Unravelling Citrus Huanglongbing Disease [PDF]
Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening is a disease caused by the unculturable, fastidious, phloem-restrictive, Gram-negative bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter spp. Currently, there are three species linked to the disease. The Asian form associated with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is heat-tolerant and can survive well above 30°C.

Mutations in the SWEET15 Sugar Transporter Gene Affect Response of Citrus to Huanglongbing Disease and Citrus Canker. [PDF]
Assays of knockouts in several SWEET genes show that SWEET15 mutations reduce levels of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri and “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” in infected citrus plants, suggesting that SWEET15 is a susceptibility gene. ABSTRACT Bacterial diseases like huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus canker severely impact citrus production. HLB, caused by “
