Vector-virus mutualism accelerates population increase of an invasive whitefly. [PDF]
The relationships between plant viruses, their herbivore vectors and host plants can be beneficial, neutral, or antagonistic, depending on the species involved.

Size reversion of a truncated DNAβ associated with Tobacco curly shoot virus [PDF]
Our previous results demonstrated that DNAbeta associated with Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) is not necessary for infection but intensifies symptoms in some hosts. To better understand the function of DNAbeta in virus infection, a betaC1 deleted infectious clone of the TbCSV DNAbeta was constructed. Agroinoculation showed that the truncated DNAbeta

Antioxidant Enzyme Responses Induced by Whiteflies in Tobacco Plants in Defense against Aphids: Catalase May Play a Dominant Role. [PDF]
Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Middle East-Asia Minor 1) feeding alters antioxidative enzyme activity in some plant species. Infestation of B. tabaci nymphs decreases Myzus persicae performance on systemic, but not local leaves of tobacco plants.

Defence-mediated phloem restriction of a plant virus facilitates insect transmission [PDF]
Plant viruses are causal agents of devastating diseases in crops and pose a threat to food security. Viruses transmitted by phloem-feeding insects are frequently restricted to the phloem; the mechanism determining this tissue tropism and its consequences

Geminiviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses that cause devastating diseases in many crops worldwide. The replication enhancer proteins (REn), encoded by the C3 (AC3, and AL3) ORFs of geminiviruses, have critical roles in viral DNA accumulation and symptom development in infected plants. In the current study, we have constructed an infectious clone of

Rescue of tomato yellow leaf curl virus mutants harboring heterologous iterons through in planta evolution [PDF]
The single-stranded, circular DNA genomes of geminiviruses contain iterated motifs of five to six nucleotides, known as iterons, upstream of the replication protein (Rep) coding region.

Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) is a monopartite DNA virus of the genus Begomovirus, which causes leaf curl symptoms in tobacco and tomato. The β satellite of TbCSV (TbCSB induces more severe symptoms and enhanced virus accumulation when co-infects the host plants with TbCSV.
