Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri ( Xcc ) is one of the most devastating diseases in citrus industry worldwide. Most citrus cultivars such as sweet orange are susceptible to canker disease. Here, we utilized wild citrus to identify canker-resistant germplasms, and found that Ata...
