Genetic mapping reveals QTLs associated with HLB response determined by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus quantification in a Citrus sunki × Poncirus trifoliata segregating population
Introduction Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease impacting citrus orchards worldwide. Identifying candidate genes and/or genomic regions that significantly influence plants' response to HLB is essential for breeding programs. Nevertheless, this remains a challenge, especially during the early stages of the cit...
