Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Defender or accomplice? Dual roles of plant vesicle trafficking in restricting and enabling geminiviral systemic infection

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The vesicle trafficking system enables multidirectional cargo fluxes between endomembrane compartments. However, vesicle trafficking plays dual roles during pathogen infections. In plants, it mediates autophagic immune responses but can also be hijacked by pathogens to facilitate successful infections.

RESULTS OF THE THREE-YEAR MONITORING (2001.-2003.) OF TOBACCO WHITEFLY Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889), (HOMOPTERA: ALEYRODIDAE) IN CROATIA [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2004
The quarantine pest tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) was for the first time found in Croatia in 2000 on some culture and weed plants in greenhouses and in the open field in the area from Trogir to Omiš.

Transcriptome analysis of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 during feeding on tomato infected with the crinivirus, Tomato chlorosis virus, identifies a temporal shift in gene expression and differential regulation of novel orphan genes

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Whiteflies threaten agricultural crop production worldwide, are polyphagous in nature, and transmit hundreds of plant viruses. Little is known how whitefly gene expression is altered due to feeding on plants infected with a semipersistently ...

Loss‐of‐Function Mutation in CER2‐LIKE1 Reduced Accumulation of Cuticular Wax and Susceptibility to Thrips in Welsh Onion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
