[2] Research by the Citrus Research and Development Foundation posits the blight is caused by an endogenous plant pararetrovirus (EPRV). [3]
Citrus canker bacteria can enter through a plant's stomata or through wounds on leaves or other green parts. In most cases, younger leaves are considered to be the most susceptible. Also, damage caused by citrus leaf miner larvae (Phyllocnistis citrella) can be sites for infection to occur. Within a controlled laboratory setting, symptoms can ...
The plant pathogen enters wounds of the leaves, branches and roots. [1] Infection normally occurs during winter months, though the optimum temperature for pathogen growth is 25 °C. [ 3 ] The infectious unit is conidia that can be produced on withered twigs or borne on hyphae that reside on exposed woody surfaces.

A citrus tree expert reveals how to grow a lemon tree in a pot, including getting the plant to produce fruit.
It is especially resistant to cold, the tristeza virus, and the oomycete Phytophthora parasitica (root rot), and grows well in loam soil. Among its disadvantages are its slow growth—it is the slowest growing rootstock—and its poor resistance to heat and drought. It is primarily used in China, Japan, and areas of California with heavy soils. [1]
