Vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases in human, causing more than 1 million deaths annually. Due to its sessile host, about 80% of 1100 reported viruses in plants were found to be transmitted by insect vector and costs several billon US dollars annually. The main research interest for Prof. Ye’s lab is to underpin molecular mechanisms of multitrophic interactions which can be used to control virus infection by using invasive whitefly transmitted geminiviruses as model system. A real viral disease under field condition always involves in multitrophic interactions, mainly referring a tritrophic interactions to the living community of the virus, the host plants and the insect vector. They further form a network with the core--plant chemical and physic defense against herbivory. The plant defense system stimulates the ecological impacts of a few more trophic levels?on each other: the virus, the plant, the root microbiome, the herbivore, and its?natural enemies such as?hyperparasitoids?or higher-order predators, are also considered. The underpin of the molecular mechanisms in the multitrophic interactions will enhance our capacity to control insect-transmitted viral diseases by environmental-friend methodologies.
