The majority of plant viruses rely on Hemipteran vectors for their survival and transmission. Moreover, many viruses can manipulate their insect vectors. In this context, the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique is a valuable tool for understanding how plant viruses, such as the begomovirus tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), modify the probing and feeding behavior of piercing-sucking insect vectors like the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is widely grown worldwide, ranking first among vegetable crops. Root diseases of tomatoes can cause serious yield losses. In June 2023 and 2024, tomato root rot symptoms were observed in the greenhouse with 70%-90% incidence approximate number of plants (N=210) in Beizhen City (121°47 ' 30 ''E, 41°35' 45 ''N), Liaoning Province, China.

Plant cell-cycle regulators control the nuclear environment for viral pathogenesis.

Cell Host Microbe

February 2025

College of Horticulture Science and Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University, Tai-An 271018, Shandong, China. Electronic address:

The proper regulation of cell-cycle regulators is curial for both viral replication and host-plant adaptive growth during the viral pathogenesis. Mechanisms on reorchestrating RETINOBLASTOMA-RELATED 1 (RBR1), repressor of E2F transcription factor, and downstream genes in host-virus interactions are unclear. Here, we discover that anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) E3 ligase activator cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) in tomato binds RBR1 or mediates cyclin D1 depletion to preserve RBR1-E2F complexes, while geminivirus or crinivirus repurposes APC/C activities to liberate E2Fs in two ways: activating APC/C to deplete RBR1 or blocking APC/C to stimulate cyclin-D1-mediated RBR1 depletion.

In the current study, a modified solar dryer (SD) integrated automatic solar collector tracker (ASCT) was used for drying tomato fruit (TF) at three slice thicknesses of 4, 6, and 8 mm on both drying systems at three air speeds of 1, 1.5, and 2 m/s until reaching the equilibrium moisture content. Where the comparison study was conducted between the ASCT, and another SD integrated with a fixed solar collector (FSC).

Yellow-fleshed peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) are recognized as an excellent dietary source of carotenoids. The metabolic process of carotenoids in plants has been extensively characterized; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling carotenoid accumulation in peaches, particularly the transcriptional regulators upstream this process, remain poorly understood.
