Developing conversed microsatellite markers and their implications in evolutionary analysis of the Bemisia tabaci complex
In this study, 358, 433 and 322 new polynucleotide microsatellites are separately identified from the transcriptome sequences of three cryptic species of the Bemisia tabaci complex. The cross-species transferability of 57 microsatellites was then experimentally validated.

This study established detection methods for 17 major sweet potato viruses using single and multiplex RT-PCR assays. It presents the first documented occurrence of four viruses (SPVC, SPV2, SPCFV, and SPSMV-1) in Korea. Based on the results of the survey, the study developed multiplex RT-PCR assays for simple and simultaneous detection of the eight sweet potato viruses recorded.

Quantification and localisation of Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (Geminiviridae) in populations of Bemisia tabaci
To analyse the translocation and to identify critical determinants for transmission, two populations of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 were compared for transmitting Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WmCSV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV).
