Current Research Projects:
Dr. Hunter, Lead Scientist conducting research on the spread of plant
diseases by insects.The main focus of research is on the glassy-winged sharpshooter, GWSS,
and other leafhoppers which spread the plant infecting bacteria,
Xylella fastidiosa,at the U.S. Horticultural Research Lab,
Fort Pierce, Florida.
Dr. Hunter works to provide solutions to insect problems under USDA-ARS
National Program 304, Crop Protection and Quarantine.
Dr. Hunter’s lab is elucidating GWSS biology using a genomics approach
and has produced and published ~25,000 genetic sequences isolated from
the GWSS.
These can be found at the National Center Biotechnology and Information,
NCBI, expressed sequence tag, EST database for access by the research and
education community.
Continuing examination of GWSS proteins have led to a deeper understanding
of leafhopper feeding, development, and pathogen interactions.
He is the founder of the ‘Southeastern Xylella Sharpshooter Initiative’
aimed at increasing interactions among researchers on Pierce’s disease
and leafhoppers.
Dr. Hunter is also examining the use of insect viruses as a possible management
tools to reduce insect populations, such as GWSS.
He has discovered several new insect viruses isolated from aphids, leafhoppers,
psyllids, and fire ants.
Dr. Hunter also conducts research on exotic insect pests.
He has produced over 120,000 sequences from many different insect species:
Aphids, (
Toxoptera citricida, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphis gossypii); Leafhoppers, (
Homalodisca coagulata, Oncometopia nigricans); Asian Citrus Psyllid, (
Diaphorina citri); Pink hibiscus mealybug, (
Maconellicoccus hirsutus); citrus weevil, (
Diaprepes abbreviatus); Asian longhorn beetle, (
Anoplophora glabripennis); and parasitoids (
Lysiphlebus testaceipes, Nasonia).
He was awarded ‘Entomologist of the Year 2005’ from the Florida Entomological
Society for, “Internationally recognized contributions to insect genomics”.
He is a member of the International Aphid Genomics working group, working
with researchers from the USA, France, Spain, Japan, and Australia.
The aphid genome effort has resulted in the production of two pea aphid
microarrays which are being used to increase our understanding of gene
expression in aphid biology.
Dr. Hunter is also a member of the Genome Steering committee for the National
Parasitoid Genome Project,
Nasonia and the International Whitefly Genome Initiative.
He also organizes the ‘International Insect Genomics Workshop at
the International Plant & Animal Genome conference.
Dr. Hunter is a member of the ‘International Grape Genome Program’, and
a co-developer of the ‘North American Grape Genome Database’, which is
hosted at FloridaA&MUniversity.
North American grape varieties have greater resistance to grape diseases
and insect pests.
Design of genetic markers linked to resistance traits are being used in
a maker-assisted selection program to produce new grape varieties with
resistance to important grape diseases, such as Pierce's Disease, and fungal
pathogens.
Due to the economic importance of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina
citri, as a vector of bacteria associated with the disease Huanglongbing,
HLB in citrus, several new genomics efforts have been started to address
many of the unknowns surrounding the cause and spread of HLB.

The actual causes of Huanglongbing, HLB, (known as ‘Citrus Yellow Dragon
Disease’ or ‘Citrus Greening’) in citrus is currently unknown. While the
bacteria, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, CLa, has been shown to be
associated with the occurrence of HLB in citrus, there is a lack of data
on all the microorganisms associated with the ‘cause’ of HLB. There is
growing agreement within the scientific community that the cause may be
due to the interaction of several different pathogens.
To resolve this issue a genomics approach was proposed and developed,
incorporating a Metagenomics approach to identify all possible micro organisms
associated with HLB. By using high-resolution community-wide genomic information,
we can describe the composition, function and emergent properties of the
integrated microbial community within the citrus tree and within the psyllid
vector more accurately.
While a genomics effort is being applied to the Asian citrus psyllid,
AsCP, to provide insight into psyllid biology, the Metagenomic project
provides a deeper understanding of the micro-world within the psyllid.
The DNA from psyllids or from the phloem of citrus trees contains a community
of organisms that may include a wide range of organisms from bacterial
to viral species at different levels of diversity and abundance. Since
many microbes resist being cultured, culture-independent methods such as
genomics is often the only way for identifying and enumerating microbes
in samples like citrus phloem and the psyllid.>
Therefore, an International Asian Citrus Psyllid Genomics consortium was
organized, bringing together researchers working on insects, bacteria,
psyllid vectors, plant disease, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Pathology, Microbiology
and others. The main objectives will be to identify the causal agents of
HLB, and then to apply these answers to the development of innovative management
strategies against this devastating citrus disease.

General Information on GWSS:
Scientific name of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, GWSS: Homalodisca vitripennis
Germar, is the main vector of the plant infecting pathogenic bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa.
Xylellabacterium, causes Pierce’s Disease of grapes, and many other 'Scorch-like’
plant diseases.
Since the GWSS can fly long distances, and feeds from a wide range of
plants it can spread these bacteria far and wide through many different
crops. Grapes, almonds, peaches and other tree crops especially are
heavy hit by these pathogens.
Examination of the developmental genes within the eggs, embryos, and nymphs
is aiding efforts to develop environmentally safe and efficient long-term
management strategies to disrupt insect development and reduce the spread
of Xylellacaused diseases.
How damage is caused:
GWSS is a piercing-sucking feeder that extracts fluid from the xylem tissues
of plants. This feeding spreads the bacterial diseases to other host plants.
The pest is highly mobile, flying long distances, and feeds on many different
plants, thus spreading the disease to many plants in a single day. The
GWSS has over 100 different host plants on which it feeds. The
bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is spread during GWSS feeding. The interactions
between bacterium and plant induces the symptoms similar to
drought, wherin the leaves and stems dry out, thus infected plants
lose their vigor and gradually die.
Other diseases vectored by GWSS (strains of Xylella fastidiosa):
Pierce's disease (grapes) Leaf scorch (almonds) Alfalfa dwarf (alfalfa) Oleander scorch (oleander) Phony peach disease (peaches) Plum leaf scald (plums) Citrus variegated chlorosis (citrus)
Many other leafhopper species, such as the black-winged sharpshooter, Oncometopia nigricanscan also transmit and spread Xylellacaused plant diseases.
Intensive comparisons of the genetics between different leafhopper species
is providing insights into how the pathogen interacts with the insect vectors,
and adding to our understanding of pathogen acquisition and transmission.
Discovering Insect Viral Pathogens:
Newly discovered insect viruses, specific to sharpshooters, such as HoCV-1,
which reduces GWSS survival, along with discovery of viruses in other insects,
like fire-ants, SINV-1, and in many other insect pests demonstrates that
there are a lot of unexploited insect pathogens yet to be discovered which
may serve to reduce insect pests.
Iridovirus infection in GWSS fatbody tissues (pictured above) within the
head of adults that were injected with virus into the lower abdomen.
Examination of virus infection shows that IIV6 infects fatbody, muscle,
and nerve tissues of GWSS.
Mortality ranged from 20-30%, and egg production was reduced.
Insect infecting viruses may provide a means to reduce insect pests in
an environmentally friendly manner.
The main obstacle is the development of a method for mass production of
virus in a cost efficient manner.
Modern technological breakthroughs may soon make this approach a feasible,
cost effective means of insect management.
New discoveries of insect infecting viruses, which are highly specific
to the insects which they infect may provide new means to manage insect
pests.
In the Diaprepes root weevil, DRW, we have shown that infected males can
transfer virus to non-infected females, which subsequently become infected
and can then transfer the virus back into males during mating.
In insects that mate multiple times using a virus suppression holds great
promise as more individuals become infected and either die or become sterilized.
Exotic Insect Pests:
TOXOPTERA citricida,the Brown Citrus Aphid, BrCA, is the main vector of Citrus Tristeza virus,
CTV, in citrus growing regions.
The aphids produce two morphologically distinct adults one and one with
wings (Alate), and without wings (Apterous).
In the winged stage the aphids disperse to nearby host trees and begin
to feed thus transferring the virus and infecting more citrus trees.
Genomic analyses is permitting a closer examination of the genes and proteins
playing critical roles in virus acquisition and transmission, as well as
exposing the intimate interactions between insect and host plants.
