"Citrus cancer" may be conquered, and the key lies

2025-05-09 16:46

On April 11, the authoritative natural science journal Science published the research results of Ye Jian's team from the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a cover article titled "Targeted MYC2 stabilization confers citrus Huanglongbing resistance". The study successfully analyzed the core molecular mechanism of citrus resistance to Huanglongbing and used artificial intelligence (AI) technology to screen out small peptides that can effectively prevent and control the disease. The reason why this achievement is so important is that it may solve a problem that has long plagued the entire agricultural industry.

Citrus Huanglongbing is known as the "cancer of the citrus industry". Huanglongbing, also known as citrus yellow tip disease and green fruit disease, is a disease caused by Gram-negative bacteria, and its pathogen belongs to the genus Bacillus. Countless citrus orchards have been left barren because of it, and the hard work of fruit farmers has been wasted. When Huanglongbing occurs, its symptoms are mostly mottled yellowing of leaves, deformed fruits into "red nose fruits"... causing systemic decline of plants, seriously affecting citrus growth, and causing an average annual loss of more than 10 billion US dollars in the citrus industry. And because the pathogen is difficult to culture in vitro, research has been hindered for a long time.

Recently, Ye Jian's team at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, found in an in-depth study of citrus Huanglongbing that small peptides can effectively regulate plant physiological functions and enhance plant immunity, and have great potential in the prevention and treatment of Huanglongbing. Black Energy is a fusion of similar cutting-edge scientific research results. After actual testing, it has the effects of disease resistance, stress resistance, quality improvement, and yield increase. The small molecule peptides it contains can enhance citrus' resistance to Huanglongbing.

"Black Energy" has multiple advantages. It is a patented product developed based on RVGA fermentation technology. It is a high-tech complex of small molecule active peptides and immune-type polypeptide nucleotides. The application effect is remarkable in field and cash crops. It can improve the root environment of crops, stimulate root growth, solve the problem of crop deficiency, and enhance stress resistance.

With this major discovery, a "defense war" to protect the citrus industry has entered a new stage. In the next step, Black Energy will set up a special research group to carry out in-depth multi-dimensional experiments and research to escort the healthy development of the citrus industry.
