Psyllid Cysteine Cathepsins Directly Cleave the Outer Membrane Protein BamD of Citrus Huanglongbing Pathogen

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causative agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), is transmitted by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri; however, the role of the insect's immune effectors in defending against CLas remains poorly understood. This study reveals that D.

Confirmation of the Sequence of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ and Assessment of Microbial Diversity in Huanglongbing-Infected Citrus Phloem Using a Metagenomic Approach

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
The citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) is highly destructive in many citrus-growing regions of the world. The putative causal agent of this disease, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, is difficult to culture, and Koch's postulates have not yet been ...

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Effector SDE4250 Targets Citrus Proteasome Protein RPN10 to Inhibit Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Citrus Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
SDE4250 suppressed 26S proteasome activity by targeting CsRPN10 and enhancing its degradation via the proteasome pathway. This impairment of proteasome function subsequently attenuates SA‐mediated defence responses, thereby increasing citrus susceptibility to promote CLas infection.

‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’ Effector SECP8 Subverts Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Citrus Immunity via a Two‐Pronged Impairment of CsTCP15 Dimerization

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2335-2349, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease caused by the unculturable bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), poses a severe threat to global citrus production. CLas secretes effectors to suppress host immune responses and facilitate its colonisation. Previously, the CLas effector SECP8 (CLIBASIA_05330) has been identified
