| 发明名称 | Repellent compositions and genetic approaches for controlling huanglongbing | ||
| 摘要 | The invention provides a method for controlling Huanglongbing (HLB) disease of citrus plants through expressing genes encoding synthases for sesquiterpenes such as β-caryophyllene, and α-copaene, and combinations thereof, in citrus plants. Methods of controlling HLB comprising applying at least one purified sesquiterpene, which repels Diaphorina citri and/or Tryoza erytrae psyllid insects, so as to control the HLB disease of citrus plants, are also disclosed. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for controlling Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus plants comprising expressing at least one gene encoding a polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide has β-caryophyllene synthase or α-copaene synthase activity in citrus plants to produce an increased amount of β-caryophyllene, α-copaene, or combinations thereof which amount is sufficient to repel Diaphorina citri and/or Tryoza erytrae psyllid insects so as to control HLB. | ||
