculture will collect data from hemp farmers.

University of Florida faculty secure over $16 million for Citrus Greening research, and China considers easing COVID restrictions.

One week from Title 42 being suspended, and an invasion of migrants threatens to overwhelm US border officials. Florida District 3 Rep. Kat Cammack makes the case for needing to secure the border. The Biden Administration has no solution to control the influx of migrants through the Mexico border. Meanwhile, baby formula is available for migrants crossing the border as there are shortages across the US. Biden's FDA shutdown an Abbott formula manufacturing plant, putting American's last with no plan to bring in replacement supplies. US troops are being sent to Somolia, with defense officials promising not to engage in fighting. Cammack decries the use of forces in places with no critical threat to the US. The EPA is holding up approving a Citrus Greening solution, claiming a lack of funds to review the latest proposed and promising treatment. Saving Florida's citrus industry is a high priority for all of the state's bipartisan representatives in Congress, and Kammack is one of Florida's leading agriculture proponents. Cammack serves as the leading Republican for FEMA, and is working on meaningful hurricane season mitigation efforts to be sure local and state emergency management officials have needed resources.

Three Stories: NASA launches their 9th rover to Mars to collect soil and rock samples in search of fossils or signs of past life. The ultimate goal is to bring these samples back to Earth analyze them. This is the third launch for Mars this month, with China and United Arab Emirates also launching missions to Mars as well. Eastern Tropical Pacific reefs demonstrate resiliency to warming temperatures. A 44-year long study showcases no change in coral reef abundance between Baja California and the Galapagos Islands. The reason why? These corals grow quickly and are symbiotic with heat tolerant algae. The findings on these Eastern Pacific reefs may help inform the future for coral reef survival in other parts of the world. A huge breakthrough in the fight against “Citrus Greening,” a disease that is wiping out citrus trees all around the world, has just occurred. California researchers have identified a gene in an exotic Australian citrus fruit, called a fingerlime, that produces a peptide that acts like a natural antibiotic in the tree that makes it resistant to citrus greening. This natural antibiotic is now being synthesized in the lab to be sprayed on the citrus trees to help stop the negative impacts of this devastating disease. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02257-w?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_campaign=2a2293db4f-briefing-dy-20200730&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-2a2293db4f-44498949 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200723143637.htm https://www.npr.org/2020/07/27/895775625/exotic-australian-fruit-may-help-save-floridas-citrus-industry

Graciela Lorca studies genetic systems to find positive and negative microbial interactions that lead to disease. She talks about her discovery of chemical inhibitors for the citrus greening disease bacterium, Liberibacter asiaticus,and how a specific strain of Lactobacillus johnsoniimodulates the immune system and may help prevent development of diabetes in people. Subscribe (free) on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Android, RSS, or by email. Also available on the ASM Podcast Network app. Julie’s Biggest Takeaways Citrus greening disease, or huanglongbing, is a disease of citrus trees causing a major epidemic among citrus farmers around the world. The disease causes trees to sicken and eventually die, and is best diagnosed by PCR amplification of the bacterial DNA from the bacterium that causes the disease, Liberibacter asiaticus. Because the disease spreads through the tree at different rates, it’s important that many samples be tested for accurate diagnosis. Quarantining the disease has proved difficult, as undiagnosed roots can transmit the disease if they are used to hybridize with canopy plants. The disease becomes even harder to contain under bad weather conditions: the high winds of recent hurricanes can scatter the insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid, leading to infection of new orchards. Although L. asiaticuscan’t be cultured, Graciela performed a screen on L. asiaticustranscription factors that were produced by E. coli. These were tested for inhibition by a chemical library, and discovered that a common treatment for gout, benzbromarone, inhibited protein activity. This discovery was confirmed using in vivoinfected plants and by expressing the gene in related bacterial species, Graciela and her team predict the protein plays a role in responding to osmotic stress. The protein target of the chemical differs widely between citrus greening disease and gout, but the protein-chemical interaction is similar enough to allow protein inhibition. Is there a link between the microbiome and diabetes? 10 years ago, Lactobacillus johnsoniican rescue animals that are predisposed to diabetes. L. johnsoniiinactivates a host enzyme, IDO, which regulates proinflammatory responses. Activated immune cells can travel to the pancreas and attack beta cells, leading to diabetes. Regulating the proinflammatory response by administering L. johnsoniias probiotics offers the opportunity to control development of diabetes in predisposed people.   Links for This Episode MTM Listener Survey, only takes 3 minutes.

What makes breakfast, breakfast? Well, according to every movie and TV show we've ever seen, a big glass of orange juice is basically required. But our morning grapefruit might be in danger. Why? Citrus greening, a bacteria carried by a bug, has infected 90% of the citrus groves in Florida. It's coming for your OJ. We'll talk with University of Maryland plant virologist Anne Simon about ways to stop the citrus killer, and with science writer and journalist Maryn McKenna about why throwing antibiotics at the problem is probably not the solution.

Trees Are Key Let’s discuss “Keys to Citrus Greening.” One of the amazing things about Texas is the variety of trees that can grow across our amazingly diverse landscape. Unfortunately, during this our #ForestHealth month, we’ve highlighted one challenge to our citrus industry in “Cankers Are Key” and this week we will focus on another challenge to our citrus trees. Citrus greening has been confirmed in several locations across the gulf coast, coastal bend and south Texas. Species Spotlight The Texas Persimmon Diospyros texana is also known as Chapote or Mexican Persimmon and is a semi-evergreen Texas native. Usually found on Rocky and dry sites in Central and South Texas, west to Brewster county, the Texas Persimmon requires well-drained soils. The species has gained favor as a landscape tree from Austin to Houston.

The destruction of crops, billions of dollars in damages, and no hope in sight. It’s a good thing this is just a movie, set in the far future.  We should have plenty of time to ensure it won’t happen to us. Should being the operative word if we lived in a perfect world. But it’s not a perfect world. While the futuristic blight in Interstellar is fictional, we have already been facing our own blight in the United States for almost ten years. This is the story of Citrus Greening, which has been rocking the citrus (i.e. oranges, lemons, etc…) industry for nearly a decade

Annie Kruse discusses her disdain for citrus greening disease, an epidemic that continues to devastate the American citrus industry. You'll hear how Annie and her colleagues in BTI's Heck lab are taking the fight to the psyllid in hopes of understanding how the brutal disease is transmitted. We also touch upon Annie's passion for motivating underrepresented youth to pursue STEM degrees/careers.
