Field Evaluation of Cucurbita Germplasm for Resistance to Whiteflies and Whitefly-transmitted Viruses [PDF]
HortScience, 2022 Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) is a major vegetable crop produced in Georgia and Florida during the fall season. This production is vulnerable to whitefly (Bemisisia tabaci Genn.)-transmitted viruses that lead to severe yield losses. Over the past several years, whitefly populations have increased during the fall, thus leading to an increase in ...

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021 A large number of insect-specific viruses (ISVs) have recently been discovered, mostly from hematophagous insect vectors because of their medical importance, but little attention has been paid to important plant virus vectors such as the whitefly Bemisia

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]
PLoS ONE, 2015 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

Exploring the effectiveness of methyl salicylate and attractive traps in dispersing and recapturing glasshouse whiteflies: advances in push-pull strategy. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciMethyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Spotlight on the Roles of Whitefly Effectors in Insect–Plant Interactions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The Bemisia tabaci species complex (whitefly) causes enormous agricultural losses. These phloem-feeding insects induce feeding damage and transmit a wide range of dangerous plant viruses.

Efficient Protein Expression and Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Plants Using a Crinivirus-Derived Vector. [PDF]
, 2018 Plant virus-based vectors are valuable tools for recombinant gene expression and functional genomics for both basic and applied research. In this study, Lettuce infectious yellows virus (LIYV) of the genus Crinivirus was engineered into a virus vector ...
