Phylogenetic and Pathogenic Evidence Reveals Novel Host-Pathogen Interactions between Species of and Dieback Disease in Southern Mexico.

Mexico ranks second in the world for Persian lime () exports, making it the principal citrus exporter within the national citrus industry, exporting over 600,000 tons per year. However, diseases are the main factor reducing production, resulting in significant economic losses. Among these diseases, fungal diseases like dieback, caused by species of , are an emerging issue in Persian lime.

Insights into the Molecular Basis of Huanglongbing Tolerance in Persian Lime ( Tan.) through a Transcriptomic Approach.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a vascular disease of caused by three species of the α-proteobacteria " Liberibacter", with " Liberibacter asiaticus" (Las) being the most widespread and the one causing significant economic losses in citrus-producing regions worldwide. However, Persian lime ( Tanaka) has shown tolerance to the disease. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this tolerance, transcriptomic analysis of HLB was performed using asymptomatic and symptomatic leaves.

Weeds Harbor Species that Cause Malformation Disease of Economically Important Trees in Western Mexico.

Mango malformation disease (MMD) caused by spp. is an important limiting factor in most production areas worldwide. and have been reported as causing MMD in Mexico.

Malformation Disease in (Rosy Trumpet) Caused by in Mexico.

(rosy trumpet) is an economically important neotropical tree in Mexico that is highly valued for the quality of its wood, which is used for furniture, crafts, and packing, and for its use as an ornamental and shade tree in parks and gardens. During surveys conducted in the lower Balsas River Basin region in the states of Guerrero and Michoacán, symptoms of floral malformation were detected in trees. The main objectives of this study were to describe this new disease, to determine its causal agent, and to identify it using DNA sequence data.
