Plant and aphid vector manipulation by a persistent plant virus

Plant viruses rely on both host plant and vectors for a successful infection. This study investigated the global transcriptomic changes in Arabidopsis thaliana that were simultaneously exposed to both a plant virus (turnip yellows virus, polerovirus genus and Solemoviridae family) and its aphid vector (Myzus persicae). Some of these modifications in gene expression may promote in a timely manner viral transmission and dispersion. RNA seq method was used to analyze the effect of the virus on plants infested or not by aphids (Myzus persicae)
