Abstract:14Rice stripe virus (RSV), causal agent of rice stripe disease, is transmitted by the small 15 brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) in a persistent manner. The midgut and 16 salivary glands of SBPH are the first and last barriers in viral circulation and transmission, 17 respectively; however, the precise mechanisms used by RSV to cross these organs and 18 re-inoculate rice have not been fully elucidated. We obtained full-length cDNA of L. 19 striatellus α-tubulin 2 (LsTUB) and found that RSV in… Show more
