Press Release: Microneedles to Help Overcome a Major Citrus Crop Disease

Across the world, citrus trees infected with Huanglongbing disease are producing fruit that are lopsided, bitter, hard, and green when ripe, instead of juicy and fresh. The citrus industry in Florida has collapsed due to this disease, going from having a turnover of $9 billion to merely $3.28 billion as of 2018. And more plants are becoming infected every day.
