Discovery of a Molecular Pathway for Citrus Resistance to Citrus Greening

A recent study sheds light on the molecular mechanism between citrus and Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Researchers from Huazhong Agricultural University have identified SDE10 as a key pathogenic effector, inhibiting the CsXCP2 protein, which plays a central role in citrus defense. By designing CsXCP2 variants capable of evading SDE10, this research paves the way for the creation of resistant citrus varieties, crucial for combating this global threat to citrus production.
