The Role of Temperature and Precipitation on Thrips Populations in Relation to the Epidemiology of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus.
… spotted wilt virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, TSWV) in chickweed (Stellaria media), population growth of its? primary vector, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), on chickweed, and the timing and magnitude of F. fusca and Thrips tabaci Lindeman dispersal from winter hosts was characterized …

Studies on Transformation of Tomato(Solanum lycopersicum L.) and Arabidopsis thaliana using Chimerical constructs of varying Tospoviral Origin
… conserved viral genes. Given the severity of Tospovirus diseases worldwide (particularly in tomato), PDR has the potential to garner large yield returns where pathogen populations have overcome the established resistance. Tomato breeding lines FLA7804, FLA8044, and the research line MP1 were …

Tamarillo mosaic potyvirus: characterization and resistance
… was also determined. Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus was identified for the first time in tamarillo plants in New Zealand. TaMV RNA was purified from infected tamarillo leaves and a 1600 base pair cDNA clone generated to the 3'-terminus. The clone was sequenced and the location of the gene …

Influence of Tillage and Cropping System on Soil Quality and Crop Yield in North Carolina
… detriment to corn. Tomato spotted wilt virus (a Tospovirus) (TSWV) and Cylindrocladium black rot (Cylindrocladium parasiticum Crous, Wingfield, and Alfenas) (CBR) are important pests in peanut in North Carolina. Implementing integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for these pests in important …

Characterizing global gene expression and antiviral response in Frankliniella occidentalis infected with Tomato spotted wilt virus
… responses that occur in thrips vectors of orthotospoviruses, ii) the role of antiviral defense in viruliferous thrips, and iii) plant transgenic-based strategies for studying thrips gene function and crop-pest control. To this end, my specific research objectives were to: 1) generate, assemble, …

The effectiveness of biological control of Frankliniella occidentalis in prevention of the spread of Tomato spotted wilt virus
A two-year greenhouse experiment was conducted to compare the relative effectiveness of biological control versus chemical control for western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, as a means of reducing the spread of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) on tomatoes. To compare efficacy of …
