Abstract
The equipment GC-MS/MS approved by Fapesp as a multi-user equipment is a gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. The gas chromatography (GC) is ideal for applications where is necessary to separate mixtures with high vapor pressure molecules, e.g. volatiles compounds. The injection of these compounds into the GC is possible both in the gas phase and dil…
Multi-User Equipment approved in grant 2017/21460-0: gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), AP.EMU
Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB), a disease mainly associated with the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, is present in all citrus production areas of Sao Paulo State. The disease causes severe sweet orange yield losses and fruit quality damages and endangers the sustainability and competitiveness of this important agribusiness genera…

Abstract
Brazil is the world leader in both orange production and export of concentrated juice. However, a significant volume of orange production has been lost every season due to the attack of diseases, mainly those related to the premature fruit drop. In the citrus belt of São Paulo state (SP), which accounts for 73% of the orange produced in Brazil, the average rate of premature fruit drop rea…

II International Symposium on Management of Citrus Greening, AO.R
Abstract
Despite the recent reduction of the planted area, Brazil remains, by far, the largest orange producer and orange juice exporter in the world. However, although huge amounts are produced and exported, the rate of fruit loss due to premature drop in the field is significant. In the Brazilian citrus belt, the rate of premature fruit drop reached 17% in the last season, corresponding to R$496…

Abstract
Citrus cultural practices such as planting spacing, pruning and use of canopy and rootstock combinations can affect the primary dispersal of citrus psyllid into the orchard and the primary inoculation of huanglongbing bacteria. The citrus flushing dynamic is directly influenced by these practices which, consequently, have potential use in the management of this disease. This work plan aim…

Abstract
Currently, huanglongbing (HLB) has severely impacted the citrus industry worldwide due to its rapid spread, reduction in fruit yield and quality, associated with the high cost to manage the disease. Vegetative flushing is the preferred site for feeding and reproduction of the psyllid (Diaphorina citri), the vector of the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter spp. which is associated with the …

Abstract
The Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, associated to uncultivated Candidatus Liberibacter species, and spread in citrus orchards by the psyllid vector Diaphorina citri in main citriculture regions such as Brazil, China and Asia in general, the USA and Central America. Although HLB was first described in Brazil fifteen years ago and Candidatus Liberibacte…

Abstract
The ability to express foreign genes or silence endogenous genes in plants has revolutionized both basic and applied plant biology. Systems of expression based on viruses, where the mRNA is greatly amplified by the viral replication can produce very high levels of proteins or peptides in leaves and other tissues. The citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is composed of two capsid proteins and a sin…
