Multiple plant viruses, including potato virus X (PVX), have been modified as vectors for expressing heterologous genes or silencing endogenous genes in plants. PVX-based vectors facilitate the functional analysis of genes in plant. However, they can only express one protein in a time. In this paper we report the construction of new vectors based on a 35S promoter-driven PVX infectious clone, pCaPVX100. Vector pCaPVX440 contains two additional subgenomic promoters and can be utilized to express two foreign genes at the same time. Plasmid pCaPVX760 is a CP minus vector and can be used to express foreign proteins through the gene substitution strategy. In addition, plasmid pCaPVX100 was engineered into a gene silencing vector (pCaPVX440-LIC) by introducing a ligation independent cloning (LIC) site into the vector. These results indicate that the newly developed PVX vectors are competent for multiple research purposes.

Bacterial soft rot causes major crop losses annually and can be caused by several species from multiple genera. These bacteria have a broad host range and often infect produce through contact with soil. The main genera causing bacterial soft rot are and , both of which have widespread geographical distribution.

Viral vector-mediated gene editing is enhanced for cultivated tomato under low temperature conditions, enabling higher mutation rates, heritable, and virus-free gene editing for efficient breeding. The CRISPR/Cas system, a versatile gene-editing tool, has revolutionized plant breeding by enabling precise genetic modifications. The development of robust and efficient genome-editing tools for crops is crucial for their application in plant breeding.

Wolbachia-infected and uninfected subpopulations of beet leafhoppers, Circulifer tenellus (Baker) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), co-occur in the Columbia Basin region of Washington and Oregon. While facultative endosymbionts such as Hamiltonella defensa have demonstrably altered feeding/probing behavior in hemipteran hosts, the behavioral phenotypes conferred by Wolbachia to its insect hosts, including feeding/probing, are largely understudied. We studied the feeding/probing behavior of beet leafhoppers with and without Wolbachia using electropenetrography, along with corresponding inoculation rates of beet curly top virus, a phloem-limited plant pathogen vectored by beet leafhoppers.
