| Popis: | In nature, a plant can be infected by multiple viruses simultaneously. However, the effects of coinfection on plant–vector interactions are less well studied. Two begomoviruses of the family Geminiviridae, Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV), occur sympatrically in China. Each of them is reported to increase the performance of whitefly vector via manipulation of plant traits. In this study, we examined the effects of coinfection by the two viruses TYLCV and TYLCCNV on plant–whitefly interactions, compared to that infected by a single virus. We found that plants infected by two viruses showed aggravated symptoms but the performance and preference of whiteflies were not altered significantly compared to singly-infected plants. Coinfection suppressed the transcription of genes involved in jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway in plants, but showed no significant difference to single-virus infected plants. These findings suggest that although TYLCV and TYLCCNV may synergistically induce plant symptoms, they did not manipulate synergistically plant-mediated responses to the insect vector. |
