Abstract
Citrus is one of the top fruit crops worldwide. Citrus production faces many challenges such as diseases, insects, and abiotic stresses. Genetic improvement of citrus using conventional breeding is a lengthy, costly, and time-consuming process. Biotechnological approaches such as Agrobacterium-mediated transgenic expression, Citrus tristeza virus (CTV)-mediated transient expression and CRISPR-based genome editing have shown tremendous potential to improve citrus against different diseases. Here, we summarize the progress in generating disease-resistant/tolerant citrus plants via biotechnological approaches.
