John Kidwell is credited with the introduction of the pineapple industry to Hawaii; large-scale pineapple cultivation by US companies began in the early 1900s. Among the most famous and influential pineapple industrialists was James Dole, who moved to Hawaii in 1899 and started a pineapple plantation in 1900.
In pineapple, the introduced cystatin may have delayed nematode growth and reproduction rather than reducing fecundity. As transgenic options for nematode control are explored in pineapple, it will be important to assay sufficiently large numbers of plants from each line.he Hawaiian pineapple industry utilizes 16,000 acres, directly employs 1300 people and produces 315,000 tons of fruit. The future of the Hawaiian pineapple industry will depend on its ability to remain competitive in today's global market.
