Development of a rapid method for the diagnosis of citrus greening disease using the polymerase chain reaction
TL;DR: A rapid and sensitive assay based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed using the primers derived from the sequences of the cloned DNA fragment of greening fastidious bacterium (GFB) to detect GFB infection in citrus.

Identification of Alternative Hosts of the Fastidious Bacterium Causing Citrus Greening Disease
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that GFB can replicate in Chinese box orange and wood apple but not in common jasmin orange and curry leaf, where GFB replicates as well as it does in its citrus hosts.
Biological and Molecular Categorization of Strains of Banana bunchy top virus
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that various BBTV strains exist in nature and they differ biologically and also molecularly.

Identification of the Chinese box orange (Severinia buxifolia) as an alternative host of the bacterium causing citrus Huanglongbing
TL;DR: CBO is shown to be a susceptible host plant in which HLBB can exist and replicate and it is also a donor plant from which HL BB can be transmitted to citrus hosts by grafting or by psyllid vectors.
Multiplex detection, distribution, and genetic diversity of Hop stunt viroid and Citrus exocortis viroid infecting citrus in Taiwan
TL;DR: Results of the multiplex quantitative analysis suggested that uneven distributions of both viroids with twig bark as the most appropriate material for studies involving viroid sampling such as quarantine inspection, suggest that different citrus cultivars may play important roles in viroid infection and evolution.
