- Multi-User Equipment approved in grant 2017/21460-0: gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), AP.EMU
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 d...
- Measures for reducing primary infections in the integrated management of Huanglongbing in São Paulo citrus belt: technical and economic feasibility, AP.TEM
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 gene...
- Biotechnological approaches to the control of citrus huanglongbing using transgenic plants, AP.TEM
Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) is the major threat to the citriculture worldwide. The fast and efficient dissemination of the HLB associated bacteria, Candidatus Liberibacter spp., by its psyllid vector Diaphorina citri and the absence of genetic resistance in citrus, are major factors accounting for disease severity. The development of varieties with good agronomic performance and resistance to d...
- II International Symposium on management of citrus greening, AO.R
- 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
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$4...
- Fundecitrus, Departamento de pesquisa & desenvolvimento projeto: infraestrutura para cultivo e analise de plantas, AP.RT.INST
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)

- Cultural practices on citrus orchards for the Huanglongbing management, BP.PD
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 a...
- Evaluation of control measures to reduce the primary dispersion and inoculation of HLB in citrus orchards, BP.PD
Abstract
Preventing new infections is essential for controlling Huanglongbing (HLB). Primary infections, derived from psyllids that acquired the bacteria from inoculum sources outside the commercial orchard and which often disperse from this external source into the commercial orchard in search of new shoots to feed and reproduce, are not completely avoided by applying current measures of contro...
- Variability of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and production of citrus plants with prophage genes, BP.PD
Abstract
Huanglongbing is a major threat to the citriculture worldwide. The fast and efficient dissemination of Candidatus Liberibacter spp. by the psyllid Diaphorina citri, the absence of genetic resistance in Citrus spp., are main factor driving the severity of the disease. In Brazil, we have associated with HLB Ca. L. asiaticus (Las) and Ca. L. americanus (Lam). The development of citrus cult...
- Metabolic engineering to generate new orange fruits enriched in either lycopene or anthocyanins, BP.PD
Abstract
There are sweet orange mutants that accumulate moderate levels of lycopene in the fruit pulp. However, when the fruit is processed, most of it remains in the peel of the juice vesicles and very little goes to the juice. Additionally, these mutants require cultivation under rather warm temperatures to accumulate good levels of lycopene in the fruit. There are also sweet orange mutants th...
- Production and characterization of nonpathogenic mutants of Xylella fastidiosa CVC-strain, the causal agent of the citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), BP.TT
- Phytopathogenicity of Xylella fastidiosa CVC strain: genetic analysis by gene inactivation, BP.PD
Abstract
Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). The genome of the CVC strain 9a5c was sequenced and revealed several genes and mechanisms potentially involved in X. fastidiosa phytopathogenicity such as exopolysaccharide production, toxins and cell wall degradation. Recently, transformation of several CVC strain was obtained by Monteiro and co-workers with a...
- Whole genome sequencing of citrus associated, plant pathogenic bacteria and further evaluation of the population structure in citrus orchards, BE.EP.PD
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 Liberibac...
- Development of a vector based on the Citrus tristeza virus (CTV vector) to control Huanglongbing in Brazil, BE.PQ
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 s...
