Tospoviruses: Diagnosis, Molecular Biology, Phylogeny, and Vector Relationships
The disease known as "spotted wilt" was first described in Australia in 1 9 1 5 ( 16) and shown to have a viral etiology b y Samuel et al i n 1930 ( 14 1 ). Since that time, viruses similar or identical to the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) have been the cause of plant diseases epidemics in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions throughout the ...

Insect Vectors of Phytoplasma Diseases in the Tropics: Molecular Biology and Sustainable Management
Phytoplasmas are pleomorphic, non-culturable, wall-less prokaryotes that colonize phloem tissues of several plant species inflicting yellows-type diseases. They are transmitted between plants by vegetative propagation, and insect vectors are the chief means of dissemination of phytoplasmas.

A novel high resolution method for the separation of, both, linear and supercoiled circular plasmid DNA in the range of 3000–5600 bp is described. Employing ultradilute solutions of hydroxyethylcellulose (0.070–0.100% w/w) containing no intercalating agent, we were able to resolve plasmids as well as linear fragments with a size difference of about 100

Molecular Biology of Plant Virus-Vector Interactions
The movement of a virus from one plant host to another presents several special problems. Most plants are sessile and, thus, unless hosts are growing close enough to each other to have direct contact, virus transmission requires some agent. Most of the plant surfaces are covered with a cuticle and the cells are enclosed in walls made primarily of ...

▪ Abstract The field of medical entomology, by nature of its association with problems of human health, has been conservative in its application of molecular and computer technologies to systematic research. Recently, however, these methods have opened new interpretations for systematics of disease vectors.

Can molecular biology contribute usefully to vector control?
It is argued that further work in molecular entomology should be driven by the practical problems that vector controllers have, not by what molecular biologists can and would like to do. The usefulness is discussed of molecular approaches to (1) insecticide resistance, (2) identification of sibling species, sporozoites and the origin of infections ...

The Molecular Biology of Cauliflower Mosaic Virus and Its Application as Plant Gene Vector
The artificial introduction of new traits into living cells by means of molecular gene transfer techniques has been developed into a routine procedure, applicable to both prokaryotic and various eukaryotic organisms. For higher plants, nature itself has evolved an elegant and sophisticated gene transfer system in the Ti-plasmid of Agrobacterium ...
