<i>Citrus Yellow Vein Clearing Virus</i> Infection in Lemon Influences Host Preference of the Citrus Whitefly by Affecting the Host Metabolite Composition by Yong-Duo Sun, Christopher M. Wallis, Rodrigo Krugner, Raymond Yokomi

“…Further Y-tube olfactometer bioassays revealed that emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from infected plants attracted more citrus whiteflies, but not alate spirea aphids, <i>Aphis spiraecola</i> Patch, than those from healthy plants, suggesting that the VOCs released from CYVCV-infected lemon plants may specifically affect citrus whiteflies. Therefore, we suggest that, in addition to the visual cue of yellow vein symptoms, the preference of citrus whiteflies that settled on CYVCV-infected lemon plants was attributed to a reduction in the levels of repellent volatile compounds.…”
