The efficiency of an autodissemination technique in controlling adult whiteflies, Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on tomato, Solunum lycopersicum was investigated with previously identified potent fungal isolates Metarhizium anisopliae ICIPE 18, 62 and 69 under screenhouse or semi-field conditions. device inoculated dry conidia the M. isolates, while control insects ...

(Cell 184, 1693–1705.e1–e17; April 1, 2021) We failed to cite two relevant papers in the Discussion of our paper. Our study reports on horizontal transfer a plant gene whiteflies, allowing these insects neutralize common defense compounds. By demonstrating function we highlight evolutionary implications for plant-insect interactions and show potential findings pest control by silencing via gene...

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is one of the most destructive pests worldwide, and causes tremendous economic losses. Tobacco Nicotiana tabacum serves as a model organism for studying fundamental biological processes severely damaged by whiteflies. Hitherto, our knowledge how tobacco perceives defends itself against whiteflies has been scare. In this study, we analyze gene expression patterns in r...

Bemisia tabaci is a devastating agricultural insect pest worldwide, and B. MED (formerly biotype ‘Q’) threatens the production of horticultural economic crops in China as growing number cases insecticide resistance have issued, highlighting requirement for alternative methods measures management. In present work, toxicities eight popular chemical agents, including novel pyropene afidopyropen, o...

Parasitism by phloem-feeding insects, such as aphids and whiteflies, are widespread and often serious constraint on plant growth. Aphids successfully exploit a broad range of vascular plants. Despite the ubiquity of phloem feeding insects, in depth knowledge of plant defence and plantmicrobe interactions is still lagging. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the phloem sap protein...

The geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses containing single-stranded (ss) DNA in particles comprising two quasi-icosahedral units. Some are transmitted by whiteflies, others by leafhoppers. Comparisons were made of the genome organization and expression of cassava latent virus (CLV) and maize streak virus (MSV) and beet curly top virus (BCTV), each with distinct host range and insect vecto...
