The Turnip Yellows Virus Capsid Protein Promotes Access of Its Main Aphid Vector Myzus persicae to Phloem Tissues.

Many plant viruses modify the phenotype of their hosts, which may influence the behaviour of their vectors and facilitate transmission. Among them is the turnip yellows virus (TuYV), which can modify the orientation, feeding, and performance of its main aphid vector, Myzus persicae. However, the virus factors driving these mechanisms have not been elucidated.

Comparative Metabolomic Analysis of Four Fabaceae and Relationship to In Vitro Nematicidal Activity against .

The grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), responsible for fanleaf degeneration, is spread in vineyards by the soil nematode . Nematicide molecules were used to limit the spread of the disease until they were banned due to negative environmental impacts. Therefore, there is a growing interest in alternative methods, including plant-derived products with antagonistic effects to .

Identification of Lipid Markers of Infection in Grapevine Using a Non-targeted Metabolomic Approach.

The Oomycete is responsible for downy mildew, which is one of the most damaging grapevine diseases. Due to the strictly biotrophic way of life of , its metabolome is relatively poorly characterized. In this work, we have used a mass spectrometry-based non-targeted metabolomic approach to identify potential -specific metabolites.

Family-based linkage and association mapping reveals novel genes affecting Plum pox virus infection in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Sharka is a devastating viral disease caused by the Plum pox virus (PPV) in stone fruit trees and few sources of resistance are known in its natural hosts. Since any knowledge gained from Arabidopsis on plant virus susceptibility factors is likely to be transferable to crop species, Arabidopsis's natural variation was searched for host factors essential for PPV infection. To locate regions of the genome associated with susceptibility to PPV, linkage analysis was performed on six biparental populations as well as on multiparental lines.
