B-box (BBX) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and defense responses to biotic abiotic stresses. In this study, we cloned a BBX factor gene, CsCOL9I, from cucumber analyzed its role the plant’s against feeding of Bemisia tabaci. CsCOL9 is expressed throughout all developmental stages cucumber, with highest expression leaves. induced by B. tabaci feeding, salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Cucumber plants silence...
Bemisia tabaci is a major agricultural pest that affects both greenhouse and field crops by feeding on plant sap, which impairs growth, secreting honeydew, promotes sooty mold growth further reduces photosynthesis. Additionally, these insects are vectors for viruses such as the cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), causes significant damage to crops. Traditional chemical pesticide treatments have limitations, including development of resistance, harm non-target organisms, environmental...
Synthetic insecticides used to control Bemisia tabaci include organophosphorus, pyrethroids, insect growth regulators, nicotinoids, and neonicotinoids. Among these, neonicotinoids have been continuously, which has led the emergence of high-level resistance this class chemical in whitefly, making whitefly management difficult. The adipokinetic hormone gene (AKH) reactive oxygen species (ROS) play roles development resistance. Therefore, AKH ROS imidacloprid Mediterranean (MED; formerly...
