Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and localization of a Rickettsia sp. in Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae).
Yuval Gottlieb,Murad Ghanim,Elad Chiel,Dan Gerling,Vitaly Portnoy,Shimon Steinberg,Galil Tzuri,A. Rami Horowitz,Eduard Belausov,Neta Mozes-Daube,Svetlana Kontsedalov,Moshe Gershon,Shunit Gal,Nurit Katzir,Einat Zchori-Fein +14 more
TL;DR: The vertical transmission on the one hand and the partial within-population infection on the other suggest a phenotype that is advantageous under certain conditions but may be deleterious enough to prevent fixation under others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotype-dependent secondary symbiont communities in sympatric populations of Bemisia tabaci.
Elad Chiel,Yuval Gottlieb,Einat Zchori-Fein,Netta Mozes-Daube,Nurit Katzir,Moshe Inbar,Murad Ghanim +6 more
TL;DR: The association found between whitefly biotypes and secondary symbionts suggests a possible contribution of these bacteria to host characteristics such as insecticide resistance, host range, virus transmission and speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal transmission of the insect symbiont Rickettsia is plant-mediated.
Ayelet Caspi-Fluger,Moshe Inbar,Netta Mozes-Daube,Nurit Katzir,Vitaly Portnoy,Eduard Belausov,Martha S. Hunter,Einat Zchori-Fein +7 more
TL;DR: Plants can serve as a reservoir for horizontal transmission of Rickettsia, a mechanism which may explain the occurrence of phylogenetically similar symbionts among unrelated phytophagous insect species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branched-chain and aromatic amino acid catabolism into aroma volatiles in Cucumis melo L. fruit
Itay Gonda,Itay Gonda,Einat Bar,Vitaly Portnoy,Shery Lev,Joseph Burger,Arthur A. Schaffer,Yaakov Tadmor,Shimon Gepstein,James J. Giovannoni,Nurit Katzir,Efraim Lewinsohn +11 more
TL;DR: The results presented here indicate that in melon fruit tissues, the catabolism of amino acids into aroma volatiles can initiate through a transamination mechanism, rather than decarboxylation or direct aldehyde synthesis, as has been demonstrated in other plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a 'Bacteroidetes' symbiont in Encarsia wasps (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae): proposal of 'Candidatus Cardinium hertigii'.
TL;DR: Electron microscopy revealed that many of the bacteria found in the ovaries of the two Encarsia species contained a regular, brush-like array of microfilament-like structures that appear to be characteristic of the symbiont.
