contents Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees Geraldo José Silva‐Junior Thiago de Aguiar Carraro Rafael Angelo Gonçalves Smirne Rafaele Regina Moreira Nelson Arno Wulff Leandro Peña Rodrigo Facchini Magnani Takehiko Shimada Franklin Behlau Pest Management Science Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa , and citrus canker (CC), caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri , are among the most important diseases affecting citrus production worldwide, causing premature fruit drop, reduced market value, and trade restrictions. Previous studies demonstrated that reducing D‐limonene levels through genetic engineering and increasing monoterpene alcohol accumulation enhances resistance to these pathogens in controlled conditions. However, the effectiveness of this strategy had not been validated under field conditions. This study investigated field resistance to P. citricarpa and X. citri in fruit from genetically modified (GM) ‘Navelina’ and ‘Pineapple’ sweet orange trees ( Citrus  ×  sinensis L. Osb.) with downregulated CitMTSE1 and enhanced monoterpene alcohol content. RESULTS In both assessed seasons, results revealed a reduction of 45% in CBS severity on fruit of the GM ‘Navelina’ in comparison with non‐ GM ‘Navelina’ orange control. CBS symptom reductions were strongly correlated with lower D‐limonene concentrations and higher monoterpene alcohol contents in fruit peel of GM fruit. The GM ‘Pineapple’ orange lines showed more than 68% of reduction in incidence of CC affected fruit across the two seasons compared to non‐ GM ‘Pineapple’ orange, as it showed reduced D‐limonene content and higher monoterpene alcohol concentrations accumulated in the fruit peel. CONCLUSION The terpene modulation approach showed a potential strategy to increase field resistance against P. citricarpa and X. citri in citrus fruit. Further studies may investigate ways to enhance resistance rates by combining different strategies, thereby enabling the integration of genetic resistance into the management of these important citrus diseases. © 2025 The Author(s).
