Jongsma M, Thoen M, Poleij L, Wiegers G, Goedhart P, Dicke M, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2019 Feb; 10:20. PMID: 30761167
Host-plant resistance to insects like thrips and aphids is a complex trait that is difficult to phenotype quickly and reliably. Here, we introduce novel hardware and software to facilitate insect...

Kloth K, Busscher-Lange J, Wiegers G, Kruijer W, Buijs G, Meyer R, et al.
Plant Cell . 2017 Oct; 29(10):2450-2464. PMID: 28970334
The role of phloem proteins in plant resistance to aphids is still largely elusive. By genome-wide association mapping of aphid behavior on 350 natural accessions, we identified the small heat...

Thoen M, Davila Olivas N, Kloth K, Coolen S, Huang P, Aarts M, et al.
New Phytol . 2016 Oct; 213(3):1346-1362. PMID: 27699793
Plants are exposed to combinations of various biotic and abiotic stresses, but stress responses are usually investigated for single stresses only. Here, we investigated the genetic architecture underlying plant responses...

Kloth K, Wiegers G, Busscher-Lange J, van Haarst J, Kruijer W, Bouwmeester H, et al.
J Exp Bot . 2016 Apr; 67(11):3383-96. PMID: 27107291
Aphids induce many transcriptional perturbations in their host plants, but the signalling cascades responsible and the effects on plant resistance are largely unknown. Through a genome-wide association (GWA) mapping study...

Thoen M, Kloth K, Wiegers G, Krips O, Noldus L, Dicke M, et al.
Plant Methods . 2016 Jan; 12:1. PMID: 26788117
Background: Piercing-sucking insects cause severe damage in crops. Breeding for host-plant resistance can significantly reduce the yield losses caused by these insects, but host-plant resistance is a complex trait that...

Kloth K, Ten Broeke C, Thoen M, Hanhart-van den Brink M, Wiegers G, Krips O, et al.
Plant Methods . 2015 Feb; 11:4. PMID: 25657813
Background: Piercing-sucking insects are major vectors of plant viruses causing significant yield losses in crops. Functional genomics of plant resistance to these insects would greatly benefit from the availability of...

Mfuti D, Subramanian S, van Tol R, Wiegers G, de Kogel W, Niassy S, et al.
Pest Manag Sci . 2015 Feb; 72(1):131-9. PMID: 25643946
Background: The effect of spatial separation of the semiochemical Lurem-TR, which has been found to inhibit conidia of entomopathogenic fungi when put together, on the persistence of conidia of Metarhizium...

Outchkourov N, de Kogel W, Wiegers G, Abrahamson M, Jongsma M
Plant Biotechnol J . 2006 Dec; 2(5):449-58. PMID: 17168891
Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), cause very large economic damage on a variety of field and greenhouse crops. In this study, plant resistance against thrips was introduced...

Gerritsen L, Georgieva J, Wiegers G
J Invertebr Pathol . 2005 Jun; 88(3):207-11. PMID: 15955338
The oral toxicity of excretion products of several Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus strains was tested on two thrips species: Frankliniella occidentalis and Thrips tabaci. Out of 46 Photorhabdus isolates and six...
