AI‐Driven Discovery of Dual‐Function Peptides Stabilizes MYC2 to Combat Citrus Huanglongbing
Summary statement Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease faced by the global citrus industry. Zhao et al. recently identify an HLB susceptibility gene associated with HLB and, through AI‐assisted screening, developed anti‐proteolytic peptides that effectively prevent and control the disease, offering new strategies for citrus resistance breeding.
