Begomoviruses are vectored in a circulative persistent manner by the whitefly Bemisia
tabaci. The insect ingests viral particles with its stylets. Virions pass along the food canal and …

The family Geminiviridae includes plant-infecting viruses whose genomes are composed of
one or two circular non-enveloped ssDNAs (+) of about 2.5–5.2 kb each in size. These …

Of the approximately 1,200 plant virus species that have been described to date, nearly one-
third are single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses, and all are transmitted by insect vectors …

Many plant viruses depend on insect vectors for their transmission and dissemination. The
whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the most important virus vectors …

Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) are insects containing genes of bacterial origin with
putative functions in peptidoglycan (PGN) metabolism. Of these, rlpA1-5, amiD, and ldcA are …

This review provides a synopsis of transcriptional responses pertaining to interactions
between plant viruses and the insect vectors that transmit them in diverse modes. In the …

NAC transcription factors (TFs) belong to plant-specific TFs, which have been identified in
many plant species. The NAC TFs act as the nodes of a regulatory network in plant's …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a begomovirus transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia
tabaci. The circulative translocation of the virus in the insect is known in its broad line …

Whiteflies cause considerable losses to crops, directly by feeding, and indirectly by
transmission of viruses. The current control methods consist of a combination of different …

Abstract Background Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) are phloem sap-sucking pests that because
of their broad host range and ability to transmit viruses damage crop plants worldwide. B …
