Developing epidemiological preparedness for a plant disease invasion: Modelling citrus huánglóngbìng in the European Union

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1403-1423, September 2025.
Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although citrus production in the Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing a mathematical model of spread in Spain, we tested surveillance and control strategies before any future HLB entry in the EU.

Controlled replication of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus‘ DNA in citrus leaf discs

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ is a fastidious bacterium and a putative agent of citrus greening disease (a.k.a., huanglongbing, HLB), a significant agricultural disease that affects citrus fruit quality and tree health. In citrus, ‘Ca.

Differential water and imidacloprid transport under unsaturated Florida citrus field conditions

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Citrus production in Florida declined in the past 20 years by >72% due to citrus greening disease which is vectored by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Extensive use of pesticides such as imidacloprid (IDP) to manage ACP raises concerns of environmental pollution to shallow groundwater in citrus orchards dominated by sandy soils.

Beyond defense: microbial modifications of plant specialized metabolites alter and expand their ecological functions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 518-526, July 2025.
Summary Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) are compounds that are not involved in primary metabolism but instead confer other roles for the plant host, often related to ecological interactions. In the field of plant–microbe interactions, many PSMs have traditionally been considered for their roles in shaping interactions with pathogens.

The transcriptional activator LdtR from 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' mediates osmotic stress tolerance.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
The causal agent of Huanglongbing disease, 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', is a non-culturable, gram negative, phloem-limited α-proteobacterium. Current methods to control the spread of this disease are still limited to the removal and destruction ...

Mother knows worst? Fungal infection enhances corn flavonoid of wogonin to inhibit Conogethes punctiferalis larval growth

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 2254-2265, June 2025.
Schematic representation of Trichoderma asperellum infection affects the flavonoid content in corn and influences the gut microbiota and juvenile hormone pathway of Conogethes punctiferalis larvae leading to growth inhibition. Summary Pathogen infection in host plants can alter the attraction and adaptability of herbivorous insects.

De novo assembly and functional annotation of Citrus aurantifolia transcriptome from Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus infected and non-infected trees

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia) belongs to the Rutaceae family and nowadays is one of the major commercial citrus crops in different countries. In Mexico, Mexican lime production is impaired by Huanglongbing (HLB) disease associated to Candidatus ...

Unlocking agro‐ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom‐up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 465-484, May 2025.
Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Mutations in the SWEET15 Sugar Transporter Gene Affect Response of Citrus to Huanglongbing Disease and Citrus Canker

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Assays of knockouts in several SWEET genes show that SWEET15 mutations reduce levels of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri and “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” in infected citrus plants, suggesting that SWEET15 is a susceptibility gene. ABSTRACT Bacterial diseases like huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus canker severely impact citrus production. HLB, caused by “

SEC-translocon dependent extracytoplasmic proteins of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide. HLB is associated with three species of the phloem-limited, gram-negative, fastidious α-proteobacteria: Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), Ca. L. americanus (Lam), and Ca.
