Management of Insect Pests to Agriculture
Lessons Learned from Deciphering their Genome, Transcriptome and Proteome
Article
Pharmaceuticals remain in treated wastewater used to irrigate agricultural crops. Their effect on terrestrial plants is practically unknown. Here we tested whether these compounds can be considered as plant st...
Article
The simplicity of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) genome, encoding six proteins only, contrasts with the complexity of its impact on tomato plants. In this review, we discuss our understanding of how TYLCV ...
Article
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a begomovirus infecting tomato plants worldwide. TYLCV needs a healthy host environment to ensure a successful infection cycle for long periods. H...

Article
Cultured tomatoes are often exposed to a combination of extreme heat and infection with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). This stress combination leads to intense disease symptoms and yield losses. The respo...

Lessons Learned from Deciphering their Genome, Transcriptome and Proteome
Chapter
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...
Chapter
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...
Article
The spread of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) was accompanied by the formation of coat protein (CP) aggregates of increasing size in the cytoplasm and nucleus of infected tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cells...
Chapter
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...
Article
To discover genes involved in tomato resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), we previously compared cDNA libraries from susceptible (S) and resistant (R) tomato lines. Among the genes preferentially ...
Chapter
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...
Article
To identify genes involved in resistance of tomato to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), cDNA libraries from lines resistant (R) and susceptible (S) to the virus were compared. The hex...
Chapter
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
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...
Article
A reverse-genetics approach was applied to identify genes involved in Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) resistance, taking advantage of two tomato inbred lines from the same breeding program—one susceptible (...
Article
Transgenesis offers many ways to obtain virus-resistant plants. However, in most cases resistance is against a single virus or viral strain. We have taken a novel approach based on the ability of a whitefly en...
Article
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the viruses it transmits, are a major constraint to growing vegetable crops worldwide. Although the whitefly is often controlled using chemica...
Article
We have previously shown that the monopartite Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a begomovirus (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) infecting tomato plants can be transmitted in a gender-dependent manner...
