Opportunities and challenges for specialty crops: Will they sell if developed?
(NABC, 2013)The topic of this conference, biotechnology and horticultural crops, is about the ability of producers to make a profit, and how future agriculture, globally, will include specialty crops. Although we cannot accurately ... -
Orange juice: Will it be available to drink in the future (agriculturally or commercially)?
(NABC, 2013)Citrus greening is an insect-vectored bacterial disease first detected in Florida in 2005. The National Academy of Sciences identified citrus greening as the most serious disease challenge they had ever reviewed. The insect ... -
OVERVIEW: Biotechnology and North American specialty crops: Linking research, regulation, and stakeholders
(NABC, 2013)Detailed conference overview -
Potential concerns of different stakeholders to genetically engineered specialty crops
(NABC, 2013)We need strong, but not stifling, regulation to reassure consumers—“appropriate regulation.” It can be streamlined by using preexisting data. The primary emphasis should be on issues that pose the greatest potential risk ... -

Reflections on the past, present and future of USDA’s regulation of agricultural biotechnology
(NABC, 2013)View of the history, present situation and expectations for the future of regulation of GMOs. -
Regulation of plant-incorporated protectants by the us environmental protection agency
(NABC, 2013)Consultations with the EPA before applying for deregulation of a GMO can be very informal and will be treated as confidential. It is advisable to have consultations early on because they may lead to beneficial alterations, ... -
Specialty crops and human health impacts
(NABC, 2013)Scientists from seven universities on the North Carolina Research Campus are focused on specialty crops that provide bioactive compounds, which interface with human therapeutic targets to counteract chronic disease or ... -

Technology evolution in vegetables
(NABC, 2013)Ag Biologicals are widely used in vegetable crops. They are particularly advantageous when used in protected culture, i.e. within net houses, plastic houses, or glass houses, in which finer environmental control is possible, ... -
The Canadian regulatory process for plants with novel traits
(NABC, 2013)Canada’s regulations are product-based, not process-based. We have authority within the regulations for departments to approve products derived from biotechnology after the completion of the required safety reviews, and—once ... -
The “stacked” pipeline of biotech specialty crops and regulatory/market barriers to coexistence
(NABC, 2013)Biotech specialty crops face a number of potential barriers. Regulatory uncertainty over new plant-breeding methods and costly overseas approvals could complicate plans for commercialization. Stacking a generic crop aids ... -
Transforming modern agriculture through synthetic genomics
(NABC, 2013)There is cutting-edge science underway and it is applied within Synthetic Genomics, not specifically on specialty crops as defined, but on low-acreage or potential crops of the future. Many of these concepts will apply to ... -
Transgenic papaya story: still a public-sector anomaly?
(NABC, 2013)Papaya is the cheapest, most nutritious fruit in Hawaii. When papaya in Hawaii was threatened by the PRS virus. Efforts were made to save the crop, but all conventional methods failed, threatening a major basic food source ...
