Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) has emerged as a significant pest for sorghum. The use of sugarcane aphid-resistant sorghum germplasm with integrated pest management strategies appears to be an excellent solution to this problem. In this study,

Plant Genes Benefitting Aphids—Potential for Exploitation in Resistance Breeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Aphids are phloem sap-feeding insects common as pests in various crops. Here we review 62 omics studies of aphid/plant interactions to search for indications of how aphids may manipulate the plants to make them more suitable as hosts, i.e.

Transcriptional and Chemical Changes in Soybean Leaves in Response to Long-Term Aphid Colonization
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Soybean aphids (Aphis glycines Matsumura) are specialized insects that feed on soybean (Glycine max) phloem sap. Transcriptome analyses have shown that resistant soybean plants mount a fast response that limits aphid feeding and population growth ...

mBio, 2018 Members of the genus Rickettsiella are bacterial pathogens of insects and other arthropods. Recently, a novel facultative endosymbiont, “Candidatus Rickettsiella viridis,” was described in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, whose infection causes a ...

Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Soybean Aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura)
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Aphids are an economically important insect group due to their role as plant disease vectors. Despite this economic impact, genomic resources have only been generated for a small number of aphid species.

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Body size is a main fitness component of insect parasitoids. We assessed the potential influence of maternal size of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) on its ability to parasitize the different instars of

Plant Direct, 2022 Previously, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) was developed as a vector for transient expression of heterologous genes in Zea mays (maize). Here, we show that SCMV can also be applied for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) of endogenous maize genes ...

New Phytologist, 2018 Phloem sap quality can differ between and within plants, and affect the performance of aphids. In turn, aphid infestation may change the chemical composition and nutritional value of phloem sap.
