Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

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.

The impact of insecticides and plant extracts on the suppression of insect vector (Bemisia tabaci) of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV).

PLoS ONE, 2021
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) is an important constraint in successful production of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) in many countries, including Pakistan. The MYMV spreads by insect vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius).

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

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
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.

Direct evidence for the semipersistent transmission of Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus by a whitefly vector [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractCucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) (genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) is an emerging plant virus, and is now spreading and causing severe economic losses to cucurbit crops in many Asian countries. CCYV is believed to be transmitted specifically by the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, in a semipersistent manner.

The βC1 protein encoded in betasatellites promotes begomovirus-whitefly coexistence by subverting vector infestation-induced plant antiviral defenses.

PLoS Pathogens
The transmission of many plant viruses depends on arthropod vectors, which acquire viruses while feeding on infected plants and subsequently inoculate un-infected hosts.

Transcriptional Modulation of Plant Defense Genes by a Bipartite Begomovirus Promotes the Performance of Its Whitefly Vector

Viruses
The majority of plant viruses rely on insect vectors for inter-plant transmission. Amid virus transmission, vector-borne viruses such as begomoviruses may significantly modulate host plants in various ways and, in turn, plant palatability to insect ...

ICAG‐Net: An Interactive CNN–Transformer Architecture With Attention‐Guided Gated Fusion for Crop Disease Detection

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents an AI‐driven approach to smart agriculture focused on early detection of crop diseases, especially fungal infections, to enhance food security. An ensemble model combining a Custom CNN for local feature extraction and a pretrained vision transformer (ViT) for global context analysis is proposed.

Rapid, Affordable, Collection and Analysis of Bioaerosol Viral Pathogen (Begomoviruses and Whitefly Vectors) [PDF]

, 2018
AbstractDetection of pathogens is critical to monitoring their distribution and spread, and is a key component in the prediction and management of disease epidemiology. Monitoring for pathogens as bioaerosols requires developing techniques which are sensitive, affordable, and time saving before they will have widespread impact.
