3 Plant species have thrived for thousands of years in the presence of evolving, hostile pathogens HOW? They have created their own genetic diversity, and through the process of natural selection, tolerant or resistant genotypes overcome the threat and allow the species to evolve. In Citrus, this process has been largely interrupted by man, with Citriculture now approaching monoculture leading to the problem that has brought us all together. Facilitated by biotechnology, citrus breeders have the opportunity to artificially reinstate this process by creating broad and unique genetic diversity from elite parents, followed by robust screening. Maybe this is the answer for solving the HLB and other disease problems!
4 Can we breed seedless (or low-seeded) sweet orange hybrids tolerant of HLB? Maybe! Above tree is a 3x hybrid containing 8% trifoliate orange, with juice indistinguishable from commercial sweet oranges! Midseason fruit with 37 color score and high brix. Wide hybridization capturing HLB resistance genes from trifoliate orange
5 A Grand Experiment in Natural Selection: HLB-tolerant tetraploid breeding parent Hirado Buntan Pink pummelo x 4x Succari sweet orange; PCR+ for HLB for 4 years, shows blotchy mottle in fall, but no effect on fruit!
6 Sugar Belle is HLB tolerant! Trees near Fort Pierce, HLB+ for more than six years normal production!
7
8 Sugar Belle is HLB tolerant! Young tree with HLB 3+ years, 4 boxes of beautiful fruit at Christmas
9 UF Bingo easy-peel, seedless mandarin approved for release showing good HLB tolerance!
10
11 Cybrid 304: tree HLB+ more than 3 years. Large-fruited mandarin; fruit not affected by HLB; juice has strong orange note, amenable to processing!
12 Pummelos an under-utilized genetic resource; parent of sweet orange, grapefruit and rootstocks!

15 Sampling the OLL sweet orange somaclones. OLL clones have superior quality and are showing better stress tolerance than Valencia (including HLB)
16 ORANGES OLL-8 Key attributes: Excellent color and quality, extends harvest window of Valencia quality juice Produces round oranges with internal and external color similar to Rhode Red Valencia Holds on the tree exceptionally well, and maintains quality into the summer Trees appear to yield better than standard Valencia High juice content and good pounds solids Peels easier than a standard Valencia With its added color, could also be a valuable addition to the Florida fresh market portfolio Most precocious bearing clone among the OLL somaclones OLL-8 For more information on OLL-8 or OLL-4, please contact Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc.

30 NEW STRATEGY: BREEDING SOMATIC HYBRID ROOTSTOCKS AT THE TETRAPLOID LEVEL CREATION OF TETRAZYGS -Use of allotetraploid somatic hybrid breeding parents allows the mixing of genes from 3-4 diploid rootstocks at once. - Progeny can be screened at the seed/seedling level for wide soil adaptability and Phytophthora resistance. - Products can have direct rootstock potential including adequate polylembryony, ability to control tree size due to polyploidy, and improved disease resistance.

37 Research article: Rootstock-regulated gene expression patterns associated with fire blight resistance in apple By Philip J Jensen 1, Noemi Halbrendt 1,2, Gennaro Fazio 3, Izabela Makalowska 4, Naomi Altman 5, Craig Praul 6, Siela N Maximova 7, Henry K Ngugi 1,2, Robert M Crassweller 7, James W Travis 1,2 and Timothy W McNellis 1* BMC Genomics 2012, 13:9 In apple, rootstock genetics effect scion gene expression in this case affecting fire blight resistance (also caused by a gram-negative bacterium). Thus, something being produced by the rootstock is being translocated to the scion that affects disease resistance why wouldn t this happen in citrus as well, especially with complex tetraploid rootstocks? Rootstocks differentially translocate nutrients, phytohormones (plant growth regulators), micro-rnas, small proteins (pathogenesis related?), and other metabolites to the scion. This could have both direct and indirect, quantitative and quantitative affects on scion gene expression, and possibly Lilberibacter pathogenesis in citrus especially with unique complex allotetraploid rootstocks.
38 The New Gauntlet in the HLB world 1. Crosses of superior parents made at diploid and tetraploid levels 2. Seed harvested from crosses planted in bins of calcareous soil (ph=8), inoculated with P. nicotianae and P. palmivora (JH Graham) 3. Selection of robust seedlings based on growth rate, health and color (most don t make it!) 4. Transfer to 4x4 pots in commercial potting soil 5. Top of new tree goes for seed source tree production; remaining liner to the HLB screen 6. Hybrid liner is grafted with HLB-infected budstick of Valencia sweet orange; remaining rootstock top removed, forced flushing from HLBinfected sweet orange budstick 7. Trees monitored for HLB symptoms healthy appearing trees entered into hot psyllid house for 4 weeks, followed by field planting at Picos Farm (under DPI permit).
39 Seed from diploid and tetraploid crosses are planted in calcareous soil inoculated with P. nicotianae and P. palmivora (Diane Bright/Graham lab). This cross shows high susceptibility to Phytophthora.
40 Rootstock cross with good Phytophthora resistance.
41 Gauntlet trees are produced by stick grafts. HLB-infected Valencia budsticks wrapped in parafilm are grafted into selected rootstock candidates. Rootstock tops are used to produce rooted cuttings for seed trees on their own roots.
42 Flush from HLB-infected budsticks grows right through the parafilm, no unwrapping is necessary.
43 Quite often the first flush is symptom free, selection is based on the 2 nd flush, which usually shows symptoms.
44 Initially Susceptible (including dead trees) The Duds HLB screening of complex new rootstock candidates by grafting hot PCR+ HLB-infected Valencia budsticks into each hybrid (after propagation of seed trees). Valencia trees growing out from the infected tissue with little or no symptoms after the 2 nd flush are passed through a hot psyllid house prior to field planting at the UDSA Picos Farm.
45 Intermediate response these are saved for observation; on rare occasions a few show a recovery phenomenon.
46 Good First Flush Good Second Flush Candidates on right are passed through the hot psyllid house until feeding damage is observed, then trees planted at USDA-Picos Farm.

50 HLB Tolerance or Resistance/Avoidance? 60 trees of Valencia somaclones on Orange #19 rootstock (UFR-4), graft-inoculated twice in the Dawson HLB greenhouse were planted at the USDA-Picos Farm in Fort Pierce, Spring of Orange #19: Nova+HBPummelo x Cleo+Argentine trifoliate orange a tetrazyg produced from conventional breeding of somatic hybrids. 57 trees are still in this trial (3 removed due to poor health), 9 tested PCR-negative (15.8%) in December, Does this suggest a partial resistance or avoidance mechanism in the rootstock? If so, can it be enhanced by further breeding?

54 Rootstock improvements regarding HLB are like likely to come in stages: First stage: Rootstocks that reduce the frequency of HLB infection, and reduce the severity of the disease once infected these will still require efficient psyllid control and optimized production systems. Second stage: Potential rootstock mitigation of the disease research is underway to possibly identify rootstocks that can protect the entire tree regardless of the scion. Psyllid control may not be necessary. No horticultural performance data would be available on such selections initially, but the hybrids would have good rootstock pedigree, and can be mass-propagated by tissue culture (Ruck s Nursery, Agristarts, Agromillora, etc.).
