Abstract Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) has caused serious damage to melon crops in many countries in recent years. It is exclusively transmitted by the notorious pest Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in a semi-persistent manner. Previous studies have shown that both persistently and non-persistently transmitted viruses can manipulate orientation and performance of vector insects through changing host phenotype to facilitate virus spread. However, as a semi-persistently transmitted virus, how CCYV affect vector B. tabaci in locating host plants by altering physiological traits of host plants is still unknown. In this study, we investigated B. tabaci visual and olfactory preference between healthy and CCYV-infected host plant Cucumis sativus. Volatile profiles of healthy and CCYV-infected C. sativus plants were analyzed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Initially, it was found that vector insects preferred to settle down CCYV-infected Cucumis sativus seedlings in free choice. The concentrations of total volatiles and terpenes in cucumber plants were notably decreased after CCYV infection, and especially, the concentrations of α-pinene, β-ocimene, α-farnesene, and nonanal, responsible for olfactory attraction of B. tabaci, dramatically reduced in CCYV-infected plants. Subsequently, we investigated the visual preference of B. tabaci to CCYV-infected and healthy host, and found that B. tabaci adults showed significant preference to CCYV-infected host. CCYV induced yellowing symptoms in host leaves may explain the visual preference of B. tabaci adults to infected hosts. This study indicated that visual cues could play a vital role in vector insects locating virus-infected host plants.

Hydrogen cyanide production by two pathogenic isolates of an unidentified basidiomycete was studied in shake culture in synthetic and natural media. Both isolates release HCN in infected host plants but one isolate (type A) failed to produce HCN in culture. Curves for growth and HCN production by the second isolate (type B) indicated that HCN is a product of autolysis and is not dependent on the provision of specific substrates in the medium.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]
