| infection rates and comparative population dynamics of peregrinus maidis (hemiptera: delphacidae) on corn plants with and without symptoms of maize mosaic virus (rhabdoviridae: nucleorhabdovirus) infection. | we examined the population dynamics of the corn planthopper peregrinus maidis (ashmead) (hemiptera: delphacidae) throughout a cycle of corn (zea mays l.) production on plants with or without symptoms of maize mosaic virus (mmv) (rhabdoviridae: nucleorhabdovirus) infection. our results indicate that the timing of mmv plant infection greatly influenced the planthopper's host plant colonization patterns. corn plants that expressed symptoms of mmv infection early in the crop cycle (28 d after planti ... | 2013 | 24331606 |
| influence of the corn resistance gene mv on the fitness of peregrinus maidis (hemiptera: delphacidae) and on the transmission of maize mosaic virus (rhabdoviridae: nucleorhabdovirus). | crops that are resistant to pests and pathogens are cost-effective for the management of pests and diseases. a corn (zea mays l.) breeding program conducted in hawaii has identified a source of heritable resistance to maize mosaic virus (mmv) (rhabdoviridae: nucleorhabdovirus). this resistance is controlled by the gene mv, which has been shown to have a codominant action. to date, no studies have examined whether the resistance associated with this gene affects only mmv or whether it also affect ... | 2013 | 24020306 |
