Article Synopsis
  • - Huanglongbing disease (HLB) is a serious threat to the 'Kinnow' mandarin in Pakistan, caused by a bacterial species and spread by the Asian citrus psyllid insect.
  • - The study explored the use of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized from garlic extract to enhance fruit quality and antioxidant defenses in HLB-infected 'Kinnow' plants, finding that a 75 mg/L concentration significantly improved various fruit characteristics and antioxidant enzyme levels.
  • - Proteomics analysis showed that SeNPs affected the expression of proteins related to growth and stress response, indicating that their application can improve the nutritional quality and overall health of HLB-affected mandarin fruit.

Department of Plant Pathology, Citrus Research and Education Center, University of Florida, IFAS, Lake Alfred, FL, United States.

Epigenetics has emerged as a potent field of study for understanding the factors influencing the effectiveness of human disease treatments and for identifying alternations induced by pathogens in host plants. However, there has been a paucity of research on the epigenetic control of the proliferation and pathogenicity of fungal plant pathogens. Fungal plant pathogens such as , a significant threat to global rice production, provide an important model for exploring how epigenetic mechanisms govern fungal proliferation and virulence.

Article Synopsis
  • The sweetness level of citrus fruits, influenced by sugars and organic acids, is essential for their market appeal and competitiveness.
  • Researchers identified and characterized genes related to ATP-dependent 6-phosphofructokinase (PFK), specifically CitPFK3, which plays a significant role in sugar metabolism during fruit ripening and storage.
  • The study reveals that manipulating CitPFK3 could boost sugar accumulation in citrus fruits, paving the way for improved practices in enhancing fruit quality and postharvest management.
