Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) or spotted wing Drosophila is a worldwide invasive pest of soft‐ and stone‐fruit production. Female D. suzukii lay their eggs in ripening fruit and the hatched larvae damage fruit from the inside, rendering it unmarketa...

Induction of aphid resistance in tobacco by the cucumber mosaic virus CMV?2b mutant is jasmonate-dependent. (2023)
Journal Article
Arinaitwe, W., Tungadi, T. D., Pate, A. E., Joyce, J., Baek, E., Murphy, A. M., & Carr, J. P. (2023). Induction of aphid resistance in tobacco by the cucumber mosaic virus CMV?2b mutant is jasmonate-dependent. Molecular Plant Pathology, 24(4), 391 - 395. https://doi.org/10.1111/mpp.13305

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is vectored by aphids, including Myzus persicae. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum 'Xanthi') plants infected with a mutant of the Fny strain of CMV (Fny-CMV?2b, which cannot express the CMV 2b protein) exhibit strong resistance a...

The Effects of Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Its 2a and 2b Proteins on Interactions of Tomato Plants with the Aphid Vectors Myzus persicae and Macrosiphum euphorbiae. (2022)
Journal Article

Viruses, 14(8), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.3390/v14081703

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a major tomato pathogen, is aphid-vectored in the non-persistent manner. We investigated if CMV-induced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other virus-induced cues alter aphid-tomato interactions. Y-tube olfactometry sh...

Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) are important pathogens of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a crop vital for food security in sub-Saharan Africa. These viruses are vectored...

BACKGROUND: Aphids, including the generalist herbivore Myzus persicae, transmit cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). CMV (strain Fny) infection affects M. persicae feeding behavior and performance on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Arabidopsis thaliana and cucu...
