Chloroplast-Associated ROS Signaling Shapes Tissue-Specific Pathogenicity Mechanisms of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in Leaf and Root

The phloem-colonizing bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) causes the devastating citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). Despite the important roles of roots, how CLas affects roots remains largely unknown. Here we dissected host responses in leaf and root at differen...
