Manipulation of Whitefly Behavior by Plant Viruses
Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci complex transmit hundreds of plant viruses belonging to the genera Begomovirus and Crinivirus, among others. Tripartite interactions of whitefly–virus–plant frequently occur during virus infection and transmission ...

Plant resistance against whitefly and its engineering
Plants face constant threats from insect herbivores, which limit plant distribution and abundance in nature and crop productivity in agricultural ecosystems.

Background Whiteflies are a global threat to crop yields, including the African subsistence crop cassava (Manihot esculenta). Outbreaks of superabundant whitefly populations throughout Eastern and Central Africa in recent years have dramatically ...

Until recently, squash has been the only cucurbit crop seriously affected by the B biotype of the sweet potato whitefly, also known as the silverleaf whitefly, because of the silverleaf disorder induced by feeding of the immature stages (nymphs). However,

RELATIONSHIP OF WHITEFLY INFESTATION TO VEGETABLES WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN AL-HASA, SAUDI ARABIA [PDF]
Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, was monitored on vegetable crops that grown in open fields for two growing seasons (summer and winter 2002/2003) by using yellow sticky traps.

Aboveground Whitefly Infestation Modulates Transcriptional Levels of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Jasmonic Acid Signaling-Related Genes and Augments the Cope with Drought Stress of Maize. [PDF]
Up to now, the potential underlying molecular mechanisms by which maize (Zea mays L.) plants elicit defense responses by infestation with a phloem feeding insect whitefly [Bemisia tabaci (Genn.)] have been barely elucidated against (a)biotic stresses. To

Evidence for a new species of whitefly: UCR findings and implications
The whitefly that caused over $500 million in damage to U.S. agricultural production in 1991 initially was referred to as a strain of sweetpotato whitefly.

A bacteriocyte symbiont determines whitefly sex ratio by regulating mitochondrial function
Summary: Nutritional symbionts influence host reproduction, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unclear. We previously found that the bacteriocyte symbiont Hamiltonella impacts the sex ratio of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.
