Next generation sequencing technologies for insect virus discoverySijun Liu
Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA
Viruses 3:1849-69. 2011..We will also discuss implications of the ubiquity of viruses in insects and in insect cell lines. All of the methods described in this article can also apply to the discovery of viruses in other organisms...
A simple wax-embedding method for isolation of aphid hemolymph for detection of luteoviruses in the hemocoelSijun Liu
418 Science II, Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA
J Virol Methods 132:174-80. 2006..The wax-embedding hemolymph collection technique provides a useful tool for studying molecular interactions between persistent and circulative plant viruses and their insect vectors...
A peptide that binds the pea aphid gut impedes entry of Pea enation mosaic virus into the aphid hemocoelSijun Liu
Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA
Virology 401:107-16. 2010..GBP3.1 also bound to the gut epithelia of the green peach aphid and the soybean aphid. These results suggest a novel strategy for inhibiting plant virus transmission by at least three major aphid pest species...
Baculovirus-expressed virus-like particles of Pea enation mosaic virus vary in size and encapsidate baculovirus mRNAsS Sivakumar
Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 3222, United States
Virus Res 139:54-63. 2009..Baculovirus expression of PEMV VLPs provides a useful tool for future analysis of RNA encapsidation requirements and molecular aphid-virus interactions...
The readthrough domain of pea enation mosaic virus coat protein is not essential for virus stability in the hemolymph of the pea aphidSijun Liu
Department of Entomology, 418 Science II, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA
Arch Virol 154:469-79. 2009..Thus, the RTD is not necessary for stability of PEMV RNA in the aphid hemolymph, and it must play another role in aphid transmission...
Deep sequencing of the transcriptomes of soybean aphid and associated endosymbiontsSijun Liu
Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, United States of America
PLoS ONE 7:e45161. 2012..The soybean aphid has significantly impacted soybean production in the U.S. Transcriptomic analyses were conducted for further insight into leads for potential novel management strategies...
Naturally arising point mutations in non-essential domains of equine infectious anemia virus Rev alter Rev-dependent nuclear-export activityWendy O Sparks
Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Preventive Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA
J Gen Virol 89:1043-8. 2008..The results indicated that limited genetic variation outside the essential functional domains of Rev can alter the phenotype and may confer a selective advantage in vivo...
Virus-derived genes for insect-resistant transgenic plantsSijun Liu
Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA
Adv Virus Res 68:427-57. 2006..Plant expression of polydnavirus-derived genes is described by Gill et al. (this volume, pp. 393-426)...
Characterization of functional domains of equine infectious anemia virus Rev suggests a bipartite RNA-binding domainJae-Hyung Lee
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program, Iowa State University, Ames 50011, USA
J Virol 80:3844-52. 2006..These findings suggest that EIAV Rev utilizes a bipartite RNA-binding domain...
The 3prime prime or minute-terminal structure required for replication of Barley yellow dwarf virus RNA contains an embedded 3prime prime or minute endGennadiy Koev
Plant Pathology Department, Iowa State University, 351 Bessey Hall, Ames, Iowa 50011-1020, USA
Virology 292:114-26. 2002..This 3prime prime or minute structure and the polymerase homologies suggest that genus Luteovirus is more closely related to the Tombusviridae family than to other Luteoviridae genera...
A conserved capsid protein surface domain of Cucumber mosaic virus is essential for efficient aphid vector transmissionSijun Liu
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA
J Virol 76:9756-62. 2002....
