Abstract:
The most prominent problem in the current citrus industry worldwide is the epidemic of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as greening disease. Huang et al. identified a stable peptide, which has antimicrobial activities and induces systemic immune response against HLB, from Australian finger lime. This peptide effectively suppresses disease symptoms in citrus and protects healthy trees against this disease.
