High-efficiency genome-editing, transgene evaluation, and antimicrobial efficacy testing using Citrus medica L. hairy roots. [PDF]
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.

Risk Evaluation and Molecular Characterisation of AtNPR1 Transgenic Citrus Lines Tolerant to Citrus Greening Disease. [PDF]
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 ...

Citrus Bacterial Canker Disease and Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening) [PDF]
Author(s): Polek, Marylou; Vidalakis, Georgios; Godfrey, Kris | Abstract: Citrus canker and huanglongbing (HLB, or citrus greening) are two serious diseases that affect crops around the world, but have not yet infected California groves. This publication tells how to help keep the diseases out of California, and how to recognize them if or when they do

Controlling Citrus Huanglongbing: Green Sustainable Development Route Is the Future [PDF]
Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most severe bacterial disease of citrus crops caused by Candidatus Liberibacter spp. It causes a reduction in fruit yield, poor fruit quality, and even plants death. Due to the lack of effective medicine, HLB is also called citrus “AIDS.” Currently, it is essential for the prevention and control of HLB to use antibiotics and ...
