| sulfur volatiles from allium spp. affect asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri kuwayama (hemiptera: psyllidae), response to citrus volatiles. | the asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri kuwayama, vectors candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (las) and candidatus liberibacter americanus (lam), the presumed causal agents of huanglongbing. d. citri generally rely on olfaction and vision for detection of host cues. plant volatiles from allium spp. (alliaceae) are known to repel several arthropod species. we examined the effect of garlic chive (a. tuberosum rottl.) and wild onion (a. canadense l.) volatiles on d. citri behaviour in a two-port d ... | 2011 | 20609277 |
| citrus huanglongbing in são paulo state, brazil: pcr detection of the 'candidatus' liberibacter species associated with the disease. | symptoms of huanglongbing (hlb), one of the most serious diseases of citrus in asia and africa, have been noticed in march 2004 in the araraquara region of são paulo state, brazil. hlb has not been reported previously from america. the causal hlb bacteria, candidatus liberibacter africanus in africa and candidatus liberibacter asiaticus in asia, can be detected in symptomatic citrus leaves by pcr amplification of their 16s rdna with previously described primers. when this technique was applied t ... | 2005 | 15797817 |
| candidatus liberibacter americanus induces significant reprogramming of the transcriptome of the susceptible citrus genotype. | citrus huanglongbing (hlb) disease is caused by endogenous, phloem-restricted, gram negative, uncultured bacteria named candidatus liberibacter africanus (calaf), ca. l. asiaticus (calas), and ca. l. americanus (calam), depending on the continent where the bacteria were first detected. the asian citrus psyllid vector, diaphorina citri, transmits calas and calam and both liberibacter species are present in brazil. several studies of the transcriptional response of citrus plants manifesting hlb sy ... | 2013 | 23586643 |
| oral delivery of double-stranded rnas induces mortality in nymphs and adults of the asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri. | the asian citrus psyllid (acp), diaphorina citri kuwayama, is one of the most important citrus pests. acp is the vector of the phloem-limited bacteria candidatus liberibacter americanus and candidatus liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agents of the devastating citrus disease huanglongbing (hlb). the management of hlb is based on the use of healthy young plants, eradication of infected plants and chemical control of the vector. rna interference (rnai) has proven to be a promising tool to control ... | 2017 | 28282380 |
