Cupriavidus basilensis SRS was isolated from stream sediments from the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of Cupriavidus basilensis SRS. The genome contains 8,918,236 bp and 7,916 predicted protein-coding genes, with a total G+C content of 65.

- Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the bacterium Liberibacter asiaticus, is a major threat to the citrus industry, and salinity is another significant stress affecting citrus production globally.
- The study evaluated S10 rootstock seedlings for their ability to withstand both HLB and salinity by grafting 'Valencia' sweet orange onto them and monitoring the effects of saline irrigation.
- Results indicated that certain S10 lines showed improved salt tolerance and upregulated plant defense genes, suggesting their potential as rootstocks for sweet oranges under HLB stress, though they need to be propagated via tissue culture due to genetic variability in zygotic seedlings.
Shortening the juvenile stage in citrus and inducing early flowering has been the focus of several citrus genetic improvement programs. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a small phloem-translocated protein that regulates precocious flowering. In this study, two populations of transgenic Carrizo citrange rootstocks expressing either Citrus clementina FT1 or FT3 genes under the control of the Arabidopsis thaliana phloem specific SUCROSE SYNTHASE 2 (AtSUC2) promoter were developed.
