Poor shoot and leaf growth in Huanglongbing-affected sweet orange is associated with increased investment in defenses
Answiya Neupane,Faisal Shahzad,Chiara Bernardini,Amit Levy,Tripti Vashisth +4 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that HLB-affected trees had a higher tradeoff of resources on defense over growth, leading to sparse canopies and a high tree mortality rate with HLB progression.

Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus reduces callose and reactive oxygen species production in the phloem
Chiara Bernardini,Donielle Turner,Chunxia Wang,Stacy Welker,Diann Achor,Yosvanis Acanda Artiga,Robert Turgeon,Amit Levy +7 more
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that the bacteria manipulate cell metabolism to disable plant defenses and suggests that HLB disease is the result of a constant arms-race between the pathogen and a defense response, which is ultimately harmful to the host plant.

Increased susceptibility to Chrysanthemum Yellows phytoplasma infection in Atcals7ko plants is accompanied by enhanced expression of carbohydrate transporters
Chiara Bernardini,Simonetta Santi,Giovanni Mian,Amit Levy,Sara Buoso,Joon Hyuk Suh,Yu Wang,Christopher Vincent,Aart J. E. van Bel,Rita Musetti +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of callose synthase 7 (CALS7) absence on phytoplasma growth in Arabidopsis wild type and mutant plants were investigated.
Phloem and xylem responses are both implicated in HLB tolerance of Sugar Belle.
Acobo Alberto Campo Robledo,Stacy Welker,Ilana Shtein,Chiara Bernardini,C. Vincent,Amit Levy +5 more
TL;DR: Phloem and xylem modifications seem to be involved in SB tolerance, as increased carbohydrate availability induced by greater CO2 fixation, mild effect in carbohydrate export, and local accumulation of callose in the phloem are hypothesized.
Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus accumulation in the phloem inhibits callose and reactive oxygen species
Chiara Bernardini,Donielle Turner,Chunxia Wang,Stacy Welker,Diann Achor,Yosvanis Acanda Artiga,Robert Turgeon,Amit Levy +7 more
TL;DR: Clas inhibits callose deposition in the sieve pores and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species to favor its cell-to-cell movement.
