Location: National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Citrus
2021 Annual Report
Accomplishments
1. Citrus germplasm distributions support critical Huanglongbing research. Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease of citrus for which there is currently no cure. Research into HLB biology and management is reliant upon citrus germplasm distributed by NCGRCD. In FY 2021, citrus germplasm was distributed by ARS researchers in Riverside, California, to HLB researchers in Riverside, Davis, and Albany, California; Lake Alfred, Fort Pierce, and Waiauma, Florida; Geneva, New York; and New Haven, Connecticut.
