Abstract
Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus is a fastidious prokaryotic α-proteobacterium that has not been cultured as yet. It is the causative agent of Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is a disease that infects citrus plants causing huge losses to the citrus industry. The plants employ a variety of defense mechanisms to combat the pathogen attack which mainly involves the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mainly hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite and organic hydroperoxides.
