“…Another emerging area of research is to deploy vector-resistant crops, and maize inbred lines with resistance to P. maidis, C. mbila, and the aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) have been characterized (Dintinger, Boissot, Chiroleu, Hamon, & Reynaud, 2005;Dintinger, Verger, et al, 2005;Jones, 2006;Kairo, Kiduyu, Mutinda, & Empig, 1995;So, Ji, & Brewbaker, 2010). The rapidly developing genome information on maize virus vectors is expected to be key to identifying targets for development of vector-resistant maize (Cassone, Chen, Chiera, Stewart, & Redinbaugh, 2014;Chen, Cassone, Bai, Redinbaugh, & Michel, 2012;Whitfield, Rotenberg, Aritua, & Hogenhout, 2011). …”
