Research Project: Identification and characterization of HLB-induced small RNAs and mRNAs-towards the understanding of natural defense mechanisms against HLB

Location: Subtropical Insects and Horticulture Research

Project Number: 6618-21000-013-49
Project Type: Trust

Start Date: Oct 01, 2012
End Date: Sep 30, 2013

Objective:
To identify important regulatory components in host defense signaling pathways, which will be used to develop effective means for huanglongbing (Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus) control.

Approach:
Complete greenhouse inoculation of citrus with huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus tristeza virus. Assess plant response and analyze changes in host plant small RNAs and mRNAs.
