Plant Pathology on NPR

Plant Virologist Dr. Jane Polston has been conducting research on the University of Florida's campus. She and her team have been developing a plant virus to serve as a delivery system for crop improvements such as drought and disease resistance. She was recently visited by Dan Charles of NPR who flew down from Washington D.C. to record a spot for NPR's Morning Edition and learn all about this process.
