recent years, however, the U.S. citrus industry has suffered major production losses due to citrus huanglongbing (HLB), or greening disease. The disease is caused by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus ( C Las), and it is transmitted by an
Citrus greening (HLB) has emerged as the most significant disease in citrus ( Citrus sp.) agriculture ( Bové, 2006 ). The disease is associated with the phloem-limited fastidious gram-negative α-proteobacteria, Candidatus Liberibacter species
, because of phytosanitary issues in Mexico, such as sweet orange scab ( Elsinoë australis ) and citrus greening ( FreshFruitPortal.com, 2011 ). Further stoking the interest of prospective U.S. producers are results of a demonstration plot of tahiti limes at

The asian citrus psyllid is a detrimental pest to citrus crops when it serves as a vector of the pathogen that causes greening [huanglongbing (HLB)]. Transmission of this disease causes mottling, chlorosis, dieback, and reductions in fruit size and
Florida has long been associated with citrus ( Citrus sp.), which had a total production value of more than $800 million in 2019. However, since the first detection of HLB or citrus greening disease [ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus ( C Las
