Citrus canker is a destructive disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, which affects all commercial sweet orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) cultivars. Salicylic acid (SA) and systemic-acquired resistance (SAR) have been demonstrated to have a crucial role in mediating plant defense responses against this phytopathogen. To induce SAR, SA is converted to methyl salicylate (MeSA) by an SA-dependent methyltransferase (SAMT) and translocated systemically to prime noninfected distal tissues. Here, we generated sweet orange transgenic plants (based on cvs. Hamlin and Valencia) overexpressing the SAMT gene from Citrus (CsSAMT) and evaluated their resistance to citrus canker. We obtained four independent transgenic lines and confirmed their significantly higher MeSA volatilization compared to wild-type controls.
