Background Phloem-feeding insects can manipulate plant-induced resistance and are able
to suppress effective jasmonic acid/ethylene (JA/ET) defenses by the induction of inefficient …

Phloem-feeding whiteflies in the species complex Bemisia tabaci cause extensive crop
damage worldwide. One of the reasons for their “success” is their ability to suppress the …

The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci is an important and invasive crop pest in many
countries. Previous laboratory studies with Arabidopsis demonstrated that B. tabaci can …

Background The feeding of Bemisia tabaci nymphs trigger the SA pathway in some plant
species. A previous study showed that B. tabaci nymphs induced defense against aphids …

Abstract Changes in the levels of secondary compounds can trigger plant defenses. To
identify phenolic compounds induced by Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) …

The intimate relationships between plants and insects start with herbivory, which can be
traced back to approximately 420 million year ago. Like many other relationships, a plant …

Bemisia tabaci (whitefly) is a polyphagous agroeconomic pest species complex. Two
members of this species complex, Mediterranean (MED) and Middle-East-Asia Minor 1 …

The basal defenses important in curtailing the development of the phloem-feeding silverleaf
whitefly (Bemisia tabaci type B; SLWF) on Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) were …

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), B and Q
biotypes have caused severe losses to crops and vegetables through virus transmission …

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) causes serious crop
losses worldwide by transmitting viruses. We have previously shown that salicylic acid (SA) …
