Direct evidence for the semipersistent transmission of Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus by a whitefly vector
Cucurbit 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. In the present study, we provide direct evidence for the semipersi...
متن کاملCotton Leaf Curl Disease, an Emerging Whitefly Transmissible Begomovirus Complex
In recent years leaf curl disease of cotton has become a major limiting factor in the production of cotton, which is an important fiber cash crop. In the last two decades or more, leaf curl disease in cotton took on epidemic proportions in Pakistan. In the early 1990’s cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) appeared in the bordering parts of India in the states of Rajasthan and Punjab and spread to e...
متن کاملEnhanced Vitellogenesis in a Whitefly via Feeding on a Begomovirus-Infected Plant
BACKGROUND The MEAM1 (B biotype) Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is one of the most widespread and damaging whitefly cryptic species. Our previous studies discovered that the MEAM1 whitefly indirectly benefits from interactions with the tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) via accelerated ovarian development and increased fecundity. However, the physiological mechanism of begomoviruse-infec...
متن کاملA peptidoglycan recognition protein acts in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) immunity and involves in Begomovirus acquisition
Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are multifunctional pattern recognition proteins. Here, we report that a PGRP gene, BtPGRP, encodes a PGRP from the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (MEAM1) that binds and kills bacteria in vitro. We analyzed BtPGRP transcriptional profiling, and the distribution of the cognate protein within the midgut. Fungal infection and wasp parasitization induced expressi...
متن کاملA viral caspase contributes to modified apoptosis for virus transmission.
The Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus, a DNA virus that attacks lepidopterans, codes for an executioner caspase synthesized by 9 h after infection of Sf21 cells. This caspase alone induces apoptosis in insect cells and, during viral replication in vivo, contributes to a novel cell cleavage process in which developing apoptotic bodies are rescued by the virus and differentiate to form large vesicl...
