Serratia marcescens induces apoptosis in Diaphorina citri gut cells via reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidative stress.

accumulation, leading to severe changes and apoptosis in intestinal cells, which enhanced a higher mortality level of D. citr. This study identifies the underlying virulence mechanism of S. marcescens KH-001 on D. citri that contributes to a widespread application in the integrated management of citrus psyllid.
