This study identifies a bacterial outer membrane protein as a substrate of a citrus protease, showing that protease activity reduces pathogen titers and delays disease symptoms in citrus.

This paper demonstrates a scalable method to deliver plant viral vectors systemically using transgenic galls in citrus and Arabidopsis.

This study tests the effect of beneficial bacteria and their synthetic community on citrus canker resistance, finding that a synthetic community significantly reduces disease severity in both greenhouse and field trials.
