Interactions Between the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci and Begomoviruses: Biological and Genomic Perspectives
Begomoviruses are an emerging group of plant viruses, exclusively transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a persistent-circulative manner. Despite the economic importance of both, very little is known about...

The Involvement of HSP70 and HSP90 inTomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Infection in Tomato Plants and Insect Vectors
Cellular chaperones HSP70 and HSP90 are involved in Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection. TYLCV is a begomovirus transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci to tomato and other crops. In infected tomato...

Insect Symbiotic Bacterial GroEL (Chaperonin 60) and Plant Virus Transmission
GroEL is a multifunctional protein belonging to the conspicuous family of chaperones active in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. GroEL of Escherichia coli is a heat shock-like protein (Hsp60). It is involved in t...

Bemisia tabaci – Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Interaction Causing Worldwide Epidemics
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a begomovirus that threatens tomato production worldwide. TYLCV is transmitted in a circulative manner by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Once ingested, TYLCV wa...

The Whitefly Genome – White Paper: A Proposal to Sequence Multiple Genomes of Bemisia tabaci
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius 1889), complex (Brown et al. 1995) can cause extensive damage to crop and ornamental plants. Damage can be biotype specific, including induction of physiological disorders ...

Chapter
Mutualistic and Dependent Relationships with Other Organisms
Whiteflies in general – and Bemisia tabaci in particular – are involved in complex interactions with the host plant, various microorganisms and arthropods (herbivores and natural enemies). These relationships are...

Chapter
International Networks to deal with Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Disease: the Middle East Regional Cooperation Program
Management of this disease has mainly involved methods for reducing the vector population; and in many cases, this was primarily by the application of insecticides. Tomatoes with resistance to Tomato yellow leaf ...

Chapter
Biotic and Abiotic Stress Responses in Tomato Breeding Lines Resistant and Susceptible to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus
In the eyes of a tomato grower, resistance to TYLCV, as opposed to susceptibility, is defined by the absence of, or mild, disease symptoms, and acceptable yield. In resistant cultivars and breeding lines, the ...

Chapter
Interactions of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus with its Whitefly Vector
Whiteflies cause damages to many economically important agricultural crops because of their feeding habits and their begomovirus transmissions. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a genetically diverse group, which in...

The Chromosomal Assignment of Muscle-Specific Genes
Investigations during recent years indicate that the program of gene expression during the differentiation of the striated muscles is much more complex than had been suggested from earlier studies. It is now e...
