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

Plants emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds during infection by pathogenic
microbes, including terpenes, aromatics, nitrogen‐containing compounds, and fatty acid …

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 …

Since the discovery of Tobacco mosaic virus nearly 120 years ago, most studies on viruses
have focused on their roles as pathogens. Virus ecology takes a different look at viruses …

Plant viruses possess adaptations for facilitating acquisition, retention, and inoculation by
vectors. Until recently, it was hypothesized that these adaptations are limited to virus …

Plant viruses can produce direct and plant-mediated indirect effects on their insect vectors,
modifying their life cycle, fitness and behavior. Viruses may benefit from such changes …

The emerging literature has suggested essential oils (EOs) as new possible weapons to
fight antimicrobial resistance due to their inherent antimicrobial properties. However, the …

Attacks on plants by both viruses and their vectors is common in nature. Yet the dynamics of
the plant–virus–vector tripartite system, in particular the effects of viral infection on plant …

Herbivorous arthropods have interacted with plants for millions of years. During feeding they
release chemical cues that allow plants to detect the attack and mount an efficient defense …

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is one of the world's most important invasive crop pests, possibly
because it manipulates plant defense signaling. Upon infestation by whiteflies, plants …
