Abstract Background Diaphorina citri is a vector of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” ( C Las), the gram-negative bacterial pathogen associated with citrus greening disease. Control measures rely on pesticides negative impacts environment, natural ecosystems and human animal health. In contrast, gene-targeting methods have potential to specifically target species and/or reduce transmission. Results To improve genomic resources needed for targeted pest control, we assembled D. genome based...
Citrus greening disease is caused by the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and transmitted Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. No curative treatment or significant prevention mechanism exists for this disease, which causes economic losses from reduced production. A high-quality genome of D. citri being manually annotated to provide accurate gene models identify novel control targets increase understanding pest. Here, we 25 genes involved in glycolysis gluconeogenesis, seven...

Abstract Citrus greening disease is caused by the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, which transmitted Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri . There no curative treatment or significant prevention mechanism for this detrimental that causes continued economic losses from reduced production. A high quality genome of D. being manually annotated to provide accurate gene models required identify novel control targets and increase understanding pest. Here, we genes involved in...
