Comparative genetic mapping and a consensus interspecific genetic map reveal strong synteny and collinearity within the genus.

Introduction: Useful germplasm for citrus breeding includes all sexually compatible species of the former genera , and , now merged in the single genus. An improved knowledge on the synteny/collinearity between the genome of these different species, and on their recombination landscapes, is essential to optimize interspecific breeding schemes.

Method: We have performed a large comparative genetic mapping study including several main clades of the genus.

The complete genome sequence of " Liberibacter asiaticus" strain 9PA and the characterization of field strains in the Brazilian citriculture.

Unlabelled: " Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas) is associated with citrus huanglongbing, a severe disease with global importance that affects citrus production in Brazil. This study reports the first complete genome of a Brazilian strain of CLas. The genomic structure comparison of strain 9PA with those of 13 complete CLas genomes revealed 9,091 mismatches and 992 gaps/insertions, highlighting eight locally colinear blocks, among which six are in the prophage region.

Impedimetric immunosensor versus qPCR for Huanglongbing detection.

Citriculture is facing challenges due to the spread of various diseases, among which the most threatening, with worldwide occurrence, is Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter spp., vectored by psyllids. In orchards, HLB-infected plants are identified by visual observation of symptoms.

Rehabilitation of dysphagia and voice problems following total laryngectomy.

Objective: Determine participants' satisfaction with rehabilitation following total laryngectomy (TL) and investigate associations between dysphagia, voice problems, and possible explanatory variables.

Methods: 172 Danish and Swedish participants having received a TL 1.6-18.
