PowerPoint
An extensive collection of PowerPoint slides, covering a diverse array of topics, is available for use by growers and researchers for general outreach use.
The topics include descriptions of genetic engineering of plants and insects and how these might be used to address HLB, nonengineering approaches, regulatory issues, consumer attitudes, labeling efforts and trade issues.
The PowerPoint file is available as one file, as well as broken out into sections, listed below. These files will be updated regularly.
