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...

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...
