Abstract :

[en] The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is an important pest of many economically important crops and the vector of begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae). Recently, the expression of insecticidal proteins and/or toxins or double-stranded (ds)RNA homologous to B. tabaci genes has been demonstrated to provide the plant with protection against B. tabaci and the viruses that it transmits.
