Increasing agricultural losses caused by insect infestations are a significant problem, so it is
important to generate pest-resistant crop varieties to address this issue. Several reviews …

Potyvirus is the largest genus of plant viruses causing significant losses in a wide range of
crops. Potyviruses are aphid transmitted in a nonpersistent manner and some of them are …

Aphids transmit viruses and are destructive crop pests. Plants that have been attacked by
aphids release volatile compounds to elicit airborne defence (AD) in neighbouring plants …

The transmission of insect-borne plant pathogens, including viruses, bacteria,
phytoplasmas, and fungi depends upon the abundance and behavior of their vectors. These …

Hemipterans (such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers) are some of the most devastating
insect pests due to the numerous plant pathogens they transmit as vectors, which are …

The pathological importance of mixed viral infections in plants might be underestimated
except for a few well-characterized synergistic combinations in certain crops. Considering …

Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses
in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are …

Aphids are amongst the most damaging pests of plants that use their stylets to penetrate the
plant tissue to consume large amounts of phloem sap and thus deprive the plant of …

Acquisition and transmission by an insect vector is central to the infection cycle of the
majority of plant pathogenic viruses. Plant viruses can interact with their insect host in a …

A pathogen may cause infected plants to promote the performance of its transmitting vector,
which accelerates the spread of the pathogen. This positive effect of a pathogen on its vector …
