Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Preliminary Observations on Zelus obscuridorsis (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) as Predator of the Corn Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Argentina

Insects, 2015
The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an important corn pest in most of tropical and subtropical America. This leafhopper has a rich natural enemy complex of which parasitoids and pathogens are the most studied; knowledge on ...

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Dose‐Dependent Effect of Plant Volatiles on the Oviposition Preference of the Corn Leafhopper Dalbulus maidis

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major annual crop cultivated worldwide. In the Americas, the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a key pest of this crop, causing direct damage to plants through phloem feeding and indirect damage by transmitting phytopathogens.

Oviposition of the invasive two-spotted leafhopper on an endemic tree: Effects of an alien weed, foliar pubescence, and habitat humidity

Journal of Insect Science, 2004
The two-spotted leafhopper, Sophonia rufofascia (Kuoh and Kuoh), is an exotic pest from South-East Asia that attacks a wide variety of plant species in Hawaii.

‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’ Effector SECP8 Subverts Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Citrus Immunity via a Two‐Pronged Impairment of CsTCP15 Dimerization

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease caused by the unculturable bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), poses a severe threat to global citrus production. CLas secretes effectors to suppress host immune responses and facilitate its colonisation. Previously, the CLas effector SECP8 (CLIBASIA_05330) has been identified

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
