Different transcriptional response to Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri between kumquat and sweet orange with contrasting canker tolerance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Citrus canker disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is one of the most devastating biotic stresses affecting the citrus industry. Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia) is canker-resistant, while Newhall navel orange (Citrus sinensis ...

The mannose-binding lectin gene CsMBL1 positively regulates resistance to citrus canker

Plant Hormones
Citrus canker is a serious bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas citri (Xcc) subsp. citri. It is a significant threat to the citrus industry. Plants have several defense proteins, including mannose-binding lectins (MBL), which modulate innate immune ...

From Genomics to Diagnostics: Combating the Spread of Vascular Streak Dieback in North America

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Genome‐anchored SSR genotyping, TaqMan qPCR, and colorimetric LAMP enable complementary detection of the VSD‐associated Ceratobasidiaceae lineage in woody ornamental tissues. Together, these tools support early surveillance, laboratory confirmation, and nursery biosecurity.

Characterisation and Pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae Species Associated With Avocado in South Africa

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
Avocado productivity in South Africa is constrained by members of the Botryosphaeriaceae fungal family. From 249 isolates across orchards and nurseries, 11 species were identified. Neofusicoccum parvum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, and Neofusicoccum australe were the most prevalent species, and all three proved pathogenic on avocado stems.

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ secretory protein SDE5640 activates host autophagy dependent on PSMD10 to mediate PBA1 degradation

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
Significance Statement In healthy citrus cells, CsPSMD10 directly binds CsATG8 and targets it for ubiquitin‐dependent degradation by the intact 26S proteasome, maintaining low free CsATG8 levels and suppressing autophagy to preserve immune homeostasis.

CsGATA5‐CsTRYS/CsTDC2 module coordinates tryptophan‐mediated wound healing in postharvest citrus fruit

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY The wound healing process in postharvest citrus fruit represents a crucial physiological mechanism that effectively resists external stress and minimizes quality deterioration. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms involved in wound healing by GATA transcription factors in citrus remain largely unexplored.

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

The TALE PthA4 of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Indirectly Activates an Expansin Gene CsEXP2 and an Endoglucanase CsEG1 via CsLOB1 to Cause Citrus Canker Symptoms

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is an important citrus disease worldwide. PthA4 is the most important pathogenicity gene of Xcc and encodes a transcription activator-like effector (TALE) secreted by the type III secretion ...
