Dual Functions of a Stable Peptide against Citrus Huanglongbing Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most prominent problem in the current citrus industry worldwide is epidemic of Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as greening disease. Huang et al. identified a stable peptide, which has antimicrobial activities and induces systemic immune response against HLB, from Australian finger lime. This peptide effectively suppresses disease symptoms protects healthy trees this

Citrus Bacterial Canker Disease and Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening)
IntRODUctIOn Compared with the rest of the world, the California citrus industry is relatively free of diseases that can impact growers’ profits. Unfortunately, exotic plant pathogens may become well established before they are recognized as such. This is primarily because some of the initial symptoms mimic other diseases, mineral deficiencies, or toxicities. In addition, development of disease...
متن کاملCitrus huanglongbing: a newly relevant disease presents unprecedented challenges.
Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the oldest citrus diseases and has been known for over a century. HLB is caused by 'Candidatus Liberibacter' spp. that are phloem-limited, fastidious α-proteobacteria and infect hosts in different Kingdoms (i.e., Animalia and Plantae). When compared with well-characterized, cultivatable plant-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, the interactions of uncultured ...
متن کاملFirst report of citrus huanglongbing disease on orange in Iran
Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as greening, is a destructive disease of citrus that may limit production of this crop in many parts of Asia, Africa and South America. HLB is caused by a non-culturable phloem-limited bacterium of the genus ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter’. Three Candidatus species of Liberibacter, namely, ‘ Ca . L. asiaticus’, ‘ Ca . L. africanus’ and ‘ Ca . L. americanus’, have been...
متن کاملTranscriptome Profiling of Citrus Fruit Response to Huanglongbing Disease
Huanglongbing (HLB) or "citrus greening" is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide. In this work, we studied host responses of citrus to infection with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) using next-generation sequencing technologies. A deep mRNA profile was obtained from peel of healthy and HLB-affected fruit. It was followed by pathway and protein-protein network analysis and qua...
متن کاملTransgenic Citrus Expressing an Arabidopsis NPR1 Gene Exhibit Enhanced Resistance against Huanglongbing (HLB; Citrus Greening)
Commercial sweet orange cultivars lack resistance to Huanglongbing (HLB), a serious phloem limited bacterial disease that is usually fatal. In order to develop sustained disease resistance to HLB, transgenic sweet orange cultivars 'Hamlin' and 'Valencia' expressing an Arabidopsis thaliana NPR1 gene under the control of a constitutive CaMV 35S promoter or a phloem specific Arabidopsis SUC2 (AtSU...
