Temporal Decline in Pathogen-Mediated Release of Methyl Salicylate Associated With Decreasing Vector Preference for Infected Over Uninfected Plants
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is the vector of the phytopathogenic bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), that causes citrus greening. Diaphorina citri is attracted to methyl salicylate (MeSA) emitted by CLas-infected citrus. MeSA is catalyzed from salicylic acid...
