Bemisia: Bionomics and Management of a Global Pest
Bemisia tabaci (Gennedius) has distinguished itself from the more than 1,000 whitefly species in the world by its adaptability, persistence and potential to damage a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops in all six of the world’s inhabited continents. B. tabaci inflicts plant damage through direct feeding, inducement of plant disorders, vectoring of plant viruses and excretion of honeydew. This book collates multiple aspects of the pest ranging from basic to applied science and molecular to landscape levels of investigation. Experts in multiple disciplines provide broad, but detailed summaries and discussion of taxonomy, genetics, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behavior, eco...
Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV)
This book provides a comprehensive exploration of Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV), a Begomovirus of the Geminiviridae family, which has become a major threat to global horticultural and field crops. The chapters delve into various aspects, beginning with the virus's genome structure, biology, and molecular mechanisms of infection. It also covers host-pathogen interactions, virome dynamics, and the epidemiology of ToLCNDV, including vector dynamics and non-vector transmission routes. Advanced topics such as dsRNA, genome editing, nanotechnology, and biocontrol strategies for managing ToLCNDV are also included. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, plant pathologists, virologists, crop growers, and students interested in plant virus management and epidemiology.
The Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) Interaction with Geminivirus-Infected Host Plants
The book presents a chronology of events of B. tabaci and geminiviruses, and an overview within the Caribbean and Latin America. The pathosystems involving Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, Cotton leaf curl virus and the cassava mosaic viruses are discussed. Data is presented on amino acid concentrations influencing B. tabaci and thus serves the basis for holidic diets. The essential molecular techniques for B. tabaci identification and classification are included with factors to consider for appropriate applications; an essential working guide for graduate students and researchers in the molecular field. Excellent photos portray symptoms of geminivirus-infecting crops: tomato, cotton, cassava, legumes and cucurbits; an important guide for researchers and growers. The novel insecticides, their mode of action and specificity; emphasize the applications of these within IPM programs.
Insect-Plant Interactions
The authoritative overviews in this volume provide a wealth of practical information on current approaches to the study of insect-plant interactions. Methods described include direct behavioral observation; assays of host finding, oviposition, and feeding behavior of insect herbivores; post-ingestion physiological effects; measurement of food quality and sensory responses of insects to plant stimuli; chemical isolation and identification of active phytochemicals; evaluation of plant resistance to insects; and the biochemistry of allelochemic interactions.
