Abstract

Transgenic technologies offer many scientific advantages in breeding for improved horticultural crop quality and performance.
These proceedings describe multiple transgenic approaches to solving important agricultural constraints in horticultural crop production.
However, very few genetically engineered horticultural crops have been released to farmers, either in the United States or overseas.
This paper outlines some of the challenges in pursuing development of a transgenic crop beyond the laboratory research phase.
Three examples of public sector biotechnology research, product development and market access are presented: disease resistant papaya (USA/Japan), plums (USA/Europe) and cassava (USA/Africa). The experience of researchers and policymakers involved in these projects can guide future development of other transgenic horticultural varieties.
