Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Assessment of beet leaf yellowing virus tolerance based on leaf yellowing in sugar beet
Abstract Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) production in Japan faces major challenges from virus yellows (VY), caused by beet leaf yellowing virus (BLYV) and transmitted by aphids. Outbreaks have reduced sugar yields, and breeding for tolerant varieties has not been conducted in Japan. This study marks the first step toward developing VY‐tolerant varieties by

Potato leafroll virus reduces Buchnera aphidocola titer and alters vector transcriptome responses
Viruses in the Luteoviridae family, such as Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), are transmitted by aphids in a circulative and nonpropagative mode. This means the virions enter the aphid body through the gut when they feed from infected plants and then the ...

Abstract Viral pathogens adversely affect wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) development and are responsible for significant wheat yield losses. Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is one of the most serious worldwide virus threats to cereal crops. Soil‐borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) has been present in the Great Plains and responsible for wheat damage for ...
