[EN] Production of citrus, the main fruit tree crop worldwide, is severely threatened by Huanglongbing (HLB), for which as yet a cure is not available. Spread of this bacterial disease in America and Asia is intimately ...
[EN] To get an insight into the host RNA silencing defense induced by Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and into the counter defensive reaction mediated by its three silencing suppressors (p25, p20 and p23), we have examined by ...

[EN] The large RNA genome of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV; ca. 20 kb) contains 12 open reading
frames, with the 3
-terminal one corresponding to a protein of 209 amino acids (p23)
that is expressed from an abundant ...
[EN] Huanglongbing (HLB), formerly known as greening, is a bacterial disease restricted to some Asian and African regions until two decades ago. Nowadays, associated bacteria and their vectors have spread to almost all ...

[EN] Huanglongbing (HLB) is a destructive disease, associated with psyllid-transmitted phloem-restricted pathogenic bacteria, which is seriously endangering citriculture worldwide. It affects all citrus species and cultivars ...
[EN] Huanglongbing (HLB) disease is threatening the sustainability of citriculture in affected regions because of its rapid spread and the severity of the symptoms it induces. Herein, we summarise the main research findings ...
[EN] For four decades, an influential hypothesis has posited that competition for food resources between microbes and vertebrates selects for microbes to alter these resources in ways that make them unpalatable to vertebrates. ...

[EN] To recover transgenic citrus plants in the most efficient manner, the use of selection marker genes is essential. In this work, it was shown that the mutated forms of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene in combination ...
[EN] Citrus fruits are characterized by a complex mixture of volatiles making up their characteristic aromas, being the D-limonene the most abundant one. However, its role on citrus fruit and juice odor is controversial. ...
[EN] Numerous studies have revealed the remarkable health-promoting activities of citrus fruits, all of them related to the accumulation of bioactive compounds, including vitamins and phytonutrients. Anthocyanins are ...
[EN] Conventional breeding of citrus types demands a long-term effort due to their complex reproductive biology and long juvenile period. As a compelling alternative, genetic engineering of mature tissues allows the insertion ...
[EN] Novel, suitable and sustainable alternative control tactics that have the potential to reduce migration of Diaphorina citri into commercial citrus orchards are essential to improve management of huanglongbing (HLB). ...
[EN] BACKGROUND Host genetic resistance is a promising strategy for the management of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), and consequently Huanglongbing (HLB). To date, no study has investigated the resistance ...
