electrophoretic karyotype of intracellular yeast-like symbiotes in rice planthoppers and anobiid beetles.chromosomal dna molecules of intracellular yeast-like symbiotes (yls) of three species of rice planthoppers and two species of anobiid beetles have been separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. probable chromosome numbers of nilaparvata lugens, sogatella furcifera, and laodelphax striatellus, were 4, 4, and 5, respectively, and tentative genome sizes were 17.3, 17.6, and 20.1 mbp, respectively, based upon migration of individual chromosome-sized dna relative to the size standards of schizo ...19957722339
phylogenetic position of yeast-like symbiotes of rice planthoppers based on partial 18s rdna sequences.the rice planthoppers, nilaparvata lugens, sogatella furcifera, and laodelphax striatellus, harbor intracellular yeast-like symbiotes (yls) in the fat body. the yls are obligated endosymbiotes and are transovarially inherited. nucleotide sequences of the 18s rrna genes from the yls were analyzed by direct sequencing. the yls of the three species of planthoppers were monophyletic and their taxonomic positions were in the class pyrenomycetes in the subphylum ascomycotina.19957787846
nonpathogenic nilaparvata lugens reovirus is transmitted to the brown planthopper through rice plant.nilaparvata lugens reovirus (nlrv) was found in a colony of the brown planthopper, n. lugens, an important plant virus vector. unlike with usual phytopathogenic reoviruses, there are no visible symptoms on a rice plant which has been attacked by nlrv-infected planthoppers. manner of transmission, host range, and multiplication of nlrv in rice plant were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or polymerase chain reaction using reverse transcriptase. nlrv was transovumly transmitted to about ...19957871743
infection density of wolbachia and incompatibility level in two planthopper species, laodelphax striatellus and sogatella furcifera.wolbachia, a bacterial endosymbiote of arthropods, causes cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci) in many insect species. ci traits were studied in two planthopper species, laodelphax striatellus and sogatella furcifera, and wolbachia densities in these planthopper species were calculated by quantitative pcr methods. the ci level of l. striatellus was quite high and even aged males strongly caused ci. in contrast, s. furcifera showed partial ci, and males lost their ability to cause ci with age. wolbac ...200111267910
insect symbiosis: derivation of yeast-like endosymbionts within an entomopathogenic filamentous lineage.yeast-like endosymbionts (ylss) of insects often are restricted to specific hosts and are essential to the host's survival. for example, in planthoppers (homoptera: delphacidae), endosymbionts function in sterol utilization and nitrogen recycling for the hosts. our study, designed to investigate evolutionary changes in the yls lineage involved in the planthopper association, strongly suggests an origin of the ylss from within the filamentous ascomycetes (euascomycetes), not the true yeasts (sacc ...200111371588
wolbachia infection shared among planthoppers (homoptera: delphacidae) and their endoparasite (strepsiptera: elenchidae): a probable case of interspecies transmission.wolbachia, a group of parasitic bacteria of arthropods, are believed to be horizontally transmitted among arthropod taxa. we present a new probable example of interspecies horizontal transmission of wolbachia by way of an endoparasite based on the conformity of wolbachia gene sequences. field samples of two rice planthoppers, laodelphax striatellus and sogatella furcifera possessed identical wolbachia. among three major endoparasites of planthoppers, a strepsipteran, elenchus japonicus, harboure ...200111555254

understanding the immune system architecture and transcriptome responses to southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus in sogatella furcifera.sogatella furcifera, the white-backed planthopper (wbph), has become one of the most destructive pests in rice production owing to its plant sap-sucking behavior and efficient transmission of southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) in a circulative, propagative and persistent manner. the dynamic and complex srbsdv-wbph-rice plant interaction is still poorly understood. in this study, based on a homology-based genome-wide analysis, 348 immune-related genes belonging to 28 families were ...201627805032
analysis of sogatella furcifera proteome that interact with p10 protein of southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus.southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) is transmitted efficiently only by white-backed planthopper (wbph, sogatella furcifera) in a persistent propagative manner. here we used a yeast two-hybrid system to investigate the interactions between the srbsdv- p10 and the cdna library of wbph. of 130 proteins identified as putative interactors, 28 were further tested in a retransformation analysis and β-galactosidase assay to confirm the interaction. the full-length gene sequences of 5 candi ...201627653366
single and fused transgenic bacillus thuringiensis rice alter the species-specific responses of non-target planthoppers to elevated carbon dioxide and temperature.the approval of transgenic bacillus thuringiensis (bt) rice by china was momentous for biotech crops, although it has yet to be approved for commercial production. non-target pest problems in rice paddies, such as the three ecologically similar species of planthoppers nilaparvata lugens, laodelphax striatellus and sogatella furcifera, could become increasingly serious under global climate change. fused (cry1ab/cry1ac) and single (cry1ab) transgenic bt rice were evaluated for effects on species-s ...201424136625
identification of himetobi p virus in the small brown planthopper by deep sequencing and assembly of virus-derived small interfering rnas.profiling and assembly of virus-derived small interfering rnas (sirnas) using next-generation sequencing technologies have been very useful for identification and diagnosis of a number of plant and invertebrate viruses. in this work, we have conducted high-throughput pyrosequencing and bioinformatic analysis of the small brown planthopper (sbph, laodelphax striatellus), and these analyses unexpectedly showed that the himetobi p virus (hipv) was present in our laboratory cultures. hipv was also f ...201424239755
the influence of sogatella furcifera (hemiptera: delphacidae) migratory events on the southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus epidemics.southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) caused serious rice losses. after the first outbreak in 2009 in northern vietnam and southern china, the virus ravaged crops again on enormous scales in 2010, but infections have decreased sharply since 2011. we presumed that the sudden epidemics and fadeout of srbsdv would be closely related to the migratory events of the insect vector, sogatella furcifera. this study sought the source area of srbsdv using the trajectory analysis method, and rev ...201728334380
virus altered rice attractiveness to planthoppers is mediated by volatiles and related to virus titre and expression of defence and volatile-biosynthesis genes.viruses may induce changes in plant hosts and vectors to enhance their transmission. the white-backed planthopper (wbph) and brown planthopper (bph) are vectors of southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) and rice ragged stunt virus (rrsv), respectively, which cause serious rice diseases. we herein describe the effects of srbsdv and rrsv infections on host-selection behaviour of vector and non-vector planthoppers at different disease stages. the y-tube olfactometer choice and free-choic ...201627924841
the speed of tubule formation of two fijiviruses corresponds with their dissemination efficiency in their insect vectors.rice black-streaked dwarf virus (rbsdv) and southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) are two closely related fijiviruses transmitted by the small brown planthopper (sbph) and white-backed planthopper (wbph), respectively. srbsdv has a latent period 4 days shorter than that of rbsdv, implying a more efficient spread in insect vector. currently, the mechanisms underlying this higher efficiency are poorly understood. however, our recent studies have implicated a role of virus induced tubul ...201627760544
asymmetric spread of srbsdv between rice and corn plants by the vector sogatella furcifera (hemiptera: delphacidae).plant viruses are mostly transmitted by sucking insects via their piercing behaviors, which may differ due to host plant species and their developmental stages. we characterized the transmission of a fijivirus, southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv), by the planthopper vector sogatella furcifera horváth (hemiptera: delphacidae), between rice and corn plants of varying developmental stages. srbsdv was transmitted from infected rice to uninfected corn plants as efficiently as its transm ...201627760223
tolerance and responsive gene expression of sogatella furcifera under extreme temperature stresses are altered by its vectored plant virus.southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv), a newly emerged fijivirus causing great loss to rice production in eastern and southeastern asian countries in recent years, is efficiently transmitted by a rice pest, white-backed planthopper (wbph, sogatella furcifera) in a persistent, circulative propagative manner and can be considered as an insect virus. in this study, srbsdv infection in wbph was found to increase the vector's death rate under extreme cold stress but improve its survival r ...201627531640
epg recordings reveal differential feeding behaviors in sogatella furcifera in response to plant virus infection and transmission success.plant viruses are primarily transmitted by insect vectors and virus infection may influence on the vectors' feeding behaviors. using an electrical penetration graph, we detected that infection with the southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (srbsdv) in the white-backed planthopper (wbph) and in rice plants both altered the vector's feeding behavior. when viruliferous wbph (carrying srbsdv) were fed on uninfected plants, they spent more time in salivation and phloem sap ingestion than non-virul ...201627492995
