Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a destructive disease of citrus caused by phloem-limited bacteria, namely ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las), ‘Candidatus Liberibacter africanus’, and ‘Candidatus Liberibacter americanus’. Although there are no known HLB-resistant citrus species, studies have reported Poncirus trifoliata as being more tolerant. Assuming that callose deposition in the phloem of infected plants can inhibit translocation of photosynthetic products and cause starch accumulation, we com

Incidence of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’-Infected Plants Among Citrandarins as Rootstock and Scion Under Field Conditions

Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ spp., is currently one of the most serious diseases of citrus plants and has caused substantial economic losses. Thus far, there is no source of genetic resistance to HLB in the genus Citrus or its relatives. However, several studies have reported Poncirus trifoliata and some of its hybrids to be more tolerant to the disease. The main objective of this study was to report differences in the incidence of ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ in
