Abundance of Rice Root Aphid Among Selected Plant Species and on Plants Grown With Different Soil-Surface Media [PDF]
The rice root aphid, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominalis (Sasaki), is distributed worldwide and colonizes a wide range of plants. However, relatively little is known about the suitability of different host plants, optimal rearing techniques, and the aphid’s ...

The role of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein in viral movement and symptom induction [PDF]
The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein is a counter-defense factor and symptom determinant. Conserved domains in the 2b protein sequence were mutated in the 2b gene of strain Fny-CMV.

First report of Potato leafroll virus, Potato virus A, Potato virus X and Potato virus Y in potato in Greenland [PDF]
Potatoes in Greenland are produced in the southwestern region, mainly along the fjords of the west coast between 60° N and 61.5° N. No production of certified seed potatoes has been established in the country and Greenlandic farmers use …

Beet Chlorosis Virus Infection Mitigates Aphid-Induced Plant Defences and Improves Plant Acceptability to Aphid Vectors. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plant viruses often alter host traits in ways that affect interactions with herbivores, potentially facilitating their own acquisition and transmission by insect vectors. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

A conditional silencing suppression system for transient expression. [PDF]
RNA silencing is a powerful tool deployed by plants against viral infection and abnormal gene expression. Plant viruses have evolved a suite of silencing suppressors for counter-defense, which are also widely used to boost transcript and protein ...

Introgression of the Rladg allele of resistance to potato leafroll virus in Solanum tuberosum L. [PDF]
Genetic resistance to Potato Leafroll Virus (PLRV) is polygenic, which hinders the obtainment of resistant cultivars. However, works carried out at the International Potato Center have identified an andigena accession, LOP-868, with high resistance level
