Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect X. c. citrumelo lesion expansion was greatest on trifoliate orange hybrids.
- Intervention effect Smaller bacterial spot lesions formed on Citrus species and their hybrids except Key lime.
- Intervention effect Key lime developed bacterial spot lesions similar to trifoliate hybrids.
- Observation Citrus types showed more general susceptibility to X. c. citri.
- Intervention effect X. c. citri pinprick lesion sizes did not differ significantly among Citrus species and hybrids, indicating general mesophyll susceptibility.
- Intervention effect Citrus relatives generally developed smaller canker lesions, including some trifoliate orange cultivars.
- Method / resource Pinprick inoculation bypasses stomatal infection and excludes other field-resistance factors because wounds directly expose leaf mesophyll to bacteria.
