Impact of Endophytic Produced Lipopeptides and Whitefly, (Bemisia tabaci) Honeydew Kairomone Bacteria on Limitation of The Insect and Its Associated Virus in Tomato

Abstract

The whitefly is one of the most damaging pests to economical tomato crop in the world, it is considered the first plant virus’s transgenic insects. Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) is a major tomato viral disease transgenic by this insect. Many efforts have been done for controlling this virus infection. Among these many efforts was the whitefly biocontrol by using kairomonic bacteria and the endophytic bacterial lipopeptides to induce plant resistance against viral infection. The lipopeptides produced by Bacillus
