This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is an economically important plant virus dependent on insects (thrips) for transmission to plant hosts. Like many animal-infecting viruses, TSWV replicates in the cells of its insect vector. The virus is an emergent disease threatening food and fiber crops worldwide. The aim of this work was to develop novel control strategies against TSWV through a better understanding of the virus-vector interaction. Previously, the TSWV GN protein was shown to be the viral attachment protein, a molecule mediating attachment of virus particles to the midgut epithelial cells of vector thrips. The specific goals of my research were to further examine the utility of disrupting the virus-vector interaction for effective virus control by exploiting GN properties, and to track the route of TSWV in thrips using confocal microscopy. To achieve these goals, I expressed soluble and insoluble forms of GN fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) transiently and transgenically and examined their cellular localization in planta. GN::GFP recombinant protein localized to Golgi stacks throughout the cells as indicated by a punctate pattern or co-localization to a Golgi marker. In contrast, the soluble form of GN, GN-S::GFP, localized to the ER and apparently also to the cytoplasm. Virus acquisition and transmission assays with GN-S::GFP transgenic tomato plants demonstrated that transmission of TSWV by F. occidentalis was reduced by 35 to 100%. These results indicated that transgenic expression of GN-S in tomato plants may have the potential to prevent secondary spread of the virus. Novel features of the morphology of principal (PSGs) and tubular salivary glands (TSGs) of the insect vector F. occidentalis and of their infection with TSWV were described. The virus colonized different cell types and regions within the PSGs with variable intensity and distribution; and accumulated at the lumen of individual cells. The TSGs of F. occidentalis are proposed as a route for TSWV infection into the PSGs. The transgenic plants and the new knowledge of the virus vector interaction are promising tools to control TSWV and a model approach for the control of other vector-borne viruses.

Download or read book Towards Understanding Plant-Virus Interactions written by Marco Catoni and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a thrips-transmitted tripartite RNA virus with a broad panel of host plants including several Solanaceae, one of the most economically important plant families and the most valuable in terms of vegetable crops. TSWV is one of the major causes of crop losses in tomato and several other vegetables worldwide. The study of the interaction between plant and viruses, in a context that can occur in nature, will provide the knowledge to evolve new defence strategy in agriculture. In this work plant-virus interactions have been investigates with different approaches. Starting from a wide comparison on the gene expression profile on leaves and roots, the level of the main plant hormones involved in defence was measured and discussed. The interference in gene expression originated by the concurrent presence of TSWV and a fungal symbiont on the same host plant was also analyzed. This work should be useful for who is working on applicative development of crop defence strategy based on genetic, or who is interested to highlight the plant response to infection in a complex multi-organism context.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interactions between parasites and their vectors can cause profound changes in vector behavior, including changes that can enhance parasite transmission and alter trophic interactions. Parasite driven modification of vector feeding behavior is of broad adaptive significance, as vector borne parasite fitness relies on passage to a new host through vector feeding. We report for the first time, that vector infection by a plant virus alters feeding behavior. Here we show that infection with Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus), alters both the plant feeding behaviors and predatory behaviors of its omnivorous thrips vector, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande). Interestingly, the behavioral alterations reported herein are sexually dimorphic. TSWV infection altered the plant feeding behavior of male but not female thrips, and altered the predatory behavior of female thrips to a greater extent than male thrips. TSWV infection and cell-to-cell movement requires the inoculation of virus particles into a living, functional plant cell, therefore feeding behaviors that introduce virus particles into this type of environment are most likely to result in successful virus transmission. Male thrips infected with TSWV fed on plant material more than uninfected males, with the frequency of all feeding behaviors increasing by up to 3 fold. Importantly, infected males made almost 3 times more non-ingestion probes (probes in which they salivate, but leave cells largely undamaged), compared to uninfected males, thus increasing the probability of virus inoculation. F. occidentalis infected with TSWV also exhibited increased predatory behaviors and the presence and consumption of mite eggs as an alternative food source did not significantly alter vector plant feeding behaviors. Alteration to thrips predatory behavior is unlikely to be directly linked with increased virus transmission because increased predation did not affect plant feeding behaviors. Taken together these alterations to thrips feeding behaviors appear to be a compensatory response to alleviate detrimental effects of virus infection, as opposed to a direct manipulation of vector feeding behaviors to increase virus transmission. Furthermore, these finding shows an alternative pathway by which viruses can influence the structure of trophic interactions in food webs. Saliva is known to play a crucial role in insect feeding behavior and virus transmission. Currently, very little is known about the salivary glands and saliva of thrips. As a first step towards characterizing thrips salivary gland functions, we sequenced the transcriptome of the primary salivary glands of F. occidentalis using short read sequencing (Illumina) technology. We found 32,566 high quality contig sequences with an average size of 605 bp. A high percentage (57.29%) of contigs had no protein or nucleotide hits, but 13,275 contigs had significant BLAST hits (E-value (less than/equal to) 1.0E−6). We identified several genes that are likely to play a role in thrips feeding including: aldehyde dehydrogenases, metalloproteases, and glucose oxidase, which are likely to be involved in counteracting plant host defense responses; [beta] glucosidases and pectin lyases which are likely play a role in the extra-oral digestion of plant structural tissues; and [alpha] amylase, and [alpha] glucosidase while likely play a role in the extra-oral digestion of sugars. This is the first comprehensive study of a sialotranscriptome for any Thysanopteran species and provides a necessary tool to further our understanding of how thrips interact with their viruses and plant hosts.

This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It appears that a comprehensive and up-to-date book on the impact of virus diseases on the major crops in developing countries is now much needed, especially as there have been rapid advances in the biological and molecular characterization and detection of the pathogens and possible approaches for their control. On the other hand, the economic losses caused by many of these diseases are tremendous and much of the accumulated knowledge to diminish the crop losses has not filtered through, or cannot be applied. This book is focused on the important crops. Each chapter on a specific crop will include inter alia, geographical distribution, the viruses - symptoms, damage, detection - a brief description of the viruses concerned, and present and future ways for their control. Experts from India, Nigeria, UK, USA, France, Germany, Peru, Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Venezuela, Kazakhstan and Israel (many of them from the International Research Institutions) have contributed chapters to this book.

Download or read book Thrips Biology and Management written by Bruce L. Parker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrips (fhysanoptera) are very small insects, widespread throughout the world with a preponderance of tropical species, many temperate ones, and even a few living in arctic regions. Of the approximately 5,000 species so far identified, only a few hundred are crop pests, causing serious damage or transmitting diseases to growing crops and harvestable produce in most countries. Their fringed wings confer a natural ability to disperse widely, blown by the wind. Their minute size and cryptic behavior make them difficult to detect either in the field or in fresh vegetation transported during international trade of vegetables, fruit and ornamental flowers. Many species have now spread from their original natural habitats and hosts to favorable new environments where they often reproduce rapidly to develop intense damaging infestations that are costly to control. Over the past decade there have been several spectacular examples of this. The western flower thrips has expanded its range from the North American continent to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Thrips palmi has spread from its presumed origin, the island of Sumatra, to the coast of Florida, and threatens to extend its distribution throughout North and South America. Pear thrips, a known orchard pest of Europe and the western United States and Canada has recently become a major defoliator of hardwood trees in Vermont and the neighboring states. Local outbreaks of other species are also becoming problems in field and glasshouse crops as the effectiveness of insecticides against them decline.
