The Genome of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" Is Highly Transcribed When Infecting the Gut of Diaphorina citri.

ABSTRACT: The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is the vector of the bacterium "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (Las), associated with the devastating, worldwide citrus disease huanglongbing. In order to explore the molecular interactions of this bacterium with D. citri during the vector acquisition process, cDNA libraries were sequenced on an Illumina platform, obtained from the gut of adult psyllids confined in healthy (H) and in Las-infected young shoots (Las) for different periods of times (I = 1/2 days, II = 3/4 days, and III = 5/6 days). In each sampling time, three biological replicates were collected, containing 100 guts each, totaling 18 libraries depleted in ribosomal RNA. Reads were quality-filtered and mapped against the Chinese JXGC Las strain and the Flori
