Abstract 【Objective】 Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), associated with phloem-colonized ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), severely impedes worldwide citrus production. The objective of this study is to analyze the biological symptoms, microstructures and transcriptomes of Citrus hystrix in response to CLas infection at different stages, to reveal the tolerance mechanism of C. hystrix, and to provide a basis for further screening of resistance genes and HLB-tolerant/resistant citrus breeding. 【Method】| The budwoods of C. hystrix grafted on two-year-old Carrizo citrange rootstocks (C. sinensis× P. trifoliata) used in this study were graft-inoculated with budwoods from a CLas (strain GZBJT)-infected Guanximiyou pummelo maintained in a greenhouse at Citrus Research Institute. The budwoods used as inoculum were tested CLas positive and free of other potential phloem-limited pathogens, such as Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) or Citrus tatter leaf virus (CTLV) by PCR before grafting. Inoculated plants were kept in greenhouse along with mock-inoculated healthy control plants. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed every 15 days after inoculation. Four months after inoculation (the earliest establishment of CLas by qPCR) and 14 months after inoculation were defined as the early infection stage and the late infection stage, respectively. The biological symptoms and microstructures were observed to analyze the structural changes of different infection stages. Combined with comparative transcriptome and RT-qPCR validation, the response mechanism of C. hystrix against HLB was explored.【Result】 No typical symptom was observed in C. hystrix at the early and late stages of infection. Light microscopy observation from the midribs of HLB-affected and uninfected C. hystrix revealed that no significant structure change was found at the early infection stage and only a few sieves in the phloem were blocked at the late stage. By comparing the RNA-seq data, 181 and 1 384 genes were found to be differentially expressed at the early stage and late stage, respectively. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) mainly involved in cell wall metabolism, host defense response, starch and sucrose metabolism, callose synthesis and signal transduction. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of related genes in starch and sucrose metabolism and cell wall metabolism was down-regulated at the early infection stage, and the expression of related genes in salicylic acid metabolism, salicylic acid signal transduction pathway, pathogenesis-related protein and glutathione-S-transferases was up-regulated at the late infection stage.【Conclusion】 The early response of C. hystrix to CLas infection is mainly characterized by stable physical structure, undisturbed pathways such as starch synthesis and photosynthesis. Salicylic acid-mediated resistance signals, effector-triggered immunity (ETI), and glutathione-S-transferases mediated detoxification contribute to the tolerance of C. hystrix against CLas at the late infection stage.
