Trans-kingdom interactions between viruses-plants-vector insects and viral disease epidemics
Plant viral diseases seriously restrict the yield and quality of crops.About 80%of the reported plant viruses are transmitted by vector insects.Elucidating the molecular signals and mechanisms of the trans-kingdom interactions between viruses,plants,and vector insects in the disease cycle of arbovirus is the foundation for more efficient control of arboviral diseases.The epidemic scope and intensity of viral diseases mainly depend on the two key steps of virus infection and transmission.With the continuous development of molecular biology,cell biology and various omics technologies,how plant viruses successfully infect host plants and how they efficiently spread through vector insects are constantly analyzed.This article mainly elaborates on the specific mechanisms by which viruses escape plant immunity,break through vector insect barriers and immunity,and directly or indirectly regulate their transmissions by vector insects.It demonstrates the powerful ability of arboviruses to manipulate host plants and vector insects to promote disease epidemics,and also reveals the molecular targets available for the prevention and control of arboviral diseases.
