Research Project: INVESTIGATING MECHANISMS OF PATHOGENESIS AND NATURAL DEFENSE RESPONSES OF CITRUS GREENING (HLB) BY CHARACTERIZING HOST SMALL RNAS AND MRNAS

Location: Subtropical Insects and Horticulture Research

Project Number: 6618-21000-013-51
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Oct 01, 2012
End Date: Dec 31, 2014

Objective:
To identify the mechanisms of pathogenesis and natural defense in citrus to citrus greening disease or huanglongbing.

Approach:
Complete greenhouse inoculation of citrus with huanglongbing (Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus). Assess plant response and analyze changes in host plant small RNAs and mRNAs.
