ETHYLENE EMITTED BY VIRAL PATHOGEN-INFECTED PEPPER (CAPSICUM ANNUUM L.) PLANTS IS A VOLATILE CHEMICAL CUE THAT ATTRACTS APHID VECTORS

Ethylene emitted by viral pathogen-infected pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants is a volatile chemical cue that attracts aphid vectors

Plant viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens, and most depend on insect vectors for transmission between plants.Viral infection causes various physiological and metabolic changes in host traits, which subsequently influence the behavior and fitness of the insect vectors.Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), one of the most widespread pathogens in pepp
