Changes in carbohydrate metabolism in Citrus sinensis infected with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

Changes in carbohydrate metabolism in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) infected with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', a purported cause of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), were investigated. Starch levels in HLB‐infected leaves with and without symptoms increased 3·1‐ and 7·9‐fold, respectively, c...

Description
Summary:Changes in carbohydrate metabolism in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) infected with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', a purported cause of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), were investigated. Starch levels in HLB‐infected leaves with and without symptoms increased 3·1‐ and 7·9‐fold, respectively, compared to healthy controls. In symptomless leaves, sucrose and fructose accumulated significantly (P
