Cotton leaf curl Multan virus differentially regulates innate antiviral immunity of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) vector to promote cryptic species-dependent virus acquisition.

ABSTRACT: Begomoviruses represent the largest group of economically important, highly pathogenic, DNA plant viruses that contribute a substantial amount of global crop disease burden. The exclusive transmission of begomoviruses by whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) requires them to interact and efficiently manipulate host responses at physiological, biological and molecular scales. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying complex begomovirus-whitefly interactions that consequently substantiate efficient virus transmission largely remain unknown. Previously, we found that whitefly Asia II 7 cryptic species can efficiently transmit cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMuV) while MEAM1 cryptic species is a poor carrier and incompetent vector of CLCuMuV. To investigate the potential mechanism/s
