An Outbreak of a New Whitefly in Guam [PDF]

HortScience, 1995
The outbreak of a new whitefly was first reported in Summer 1993 at two sites in the southern part of Guam. Vegetable crops heavily damaged by this pest included cucumber, yardlong beans, and tomato. At present, the whitefly is found infesting tomato, eggplants, cucumbers, watermelon, and other vegetable crops throughout the island.

Corn Zein Nanocarriers for Agrochemical Delivery and Smart Packaging

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores zein, a corn‐derived biodegradable protein, as a multifunctional nanocarrier for sustainable agriculture and packaging. It examines advances in agrochemical delivery, smart packaging, and stimuli‐responsive systems, while addressing scalability, environmental fate, and regulatory barriers.

Implication of the Whitefly Protein Vps Twenty Associated 1 (Vta1) in the Transmission of Cotton Leaf Curl Multan Virus

Microorganisms, 2021
Cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMuV) is one of the major casual agents of cotton leaf curl disease. Previous studies show that two indigenous whitefly species of the Bemisia tabaci complex, Asia II 1 and Asia II 7, are able to transmit CLCuMuV, but ...

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Genome-wide analyses of cassava Pathogenesis-related (PR) gene families reveal core transcriptome responses to whitefly infestation, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid

BMC Genomics, 2020
Whiteflies are a threat to cassava (Manihot esculenta), an important staple food in many tropical/subtropical regions. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating cassava’s responses against this pest is crucial for developing control strategies ...

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 ...

The draft genome of whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1, a global crop pest, provides novel insights into virus transmission, host adaptation, and insecticide resistance

BMC Biology, 2016
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is among the 100 worst invasive species in the world. As one of the most important crop pests and virus vectors, B.
