Application of Genomics for Understanding Plant Virus-Insect Vector Interactions and Insect Vector Control

Insect vector interactions with persistently transmitted viruses.

The majority of described plant viruses are transmitted by insects of the Hemipteroid assemblage that includes aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, planthoppers, and thrips. In this review we highlight progress made in research on vector interactions of the more than 200 plant viruses that are transmitted by hemipteroid insects beginning a few hours or days after acquisition and for up to the life ...

Plant Virus–Insect Vector Interactions: Current and Potential Future Research Directions

Acquisition and transmission by an insect vector is central to the infection cycle of the majority of plant pathogenic viruses. Plant viruses can interact with their insect host in a variety of ways including both non-persistent and circulative transmission; in some cases, the latter involves virus replication in cells of the insect host. Replicating viruses can also elicit both innate and spec...

Update on Ecological Genomics of Plant-Insect Interactions Ecological Genomics of Plant-Insect Interactions: From Gene to Community

A major challenge for current biology is to integrate research approaches that address different levels of biological organization, from subcellular mechanisms to functions in ecological communities. The study of plant-insect interactions provides interesting options for this. Ample information at the subcellular and the individual level is available on the one hand, while important insight in ...
