Abstract
Candidatus Liberibacter spp. can infect most citrus plants and rely entirely on phloem sieve tube cells of the host plant for survival. Candidatus Liberibacter primarily contains Ca. L. asiaticus (CLas), Ca. L. africanus (CLaf), and Ca. L. americanus (CLam). Among these, CLas is the most harmful and widely distributed and is the primary pathogen of the devastating citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB). Effectors are among the core weapons secreted by pathogens into plant cells to attack the plant i
