Citrus HLB Resistance Interstock Trial Data

A dataset from greenhouse experiments evaluating six HLB-resistant citrus genotypes used as interstocks between susceptible scion and rootstock varieties. The study assessed CLas infection and titer in leaves, stem bark, and roots over 12–24 months, alongside molecular, anatomical, and biometric variables. Data supports analysis of bacterial movement blockage and root system dry weight changes in composite plants.

Use Cases

• Analyze CLas titer levels in scion, interstock bark, and rootstock tissues to compare bacterial blockage efficacy across six HLB-resistant genotypes.
• Model the relationship between CLas + CTV infection status and the 50% reduction in root system dry weight observed in most genotypes.
• Investigate changes in sieve phloem anatomy and gene expression data associated with CLas and CTV co-infection over a 12–24 month period.
• Assess the frequency of CLas movement blockage from scion to roots, specifically for the F1 hybrid of C. australis × C. inodora and the C. glauca admixture hybrid.

Strengths

• Includes data from a controlled greenhouse trial assessing six distinct HLB-resistant citrus genotypes.
• Contains multi-faceted assessment variables: CLas infection status, titer levels, molecular data, anatomical changes, and biometric measurements like dry weight.
• Temporal coverage spans 12 to 24 months post-inoculation, allowing observation of infection progression.

Limitations

• Dataset is small (1.4 MB file), likely containing summary or processed data rather than raw, high-volume experimental records.
• Findings are from greenhouse conditions; applicability to long-term field performance requires further evaluation as noted in the study.
• Specific row and column counts, sample data, and data structure are unavailable from the input.
