Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Huanglongbing (HLB) is a highly destructive disease of citrus production worldwide. 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', an unculturable alpha proteobacterium, is a putative pathogen of HLB. Information about the biology and strain diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' is currently limited, inhibiting the scope of HLB research and control. RESULTS: A genomic region (CLIBASIA_05640 to CLIBASIA_05650) of 'Ca....
