1. Advanced 2D and 3D Image-Based Plant Phenotyping of Citrus Morphological Responses to Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus Infection

Huanglongbing (HLB), associated with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide and threatens the long-term sustainability of production because all commercially cultivated varieties are susceptible. Identifying tolerant or resistant genotypes has therefore become a central priority for modern citrus breeding programs. Conventional phenotyping based on visual scoring and manual measurements is time-consuming, labor intensive, subjective,... J. Cifuentes arenas, C. Lunewski, F. Keil, M.N. Alves, N.A. Wulff
