Potato is an important vegetable crop in Jordan, occupying second position after olives. In 2012, potatoes were planted on ∼6000 ha with a production of ∼141 000 t. Potato virus Y (PVY) is a serious problem for potato production worldwide. Recombinant strains of the virus were reported to cause...

Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) is one of the most devastating viral diseases affecting tomato crops in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of the world. Here, we focus on the interactions through recombination between the different begomovirus species causing TYLCD, provide an...

Some (perhaps all) plant viruses transmitted in a circulative manner by their insect vectors avoid destruction in the haemolymph by interacting with GroEL homologues, ensuring transmission. We have previously shown that the phloem-limited begomovirus tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) interacts ...

To avoid destruction in the haemolymph of their vector, many plant circulative viruses interact with GroEL homologues produced by insect endosymbiotic bacteria. We have exploited this phenomenon to devise tools allowing trapping of plant viruses by either GroEL purified from the whitefly Bemisia...

We have reported previously that Tomato yellow leaf curl virus from Israel (TYLCV) penetrates the reproductive system of its vector, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci biotype B, and may be transmitted to progeny [9]. In order to mimic this phenomenon and to understand how TYLCV accompanies the...

The association between tomato yellow leaf curl bigeminivirus (TYLCV, Israeli isolate) and its insect vector, B. tabaci, was investigated. Insects that emerged during a 24 h period were caged with TYLCV-infected tomatoes for a 48 h acquisition access period. They were then caged with aubergines...

It was shown that B. tabaci can acquire A. tumefaciens from liquid cultures and from crown galls and transmit it to plants. Cloned tomato yellow leaf curl bigeminivirus (TYLCV) DNA and A. tumefaciens tumour-inducing functions were used as reporter genes. Whiteflies were fed through membranes on...

The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)-transmitted tomato yellow leaf curl geminivirus (TYLCV) is a major pathogen of tomatoes. The wild tomato species Lycopersicon chilense (LA1969), which is resistant to the virus, was crossed to the cultivated tomato, L. esculentum (M82-1-8). The BC1 selfed (BC1S1)...
