Abstract
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (yellow dragon disease) is a destructive disease of citrus. The etiological agent is a noncultured, phloem-restricted alpha-proteobacterium, “ Candidatus Liberibacter africanus” in Africa and “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” in Asia. In this study, we used an omp -based PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) approach to analyze the genetic variability of “
