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…
Management of citrus black spot and citrus canker: joint chemical control, decision support system and resistance of fruit with modification in terpene content, AP.R
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…

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…
Impact of the main citrus diseases and pests on the premature fruit drop of orange orchards of the São Paulo citrus belt, AP.R
Abstract
This current proposal is to increase capacity from Infrastructure for cultivation and analyis of plants, with a new greenhouse, equiped with antiaphidic net, water collecting system to be elegible for certification with CTNBio as an area with CQB for plant cultivation. (AU)

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
HLB is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, since there are no resistant commercial varieties, the disease causes a significant reduction in production and there are no curative methods. In Brazil, the disease is associated with Candidatus Liberibacter americanus (Lam) and Ca. L. asiaticus (Las), being Las cosmopolitan and Lam restricted to Brazil. The absence of commercial citr…

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…
