Delivery of Rice Gall Dwarf Virus Into Plant Phloem by Its Leafhopper Vectors Activates Callose Deposition to Enhance Viral Transmission [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV) and its leafhopper vector Recilia dorsalis are plant phloem-inhabiting pests. Currently, how the delivery of plant viruses into plant phloem via piercing-sucking insects modulates callose deposition to promote viral ...

Discovery and Genomic Analysis of Three Novel Viruses in the Order Mononegavirales in Leafhoppers [PDF]

Viruses
Leafhoppers are economically important pests and may serve as vectors for pathogenic viruses that cause substantial crop damage. In this study, using deep transcriptome sequencing, we identified three novel viruses within the order Mononegavirales ...

An insect symbiotic virus promotes the transmission of a phytoarbovirus via inhibiting E3 ubiquitin ligase Sina. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Co-infection with symbiotic viruses and arboviruses with synergistic effects in insect vectors are common in nature, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Emerging Viral Threats in Rice: A Decade of Discovery and Implications for Crop Protection. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Rice viral diseases pose severe threats to global food security, with over 20 viruses identified in China alone. The advent of high‐throughput sequencing has accelerated the discovery of novel viruses in cultivated and wild rice, unveiling previously undetected threats.

Insect I-Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.

Comparative Analysis of Mitogenomes in Leafhopper Tribe Deltocephalini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae): Structural Conservatism and Phylogeny. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we sequenced the complete mitogenomes of 14 species belonging to four genera of tribe Deltocephalini from China and compared them with the two previously reported mitogenomes for this tribe. Phylogenetic analysis of different combinations of protein‐coding and ribosomal genes using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference under ...

Rice stripe mosaic virus M protein antagonizes G-protein-induced antiviral autophagy in insect vectors. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
In the field, 80% of plant viruses are transmitted by insect vectors. When ingested by a sap-sucking insect such as Recilia dorsalis, persistently transmitted viruses such as rice stripe mosaic virus (RSMV) infect the gut epithelium and eventually pass ...

Plant viruses exploit insect salivary GAPDH to modulate plant defenses [PDF]

Nature Communications
Salivary proteins of insect herbivores can suppress plant defenses, but the roles of many remain elusive. One such protein is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from the saliva of the Recilia dorsalis (RdGAPDH) leafhopper, which is known to

Reoviruses hijack the SMARCB1-MYC transcriptional regulation complex to activate autophagy for persistent viral infection in leafhopper vector. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Autophagy plays a crucial role in virus-host interactions, as viral components and particles can be degraded by the host's autophagic machinery. Additionally, some viruses can hijack autophagy for their own benefit. However, the mechanisms underlying the

Plant Virus-Induced Inheritable Apoptosis Drives Reproductive Costs in Female Insect Vectors to Balance Viral Biparental Transmission. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), transmitted biparentally by leafhopper vector to their offspring, exploits the capsid protein to induce inheritable ovarian apoptosis via insulin‐driven PI3K/AKT/FoxO signaling axis. This mechanism enhances infection but reduces female reproductive fitness, causing inefficient maternal transmission.
