    Abstract:
    Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the most serious citrus diseases in the world. Rapid, onsite, and accurate field detection of HLB is a challenging task in analytical science for a long time. Herein, we have developed a novel HLB detection method that combines headspace solid phase microextraction with portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PGC-MS) approach for onsite field detection of volatile metabolites of citrus leaves. Detectability and characteristics of HLB-affected metabolites from leaves were validated, and the important biomarkers were verified by authentic compounds. A machine learning approach based on random forest algorithm is established to model the volatile metabolites from healthy, symptomatic, and asymptomatic citrus leaves. In this work, a total of 147 citrus leaf samples were analyzed. Analytical performances of this newly developed method were investigated by in-field detection of various volatile metabolites. Results demonstrated limits of detection and quantification of 0.04-0.12 and 0.17-0.44 ng/mL for different metabolites, respectively. Linear calibration curves of various metabolites were established over a concentration dynamic range of at least three orders (R2 > 0.96). Good reproducibility was obtained for intraday (3.0-17.5%, n = 6) and interday precision (8.7-18.2%, n = 7). This new HLB field detection method provides a rapid detection with 6 min for each sample via a simple optimized procedure, including onsite sampling, PGC-MS analysis, and data process and provides a high accuracy (93.3%) for simultaneous identification of healthy, symptomatic, and asymptomatic trees. These data support the use of this new method for reliable field detection of HLB. Furthermore, metabolic pathways of HLB-affected metabolites were also proposed. Overall, our results not only provide a rapid and onsite field HLB detection method but also provide valuable information for understanding metabolic change of HLB infection.
