Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the most destructive diseases in the citrus industry. At present,CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus (CLas) cannot be cultured in vitro, and there is a lack of rapid methods to test antibacterial activity, which greatly hinders the discovery of new antibacterial agents against HLB. To establish a rapid screening method for antibacterial agents against HLB with simple operation, a short cycle, and a large number of tests, theCLas contents in leaves from different citrus branches, different leaves from the same citrus branch, and two halves of the same citrus leaf were detected. Compared with the leaves on different branches and different leaves on the same branch, the difference inCLas content of the left and right halves of the same leaf was small; the difference was basically between 0.7 and 1.3. A rapid and efficient method for primary screening agents against HLB termed the “half-leaf method” was established through our long-term optimization and improvement. To verify the stability and reliability of the activity data measured using this method, 6-chloropurine riboside, which is highly soluble in water, was used as the test agent, and its antibacterial activity against HLB was tested 45 times. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed little difference in the mean values of each data group, indicating that this method could be used as a rapid method for screening agents against HLB. We used this method to test the antibacterial activity of compounds synthesized by our research group against HLB and found that some of the compounds showed good activity.
