Silencing the ubiquitin-protein ligases gene (E3-UBR7) alters acquisition, replication, and transmission of groundnut bud necrosis virus by Thrips palmi.

Insect-borne plant viruses pose a serious threat to global crop production. Melon thrips, Thrips palmi Karny, transmits tospoviruses such as groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) in a persistent propagative manner. Identifying thrips genes that regulat…
