a
CLas-infected field-grown mandarin (Man-Field) used as inoculum source for graft transmission of the pathogen.
b
MV, Citrus macrophylla (CM), and DG plants graft-inoculated using tissue from the source Man-Field.
c
Number of clones contained a particular number of repeats out of total clones sequenced.
