dc.description.abstractWhitefly [Bemisia tabaci; Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae] are polyphagous species infest crop plants in a variety of ways; suck sap from the leaves, excrete and throw large amounts of honeydews on different parts of plant or carry and transfer viruses; reduce crop yield thereby causing heavy economic loss. Whitefly hardly infest fern plants owing to a hormone phytoecdysone adversely inhibiting whitefly development causing molting deformities. Whitefly vectored Ageratum yellow vein virus is a serious threat to several crops. This study is designed to characterize the whitefly morphological features and the stages of development and analyzing computationally the interaction between the virus coat protein with multiple proteins of the whitefly - GroEL, GroES and Ultraspiracle protein, respectively. Furthermore, the interaction between the whitefly and fern protein were analyzed. Whitefly GroES, Ultraspiracle protein, and GroEL have high affinities for the virus coat protein i.e., global energies -50.65, -49.99, and -45.34, respectively. This trend is followed by the whitefly GroES, Ultraspiracle protein, and GroEL with their affinities for the fern protein i.e., global energies -48.67, -47.56, and -34.23, respectively. Alanine scanning was performed to analyze the common interacting residues. To sum up, this study circumvents the tripartite interaction among the whitefly, plant and the virus.
