Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease for citrus worldwide, is caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). In this study, we employed a novel extractive electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (EESI-MS) method to analyze the metabolites in leaves of uninfected and HLB-infected Newhall navel orange. The results showed that uninfected and HLB-infected leaves could be readily distinguished based on EESI-MS combined by multivariable analysis. Nine phenolic compounds involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, such as p-coumaric acid, naringin, and apigenin, were principal components to distinguish the leaves of uninfected and HLB-infected Newhall navel orange. Gene expression was also conducted to further explore the molecular mechanism of phenylpropanoid branch pathway in HLB. The expression of genes (4CL, HCT, CHI, CHS, CYP, and C12R) involved in phenylpropanoid branch pathway was increased in asymptomatic and early period of HLB-infected leaves, while decreased in later period of HLB-infected leaves. This study provides a novel method for early detection of citrus HLB and suggests the regulation mechanism of phenylpropanoid pathway in the interaction between citrus and CLas.

Background: Drought stress is a major environmental constraint affecting crop yields. Plants in agricultural and natural environments have developed various mechanisms to cope with drought stress. Identifying genes associated with drought stress tolerance in potato and elucidating their regulatory mechanisms is crucial for the breeding of new potato germplasms.

Acylation represents a pivotal biochemical process that is instrumental in the modification of secondary metabolites throughout the growth and developmental stages of plants. The BAHD acyltransferase family within the plant kingdom predominantly utilizes coenzyme A thioester as the acyl donor, while employing alcohol or amine compounds as the acceptor substrates to facilitate acylation reactions. Using bioinformatics approaches, the gene family members in the genome of () were identified and characterized including gene structure, conserved motifs, -acting elements, and potential gene functions.
