Abstract  Huanglongbing(HLB),also known as citrus greening disease,is considered a serious threat to global citrus production.HLB is primarily caused by the gramnegative bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus(CLas),which is unculturable,phloem-limited,and mainly transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid(Diaphorina citri)(Bassanezi et al.,2020;Wang,2019).HLB leads to severe economic losses because of its rapid dissemination,lack of known resistant germplasm,and severe detrimental effects on fruit yield and quality(Bassanezi et al.,2020).
