Proteomic and metabolomic analyses provide insight into the off-flavour of fruits from citrus trees infected with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’
Pathogenic profiling: why fruit from bacteria-infected trees tastes bad The bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) causes orange trees to produce poor-tasting fruit thanks to the decreased production of flavour-enhancing proteins, sugars, and metabolites.

| description | Pathogenic profiling: why fruit from bacteria-infected trees tastes bad The bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) causes orange trees to produce poor-tasting fruit thanks to the decreased production of flavour-enhancing proteins, sugars, and metabolites. The University of Florida’s Frederick Gmitter and his team of US and Chinese scientists profiled the proteins and metabolites of healthy Valencia sweet orange trees infected with CaLas, a bacterial pathogen that causes the citrus disease Huanglongbing and reduces the quantity and quality of fruit and juice. The researchers found 123 differentially-expressed proteins and decreased numbers of taste-enhancing constituents, including those mediated by key energy-producing processes. This degradation involved a class of chemicals called terpenoids, which the authors link to poor quality fruit. These results provide insights into the pathogenesis of CaLas infection and could empower future studies to prevent the impact of the bacteria and Huanglongbing infection. |
