Aphid stylin cuticular proteins contribute to turnip mosaic virus (Potyvirus) transmission

Hundreds of plant viruses are transmitted by aphid vectors, among which non-circulative ones are acquired and inoculated from one host to another within seconds.

Hundreds of plant viruses are transmitted by aphid vectors, among which non-circulative ones are acquired and inoculated from one host to another within seconds. These viruses are retained on receptors located at the surface of the cuticle of aphid mouthparts. Members of the…
