Title:
CREATE HUANGLONGBING TOLERANCE BY SILENCING A CITRUS NEGATIVE IMMUNE REGULATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/133186
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for inducing tolerance to Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus plants. It was found that silencing negative regulators of the plant immune system will provide resistance or tolerance to diseases, particularly HLB. NPR3 is silenced using citrus tristeza virus-based plant mediated RNA interference (CTV-RNAi) to create citrus plants that are resistance to HLB. Also disclosed are CTV-RNAi vectors designed to silence negative regulators of the plant immune system.
