Open AccessTransmission of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus by Bemisia tabaci as Affected by Whitefly Sex and Biotype
Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest of vegetables and other crops worldwide. The most damaging and predominant B. tabaci biotypes are B and Q and both are vectors of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Previous r...

Open AccessBemisia tabaci Q carrying tomato yellow leaf curl virus strongly suppresses host plant defenses
The concurrence of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) with the spread of its vector Bemisia tabaci Q rather than B in China suggests a more mutualistic relationship between TYLCV and Q. Here, we investigated t...

Open AccessTomato yellow leaf curl virus alters the host preferences of its vector Bemisia tabaci
Bemisia tabaci, the whitefly vector of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), seriously reduces tomato production and quality. Here, we report the first evidence that infection by TYLCV alters the host preference...

Open AccessVirus infection of a weed increases vector attraction to and vector fitness on the weed
Weeds are important in the ecology of field crops and when crops are harvested, weeds often become the main hosts for plant viruses and their insect vectors. Few studies, however, have examined the relationshi...

Open AccessDifferential effects of an exotic plant virus on its two closely related vectors
Concurrent spread of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) with invasion of Bemisia tabaci Q rather than B in China suggests a more mutualistic relationship between TYLCV and Q than B. To assess this hypothesis, ...

The application of large volume airgun sources to the onshore-offshore seismic surveys: implication of the experimental results in northern South China Sea
Onshore-offshore seismic experiments were carried out for the first time in northern South China Sea using large volume airgun sources at sea and seismic stations on land. The experimental results indicate tha...

Lithospheric thermal-rheological structures of the continental margin in the northern South China Sea
Thermal structures of three deep seismic profiles in the continental margin in the northern South China Sea are calculated, their “thermal” lithospheric thicknesses are evaluated based on the basalt dry solidu...
