👉 Lemon engineering refers to the application of genetic modification and biotechnology techniques to enhance the desirable traits of lemons, such as improved flavor, increased resistance to diseases and pests, extended shelf life, or enhanced nutritional content. By identifying and manipulating specific genes responsible for these traits, scientists can introduce or modify genetic sequences in lemon plants to achieve these improvements. For example, genes that confer resistance to common lemon diseases like citrus greening can be introduced, or genes that boost the production of beneficial compounds like vitamin C. This innovative approach not only aims to make lemons more resilient and productive but also to improve their appeal and sustainability in agriculture.
