Relative inhibition of insect phenoloxidase by cyclic fungal metabolites from insect and plant pathogens.
The fungal metabolite kojic acid, which is produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species fungi that may be pathogens of both insects and plants, was a significant inhibitor of phenoloxidase of different representative beetle and caterpillar insect species. Fusaric acid and picolinic acid, produced by Fusarium spp., were also significant inhibitors of phenoloxidase, while dipicolinic acid and ...
متن کاملInsect transmission of plant viruses: a constraint on virus variability.
Genetic diversity in viruses is shaped by high rates of recombination and is constrained by host defenses and the requirements of transmission. Recent studies of insect-transmitted plant viruses demonstrate highly conserved molecular motifs in viral genomes that regulate the specificity of insect transmission. In contrast, advances in our understanding of host plant response to virus infection ...
متن کاملHorizontal transmission of the insect symbiont Rickettsia is plant-mediated.
Bacteria in the genus Rickettsia, best known as vertebrate pathogens vectored by blood-feeding arthropods, can also be found in phytophagous insects. The presence of closely related bacterial symbionts in evolutionarily distant arthropod hosts presupposes a means of horizontal transmission, but no mechanism for this transmission has been described. Using a combination of experiments with live i...
متن کاملInsect tissue-specific vitellogenin facilitates transmission of plant virus
Insect vitellogenin (Vg) has been considered to be synthesized in the fat body. Here, we found that abundant Vg protein is synthesized in Laodelphax striatellus hemocytes as well. We also determined that only the hemocyte-produced Vg binds to Rice stripe virus (RSV) in vivo. Examination of the subunit composition of L. striatellus Vg (LsVg) revealed that LsVg was processed differently after its...
متن کاملPlant virus transmission from the insect point of view.
A lthough much is known about the proteins and processes within the plant cell required for efficient virus transmission, up to now, little was known about the requirements and mechanisms from the insect point of view. In this issue of PNAS, Uzest et al. (1) tackle that problem and trace the receptor for the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) movement protein to a protein imbedded into the chitin ...
