Metabolic Mechanisms of Host Species Against Citrus Huanglongbing (Greening Disease)

Huanglongbing (HLB), previously known as citrus greening disease, is a devastating disease caused by gram negative, phloem-limited, fastidious bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter spp. HLB exists in nearly all commercially cultivated citrus, causing losses to growers by affecting tree vigor, production, fruit development, and quality. Recently, some promising HLB-tolerant germplasm has been identified, and showed particularly high concentration of...
