From: The effect of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ infection on the proteomic profiles and nutritional status of pre-symptomatic and symptomatic grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) plants

Figure 6

A schematic summary of observed effects of Las-infection on the nutrient status and protein expression levels in leaves of grapefruit plants that were pre-symptomatic or symptomatic for HLB. Upward or downward arrows indicate increase or decrease, respectively, while arrow width indicates relative magnitude. Two-year old healthy plants were either graft-inoculated with side shoots from PCR-confirmed Las-infected bud sticks or uninoculated and leaf samples were analyzed at three months post-inoculation (for pre-symptomatic plants) or six months post-inoculation (for symptomatic plants). Asterisks (*) denotes an insignificant effect of Las-infection in pre-symptomatic plants in the accumulation or reduction of Ca, Mg, Mn, and K content as well as the accumulation or reduction of proteins associated with regulation/protein synthesis and general metabolism.
