- Abstract
The article discusses a research that applied heat treatments to address huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening. Yongping Duan and his U.S. Agricultural Research Service colleagues in Fort Pierce, Florida developed a method which involves heating potted citrus seedlings in greenhouses to kill off the HLB bacterium and rid the seedlings of citrus greening symptoms. This method can be used for nurseries and greenhouses and rescue of germplasm that has been infected.
