Quantitative phosphoproteomics of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) infected by Candidatus Liberibacter
Author(s): Daniel Chen, Qijie Guan, Bryan Cao and Sixue Chen*
Huanglongbing (HLB or Citrus Greening Disease) is a destructive citrus disease that has impacted the U.S. citrus
industry as well as global citrus industry for many years. There is yet to be a practical cure for HLB. Currently, there
are only temporary and costly solutions of applying insecticides to target the psyllid vector and burning down the
infected trees. Here we investigated the protein and phosphoprotein differences between control (healthy) and
diseased citrus leaves to identify potential biomarkers essential towards fighting HLB within the trees themselves.
Proteins were extracted from control and diseased leaves, followed by trypsin digestion, phosphopeptide enrichment
and label-free quantitative proteomics. In total, we identified 1539 proteins and 278 phosphoproteins, among which
63 proteins and 23 phosphoproteins exhibited significant changes betwee.. View More»
