Burkholderia spp. from HLB-Escape Rhizosphere: Citrus Disease Suppression Data

A figshare dataset by Yuzhen Tian, last updated in April 2026, containing genomic and experimental data related to Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in citrus. The study compares bacterial communities from symptomatic and escape trees, identifying four Burkholderia strains with inhibitory activity against the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The dataset includes results from genomic analyses and field trials showing strain G24 reduced pathogen titers and promoted plant recovery.

Use Cases

• Identifying candidate biocontrol strains based on genomic features associated with environmental adaptation and host interaction.
• Analyzing microbial community differences between disease-susceptible and resistant citrus trees.
• Studying the correlation between specific bacterial isolates and the suppression of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus titers.
• Investigating the induction of plant defense-related gene expression by microbial treatments.

Strengths

• Includes data from over 300 bacterial isolates screened for inhibitory activity.
• Provides genomic analysis results for four identified Burkholderia strains.
• Contains field trial results demonstrating disease symptom alleviation and plant recovery.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 48.1 KB, indicating limited scope.
