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

Divergent Host-Microbe Interaction and Pathogenesis Proteins Detected in Recently Identified Liberibacter Species

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Candidatus (Ca.) Liberibacter taxa are economically important bacterial plant pathogens that are not culturable; however, genome-enabled insights can help us develop a deeper understanding of their host-microbe interactions and evolution.

Screening of diverse Psylloidea species in Taiwan reveals the presence of both known and potentially novel “Candidatus Liberibacter” species in multiple psyllid lineages [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Psyllids (Psylloidea) are host-specific, phloem-feeding insects that are associated with the transmission of destructive plant diseases caused by the bacterial genus “Candidatus Liberibacter”.

Development of Chemically Defined Media Reveals Citrate as Preferred Carbon Source for Liberibacter Growth

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Liberibacter crescens is the closest cultured relative of four important uncultured crop pathogens. Candidatus L. asiaticus, L. americanus, and L. africanus are causal agents of citrus greening disease, otherwise known as huanglongling (HLB).

‘Candidatus liberibacter solanacearum’ protein CKC_05770 interacts in vivo with tomato APX6 and APX7 [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Pathogens have evolved mechanisms to manipulate their hosts to facilitate effective colonization and infection. One such mechanism involves the secretion of effectors that interfere with the host immune response.

Huanglongbing as a Persistent Threat to Citriculture in Latin America [PDF]

Biology
Citrus commercial species are the most important fruit crops in the world; however, their cultivation is seriously threatened by the fast dispersion of emerging diseases, including Huanglongbing (HLB) citrus greening.

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Accumulation Contributes to Citrus sinensis Response against ‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’ via Modulation of Multiple Metabolic Pathways and Redox Status

Plants, 2023
Huanglongbing (HLB; also known as citrus greening) is the most destructive bacterial disease of citrus worldwide with no known sustainable cure yet. Herein, we used non-targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to prove that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA ...
