Cucurbits are economically important crops that are widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including the southern US. In recent years, higher temperatures have favored the rapid build-up of whiteflies in the fall-grown cucurbits in this region. As a result, whitefly-transmitted viruses (WTVs) have severely impacted the marketable yield of cucurbits. In this review, we discuss three major groups of WTVs negatively impacting cucurbit cultivation in the southern US, including begomoviruses, criniviruses, and ipomoviruses. Here, we discuss the available information on the biology, epidemiology and advances made toward detecting and managing these viruses, including sources of resistance and cultural practices.
葫芦科作物是经济上重要的作物,在世界许多地区都有广泛种植,包括美国南部。近年来,高温有利于该地区秋季生长的葫芦科作物中粉虱的快速繁殖。结果,粉虱传播的病毒(WTVs)严重影响了葫芦科作物的商品产量。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了影响美国南部葫芦科作物种植的三种主要的 WTVs,包括番茄黄曲叶病毒、黄瓜曲叶病毒和甘薯曲叶病毒。在这里,我们讨论了有关这些病毒的生物学、流行病学和检测与管理方面的现有信息,包括抗性来源和文化实践。
