| phylogeography of anastrepha obliqua inferred with mtdna sequencing. | anastrepha obliqua (macquart) (diptera: tephritidae), the west indian fruit fly, is a frugivorous pest that occasionally finds its way to commercial growing areas outside its native distribution. it inhabits areas in mexico, central and south america, and the caribbean with occasional infestations having occurred in the southern tier states (california, florida, and texas) of the united states. this fly is associated with many plant species and is a major pest of mango and plum. we examine the g ... | 2012 | 23356081 |
| silencing of the host factor eif(iso)4e gene confers plum pox virus resistance in plum. | plum pox virus (ppv) causes the most economically-devastating viral disease in prunus species. unfortunately, few natural resistance genes are available for the control of ppv. recessive resistance to some potyviruses is associated with mutations of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e (eif4e) or its isoform eif(iso)4e. in this study, we used an rna silencing approach to manipulate the expression of eif4e and eif(iso)4e towards the development of ppv resistance in prunus species. the eif4 ... | 2013 | 23382802 |
