Grafting is an important, widely used plant propagation technique but its physiological effects are as yet insufficiently understood. Recent studies indicate that movement of proteins and small RNAs through the graft union might be involved. MicroRNAs are known to play a significant role in regulation of higher plants’ developmental and metabolic traits. Extending this logic, we hypothesize tha...

Accumulation of phosphate sludge (PS) generated from treatment process in the open air represent an environment risk and a problem terms storage capacities. The use this by-products agriculture, is alternative recovery technique for phosphate. Moreover, selection symbionts their inoculation into soil whether nursery or at field were strongly encouraged. These inoculants selected not only impact...

The effects of shading in combination with salinity treatments were studied in citrus trees on two rootstocks with contrasting salt tolerance to determine if shading could reduce the negative effects of salinity stress. Well-nourished 2-year-old 'Valencia' orange trees grafted on Cleopatra mandarin (Cleo, relatively salt tolerant) or Carrizo citrange (Carr, relatively salt sensitive), were grow...

Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (Las) and citrus canker disease incited by Xanthomonas citri are the most devastating citrus diseases worldwide. To control citrus HLB and canker disease, we previously screened over forty antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in vitro for their potential application in genetic engineering. D2A21 was one of the most active A...

Two distinct Phytophthora taxa were found to be associated with brown rot of pomelo (Citrus grandis), a new disease of this ancestral Citrus species, in the Vinh Long province, Mekong River Delta area, southern Vietnam. On the basis of morphological characters and using the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of the rDNA and the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) as barcode genes, one of the two taxa was pro...

tristeza caused by citrus tristeza virus (ctv), is the most important viral disease of citrus worldwide. serious damages of the disease have been reported from many citrus growing areas of the world. ctv particles are restricted to phloem and are transmitted by aphids in a semipersistent manner. ctv was introduced from japan to mahdasht orchards in mazadaran province in 1969. its natural spread...

Boron (B) deficiency has seriously negative effect on citrus production. Carrizo citrange (CC) has been reported as a B-deficiency tolerant rootstock. However, the molecular mechanism of its B-deficiency tolerance remained not well-explored. To understand the molecular basis of citrus rootstock to B-deficiency, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray approaches were combined ...

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a citrus disease that affects the growth of fibrous roots trees. This means HLB-affected trees may have reduced root volume and impact water uptake. A greenhouse study was conducted from October 2019 to July 2021 at Citrus Research Education Center (CREC) in Lake Alfred, FL, evaluate development under deficit irrigation system. The objective assess on tree growth, availab...
