The Past, Present, and Future of Wheat Dwarf Virus Management—A Review [PDF]
Wheat dwarf disease (WDD) is an important disease of monocotyledonous species, including economically important cereals. The causative pathogen, wheat dwarf virus (WDV), is persistently transmitted mainly by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus and can ...

Consuming alternative prey does not influence the DNA detectability half-life of pest prey in spider gut contents [PDF]
Background Key natural enemy-pest interactions can be mapped in agricultural food webs by analysing predator gut content for the presence of a focal pest species.

Identification of Markers Associated with Wheat Dwarf Virus (WDV) Tolerance/Resistance in Barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) Using Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]
Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) causes an important vector transmitted virus disease, which leads to significant yield losses in barley production. Due to the fact that, at the moment, no plant protection products are approved to combat the vector Psammotettix ...

F-actin dynamics in midgut cells enables virus persistence in vector insects. [PDF]
Biphasic dynamics of F‐actin mediated by the ADF–CP interaction may play an important role in controlling virus entry and the virus accumulation level required for persistent transmission while maintaining the health of the vector. Abstract Hemipteran insects that transmit plant viruses in a persistent circulative manner acquire, retain and transmit ...

Identification and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Wheat Dwarf Virus Resistance in Wheat (Triticum spp.) [PDF]
Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. As a major pathogen in wheat and other cereals, WDV causes high yield losses in many European countries.

Asymmetric interactions between barley yellow dwarf virus -PAV and wheat dwarf virus in wheat [PDF]
The deciphering of the epidemiology of a plant virus has long been focused on the study of interactions between partners of one pathosystem. However, plants are exposed to numerous viruses which lead to frequent co-infection scenarios.

Functional Transcomplementation between Wheat Dwarf Virus Strains in Wheat and Barley [PDF]
Wheat dwarf virus, transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus in a persistent, non-propagative manner, infects numerous species from the Poaceae family. Data associated with wheat dwarf virus (WDV) suggest that some isolates preferentially infect

Cool Headed Individuals Are Better Survivors: Non-Consumptive and Consumptive Effects of a Generalist Predator on a Sap Feeding Insect. [PDF]
Non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators are part of the complex interactions among insect natural enemies and prey. NCEs have been shown to significantly affect prey foraging and feeding.

Species composition of shoreline wolf spider communities vary with salinity, but their diets vary with wrack inflow. [PDF]
A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...

Could vectors' fear of predators reduce the spread of plant diseases? [PDF]
Predators influence the behaviour of prey and by doing so they potentially reduce pathogen transmission by a vector. Arthropod predators have been shown to reduce the consumption of plant biomass by pest herbivores, but their cascading non-consumptive ...
