Transcriptomic Profiling of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' in Different Citrus Tissues Reveals Novel Insights into Huanglongbing Pathogenesis

In the latest MPMI Editor's Pick, Amelia Lovelace et al. investigate the transcriptomic landscape of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' in citrus seed coat vasculatures, revealing unique gene expression patterns and identifying two virulence factors that suppress callose deposition, potentially aiding colonization. Additionally, analysis of regulatory elements suggests LuxR-type transcription factors regulate Liberibacter effector gene expression, providing new insights into huanglongbing pathogenesis.
