Differential gene expression in aphids following virus acquisition from plants or from an artificial medium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poleroviruses, such as turnip yellows virus (TuYV), are plant viruses strictly transmitted by aphids in a persistent and circulative manner. Acquisition of either virus particles or plant material altered by virus infection is expected to induce gene expression deregulation in aphids which may ultimately alter their behavior.

Results

By conducting an RNA-Seq analysis on viruliferous aphids fed either on TuYV-infected plants or on an artificial medium containing purified virus particles, we identified several hundreds of genes deregulated in Myzus persicae, despite non-replication of the virus in the vector. Only a few genes linked to receptor activities and/or vesicular transport were common between the two modes of acquisition with, however, a low level of deregu
