Prophage-Encoded Peroxidase in ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Is a Secreted Effector That Suppresses Plant Defenses

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ is transmitted by psyllids and causes huanglongbing (HLB), a lethal disease of citrus. Most pathogenic ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ strains carry two nearly identical prophages similar to SC1 and SC2 in strain UF506.

A Bacterial Effector Hijacks NBR1 to Modulate Both Autophagy and Ubiquitination‐Mediated Degradation That Promotes Bacterial Infection

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2492-2509, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Autophagy and the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system (UPS) play critical roles in the immune defence of the host against pathogen invasion. As a countermeasure, pathogens deploy effector proteins to subvert or hijack autophagy and UPS processes.

Synthetic blends of volatile, phytopathogen-induced odorants can be used to manipulate vector behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from all plants and these VOCs are important means of communication between plants and insects. It has been documented that pathogen infections alter VOC profiles rendering infected plants more attractive to ...

Soil beneficial bacteria: Harnessing tools for optimizing citrus growth and soil health in pH‐stressed soils

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Rhizosphere bacteria can support crop production by promoting plant health, soil fertility, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the potential role of soil‐beneficial bacteria, particularly plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), remains inadequately explored in citrus production grown on pH‐stressed soil.

Unique features of a Japanese 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' strain revealed by whole genome sequencing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Citrus greening (huanglongbing) is the most destructive disease of citrus worldwide. It is spread by citrus psyllids and is associated with phloem-limited bacteria of three species of α-Proteobacteria, namely, 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', 'Ca. L.

Risk Evaluation and Molecular Characterisation of AtNPR1 Transgenic Citrus Lines Tolerant to Citrus Greening Disease

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1223-1233, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has caused devastating losses to citrus production in Florida, with yields declining by over 90% since 2005. Despite extensive efforts, no sustainable solution has been widely effective. Here, transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange lines engineered to constitutively express the Arabidopsis NPR1 ...

High‐efficiency genome‐editing, transgene evaluation, and antimicrobial efficacy testing using Citrus medica L. hairy roots

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 4, February 2026.
Significance Statement Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease threatens global citrus production, yet progress toward effective resistance strategies has been limited by the causal pathogen's unculturable nature and the difficulty of transforming citrus plants.

Alterations of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus-Associated Microbiota Decrease Survival of Ca. L. asiaticus in in vitro Assays

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Phloem-inhabiting bacterial phytopathogens often have smaller genomes than other bacterial phytopathogens. It is thought that they depend on both other phloem microbiota and phloem nutrients for colonization of the host. However, the mechanism underlying
