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.

Rootstock Influence on Growth and Mineral Content of Citrus limon and Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia Inoculated with Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus

Agronomy, 2020
Huanglongbing (HLB) reduces the growth and development of citrus and induces changes in secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, limonoids, and polyamines.

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 ...

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

Journal 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.

Metabolite Signature of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus Infection in Two Citrus Varieties [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2014
Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as Citrus Greening Disease, is caused by the bacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas) and is a serious threat to the citrus industry. To understand the effect of CLas infection on the citrus metabolome, juice from healthy (n = 18), HLB-asymptomatic (n = 18), and HLB-symptomatic Hamlin (n = 18), as well as ...

Effective antibiotics against 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' in HLB-affected citrus plants identified via the graft-based evaluation.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), caused by three species of fastidious, phloem-limited 'Candidatus Liberibacter', is one of the most destructive diseases of citrus worldwide.

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

Molecular 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.

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

Plant 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

The 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.

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

PLoS 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.
