Poor shoot and leaf growth in Huanglongbing-affected sweet orange is associated with increased investment in defenses
Citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) causes sparse (thinner) canopies due to reduced leaf and shoot biomass. Herein, we present results demonstrating the possible mechanisms behind compromised leaf growth of HLB-affected ‘Valencia’ sweet orange trees by comparing morphological, transcriptome, and phyt...
