Rice stripe virus (RSV) is the causative agent of rice stripe disease and is completely dependent on insect vectors for its plant‐to‐plant transmission.Laodelphax striatellusis the major insect vector for RSV. In this study, we explored the interactions between RSV infection andL. striatellusautophagy, a potential intrinsic antiviral mechanism in insects. We found thatL. striatellusautophagic activity did not affect RSV infection; however, the autophagy‐related‐8 (Atg8) gene significantly enhanced virus infection. During RSV initial infection within theL. striatellusmidgut, silencing ofAtg8expression significantly decreased the phosphorylation of c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (p‐JNK); however, when RSV infection is absent, silencing of Atg8 did not alterp‐JNK levels. These results indicated that Atg8 might activate the JNK machinery by allowing more virus infection into cells. We further revealed thatAtg8‐deficiency significantly decreased RSV accumulation on the surface of the insect midgut epithelial cells, suggesting a receptor trafficking function of the γ‐aminobutyric acid receptor‐associated protein family. Using the RSV ovary entry as a model, in which vitellogenin receptor (VgR) mediates RSV cell entry, we clarified thatAtg8‐deficiency decreased the abundance of VgR localizing on the cytomembrane and disturbed the attachment of RSV in the germarium zones. Collectively, these results revealed an autophagy‐independent function ofL. striatellusAtg8 that enhances RSV initial infection by increasing virus attachment on the infection sites.
