Plant hairy roots enable high throughput identification of antimicrobials against Candidatus Liberibacter spp.

Nature Communications, 2020
The putative causal agent of citrus greening Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) cannot be cultured, which hampers finding new therapies to control this devastating disease. Here, the authors show that hairy roots support CLas propagation and enable

Infection Patterns of a Liberibacter Associated with Macrohomotoma gladiata, a Psyllid Feeding on Ficus microcarpa

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Almost all known Liberibacters can be transmitted by psyllids. This suggests that there is a coevolutionary relationship between these two groups of organisms. However, detailed investigation of Liberibacters and psyllids have often focused on only a few

A Small Wolbachia Protein Directly Represses Phage Lytic Cycle Genes in “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” within Psyllids

mSphere, 2017
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a severe disease of citrus caused by an uncultured alphaproteobacterium “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” and transmitted by Asian citrus psyllids (Diaphorina citri).

Two plant bacteria, S. meliloti and Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus, share functional znuABC homologues that encode for a high affinity zinc uptake system. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Znu system, encoded for by znuABC, can be found in multiple genera of bacteria and has been shown to be responsible for the import of zinc under low zinc conditions.

Genome Sequence Resource of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ from Thailand [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2020
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) is an unculturable α-proteobacterium associated with citrus huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease currently threatening the citrus industry worldwide. Here, we present the genome sequence of Las strain TaiYZ2 from an HLB-affected pomelo tree in Hat Yai district, Songkhla Province, Thailand.

The African citrus psyllid Trioza erytreae: An efficient vector of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
IntroductionHuanglonbing (HLB) is the most serious disease of citrus in the world, associated with three non-cultivable phloem-restricted bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), Ca L. africanus (CLaf) and Ca L. americanus (CLam). CLas is transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, and has spread to several countries.

Characterization of putative virulent factors of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]

Journal of Citrus Pathology, 2014
Citrus greening or huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease of citrus, and poses a major threat to the citrus industry in the United States (1, 2). Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus has been known to be associated with HLB in the United States (3, 4). Unsuccessful attempts to culture Ca . L. asiaticus have notably hampered efforts to understand its

Decreasing detection frequency of MITE (MCLas-A) in the population of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ recently collected in southern China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
An active miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE), MCLas-A, was previously identified from ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ known to be associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease). To explore the recent transposition
