Recently, for example, scientists at the Citrus Institute developed a monoclonal antibody to detect tristeza, a lethal virus that threatens to devastate the Caribbean citrus industry.

But when the Atlanta soft-drink maker introduced these and other flavors in its new line of Minute Maid Fruitopia drinks last summer, thirsty consumers could not get enough of the noncarbonated, fruit- based beverages. With catchy advertising and Coke's distribution muscle behind it, Fruitopia has wasted no time grabbing a sizable share of the Snapple-led fruit-drink market, like a parched softball player after a hot game...
