Beet yellows virus (BYV), one of the causal agents of virus yellows (VY) disease in sugar
beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris), induces economically important damage to the sugar …

Plant viruses are ubiquitous throughout plant communities, but research on viral impacts
largely focuses on crops. Little is known about how viruses influence wild plants in their …

Plant–virus interactions are affected by environmental conditions that determine plant
vulnerability to pathogens and the population dynamics of insect vectors. We hypothesize …

A two-year study was conducted in 2019 and 2020 to characterize the spatial distribution of
whitefly-transmitted virus complex (WTVC) in experimental and commercial yellow squash …

BACKGROUND Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) treatment of plants may affect the survival
and feeding preferences of herbivorous pests. However, comprehensive studies on the …

Vector-borne viruses can alter host-plant chemistry and thereby influence interactions
between plants and vectors, frequently in ways that enhance their own transmission …

The transmission of insect-borne viruses involves sophisticated interactions between
viruses, host plants, and vectors. Chemical compounds play an important role in these …
