RESUMO
Asiatic citrus canker, caused by X. axonopodispv.citri (Xac), is one of the most serious phytosanitary problems in Brazilian citrus crops.The introduction of the citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella [CLM]), has resulted in an increase in the number of disease foci and has changed the spatial pattern of citrus canker symptomatic trees from strong aggregation to intermediate aggregation and random patterns. We evaluated: (1) susceptibility of three distinct leaf condition: intact leaves, mechanical wounding, and injury caused by CLM at the egg stage, 1st instar, 3rd instar, and pupal stage, inoculated at different concentration of Xac (101, 102, 104, and 106 cfu/ml); (2) susceptibility period of intact leaves, mechanical wounding, and CLM injury inoculated at 106 ufc/ml; and (3) effect of temperature (12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 42°C) and leaf wetness durations (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 h) on unwounded leaves inoculated at 106 ufc/ml. The minimum inoculum concentration to cause symptom development in intact leaves, CLM injury at the egg stage and 1st instar was 104 cfu/ml; in mechanically wounded leaves and CLM injuries at the 3rd instar and pupa stage, 102 cfu/ml. The injuries from pupa stage resulted in greater disease severity than other treatments at 106 cfu/ml (two times higher than in the intact leaf). Susceptibility period of CLM injury was six time longer than mechanical wounding and maximum observed susceptibility was three times higher than intact leaf. CLM is related to the amount of damage that exposes mesophyll cells to direct Xac infection, increasing the susceptibility of leaf for long period. Optimal temperature for development of citrus canker was 2535°C. However, disease severity was highest in the range 3035°C. Symptoms did not develop at 42°C and zero hour of leaf wetness duration. Effect of temperature was .greater than leaf wetness duration. The minimum wetness duration for Xac infection was as short as 4 h.
