摘要：Background'Parson Brown' sweet orange is an early-maturing variety and is considered a resilient tree in the face of Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening) disease. Its ability to maintain productivity under endemic HLB conditions has demonstrated its value for growers battling this devastating disease. This study compared the metabolomic profile, transcriptomic analysis, and physiological responses of three early-maturing sweet oranges: 'Hamlin', 'Roble', and 'Parson Brown'.ResultsHealthy greenhouse-grown trees were propagated and exposed to 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' via psyllid infestation. We recorded a decrease of landed psyllids on 'Parson Brown' (20.58%) compared to 'Hamlin' (34.38%) and 'Roble' (45.04%), in addition to a lower 'Ca. L. asiaticus' titer in 'Parson Brown'. Transcriptomic profiling indicated cultivar-specific expression patterns, with 'Parson Brown' showing strong upregulation of genes involved in terpenoid and flavonoid biosynthesis. Infected 'Parson Brown' trees exhibited significantly higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents, lower ROS and H2O2 levels, and enhanced expression of antioxidant-related genes. Volatile analysis revealed distinct profiles in 'Parson Brown', including elevated levels of certain monoterpenes, which may contribute to reduced vector attraction.ConclusionThe tolerance of 'Parson Brown' is driven by a multifaceted defense response, emphasizing the value of traditional breeding in combining diverse resistance traits from parental lines.
