1. A method of detecting the presence of CLIBASIA_05315 protein (SEQ ID NO:29) in a citrus plant, the method comprising:
obtaining sap from the citrus plant; contacting the sap with an antibody that specifically binds the protein consisting of SEQ ID NO:29; detecting the presence or absence of specific binding of the antibody to SEQ ID NO:29 in the sap, thereby detecting the presence or absence of SEQ ID NO:29 in the citrus plant; and destroying the citrus plant when SEQ ID NO:29 is detected in the citrus plant.
