Genome-wide profiling of piRNAs in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci reveals cluster distribution and association with begomovirus transmission.

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 is a notorious vector capable of transmitting many plant viruses, resulting in serious crop loss and food shortage around the world. To investigate potential sRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in whiteflies that are affected by virus acquisition and transmission, w...
