Insect-associated microbiomes constitute a crucial component of the insect physiological fitness, with potential implications for performance pest vectors, and consequently, crop health. However, effects transition between host plants feeding on virus-infected remain unclear. In this study, we examined bacterial community structure composition cotton-melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, in response to different cucurbit species melon-infected either persistent (Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows...
Abstract Broad bean wilt virus 1 ( BBWV ‐1) is transmitted by several aphid species in a non‐persistent manner. Transmission efficiency vectors key factor for understanding epidemiology and applying disease control measures based on limiting spread. We evaluated the transmission rates of two genetically divergent ‐1 isolates PV ‐132 from USA Ben Spain) infecting broad Vicia faba L.) isofemale lines nine eight different genera collected Spain. Our analyses showed that: (a) concentration...
Abstract Viruses cause significant damage in agricultural crops worldwide. Disease management requires sensitive and specific tools for virus detection identification. Also, techniques need to be rapid keep pace with the continuous emergence of new viral diseases. The genus Fabavirus is composed five viruses infecting many economically important This research describes development a procedure based on flow‐through hybridisation ( FTH ), which faster than as conventional tissue‐prints from...
The production of plant helical virus-like particles (VLPs) via plant-based expression has been problematic with previous studies suggesting that an RNA scaffold may be necessary for their efficient production. To examine this, we compared the accumulation VLPs from two potexviruses, papaya mosaic virus and alternanthera (AltMV), when coat proteins were expressed a replicating potato X- based vector (pEff) non-replicating (pEAQ-HT). Significantly greater quantities could purified pEff was...
The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network composed of filamentous polymers and regulatory proteins that provide flexible structural scaffold to the cell plays fundamental role in developmental processes. Mutations alter spatial orientation cortical microtubule (MT) array plants are known cause important changes pattern wall synthesis phenotypes; however, consequences such alterations on other MT-network-associated functions cytoplasm not known. In vivo observations suggested MTs formation...
Tomato marchitez virus (ToMarV; synonymous with apex necrosis virus) is a positive-strand RNA in the genus Torradovirus within family Secoviridae. ToMarV an emergent whitefly-transmitted that causes important diseases tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Mexico. Here, genome sequence of isolate M (ToMarV-M) was determined. We engineered full-length cDNA clones ToMarV-M genomic (RNA1 and RNA2), separately, into binary vector. Coinfiltration both triggered systemic infections Nicotiana benthamiana,...
Tomato apex necrosis virus (ToANV, species marchitez virus, genus Torradovirus, family Secoviridae) causes a severe tomato disease in Mexico. One distinctive feature of torradoviruses compared with other members the Secoviridae is presence an additional open reading frame (ORF) genomic RNA2 (denominated RNA2-ORF1), located upstream ORF2. RNA2-ORF2 encodes polyprotein that processed into putative movement protein and three capsid proteins (CPs). The RNA2-ORF1 has homologues only amongst and,...
Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) is an emerging on cucurbits in the Mediterranean Basin, against which few resistance sources are available, particularly melon. The melon accession PI 164323 displays complete to isolate CVYV-Esp, and HSD 2458 presents a tolerance, i.e., very mild symptoms despite accumulation inoculated plants. controlled by dominant allele Cvy-11, while tolerance recessive cvy-2, independent from Cvy-11. Before introducing or commercial cultivars through long breeding...
